The Pressc says—
" It is believed that Dr. Bowring, of the English
'rouse of Commons, who has just quitted Paris for
Brussels, came to France to sound our Government on
the grave question of suppressing quarantines, which is
to be the object of a motion in the English Parliament
the next session. The suppression of quarantines, or at
least a reduction in the time assigned to them, is an
inevitable censequence of the improvement in the modes
of transport and communication."

The first Cabinet Council for the season has been
summoned to assemble to-morrow (Monday), the 19th
instant. Summonses have been forwarded to all the
Ministers.—Observer.
ELECTION OF THE LORD RECTOR OF THE UNIVER-
SITY OF GLASGOW.—The election took place on Friday,
Professor Hill presiding in the absence of Principal
Macfarlan, who was unable to attend from indisposition.
The candidates were the Earl of Eglinton (Tory), and
Andrew Rutherfurd, Esq., late Lord Advocate for
Scotland (Liberal). The numbers for Mr. Rutherfurd
were 277, and for Lord Eglinton 185—majority 92.
MELTON MOWDRAY.—The arrivals .at this place
of sporting celebrity are unusually numerous. Among
the first-rate Leicestershire studs which have already
arrived are those of the Earl of Wilton, Colonel Wynd-
ham, Lord A. St. Maur, Captain Oliver, Sir J. Mulgrave,
Bart., W. S. S. Crawford, Esq., C. P. Leslie, Esq., H.
IG. Surtees, Esq., R. M. Oliver Massey, Esq.; and stab-
ing are taken for many more studs, which are expected
in the course of the ensuing week.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—On Saturday, shortly be-
fore two o'
clock, considerable alarm was excited in the

on business at No. 14, Earl-street. Police-constable
1:34 G first discovered the fire through seeing smoke
issuing out of the roof. An alarm having been instantly
raised, the inmates were aroused, and they managed,
after great difficulty, to effect their escape in safety. The
Brigade, parish, and West of England engines promptly
attended, and there being a good supply of water, the
firemen set to work most vigorously ; but whilst they
were pumping the engines, a messenger arrived with
intelligence h
intelligence of another outbreak having occurred
Baldwin-street, City-road. As many of the engines as
could be spared were sent thither, when flames were
seen breaking through the window shutters of No. 80.
Such was the fierce nature of this conflagration, that the
residents had barely time to effect their escape. The
firemen being aided by the police and a good stream of
water, succeeded in the space of an hour in completely
tinF,ruishing both fires. A deal of valuable property,
which was thrown into the streets, was taken charge of
by Mr. Inspector Shackell and his men. Whether or not
the sufferers were insured, we could not learn in the
excitement that prevailed.

all the rest, was withdrawn. This shows that NAR-
TAEz is complete master of the Cortes.

The papers are still barren of news. The Journal
des Debals, in order to show the progress of commer-
cial industry in France, as compared with that of
England, gives statistical details of our exports from
1841 to 1843, inclusive, and is of opinion that the
occasional depression and increase of exports from
France has gone on nearly in the same proportion as
the English exports. In several articles, such as the
woollen and cotton manufactures, the writer contends
that in England they have been nearly stationary for
ten years, while in France they have greatly increased
but we will leave the writer to state the facts in his
own way :
" If we compare the exports of France (commerce spe-
ciak) to those of England, it will be found that the first
represent, in fact, very little more than one-half
(887,000,000 f.) of the second. The superiority is cer-
tainly great in favour of England, and the extent of the
commerce of that country, no more than the economical
considerations which create an imperious necessity for it
to maintain this expansion of its markets, have no need
to de demonstrated or commented upon here. On her
external commerce depend the wealth, the influence,
and the grandeur of England. Let us consider only
whether the relation we have pointed out between the
affairs of the two countries has constantly been the
same, and whether both have walked with equal steps
in the paths which lead to supplying foreign markets.
From 1837 to 1839 inclusively, the average annual
amount of British exports rose to 1 milliard 170 millions.
During the same time our exports rose to an average of
615 millions. Comparing those two periods with what
has been stated for 1843 (1 milliard 300 millions and
687 millions), we shall find the same improvement for
both countries of about 11 per cent. Relatively, there-
fore, during these seven years, we neither lost nor gained,
but perhaps it would be more correct to say that we lost.
It is important now for us to regain from England a por-
tion of the ground on which she has surpassed us. If
this is not the case for the ensemble, it is satisfactory to
acknowledge that, in the most considerable branch of
manufacture, that of tissues, our progress has been more
rapid than that of England. This assertion may at first
create surprise, but it rests on the positive and official
facts. In 1837, 1838, and 1839, England exported on an
annual average for a„value of 645 millions of cotton, linen,
woolen, and silk goods. Our sales of those manufactures
averaged only 273 millions. In 1843, the sales for Eng-
land amounted to 465 millions, and for France to 315,
being an average of 15 per cent. upon our side and only 3
per cent. on that of Great Britain. This, we think, is
a decided proof of improvement; all the branches of
manufactures, however, are far from having experi-
enced the same rate of progress. It is due almost en-
tirely to the spirit of enterprise in woollen manufac-
tures, which, on the contrary, have made but little
progress in England. We may say the same of silk
goods, but not of cotton and linen goods, the supply
of which England may be said to have monopolised
in all the nations of the globe. The exports of English
cotton goods, in 1843, amounted in value to 406,000,0001.,
in weight to 80,000,000 of kilogrammes, and on a
quantity, to 820,000 kilometres, or 205,000 leagues,
being nearly twenty-three times the circumference of
our globe. Next to these goods, iron was the most im-
portant article of the English exports. England sold iron
to the commercial world to the amount of 64,000,000,
being only 3,000,000 more than in 1842, whereas, con-
sidering the enormons reduction in the price of this
article, the increase ought to have been much more con-
siderable. 'With the markets which Great Britain has
created in India and China, we may conjecture her ma-
nufactures will receive a new impetus, and that she
is really little alarmed at the gloomy predictions which
have been made by some persons as to the future fate
of British products. Our own products are extending,
as we have shown, not only as regards foreign markets,
but in our vast national market, where the increase of
wealth has given a new impulse for the importation
of merchandise and articles of consumption. Thus,
whilst in England the quantity of foreign wool manufac-
tured has remained for ten years nearly at 20,000,000 of
kilogrammes per year, it has risen in France in the
sane period, from 12,000,000 to 20,000,000.
Something analogous has taken place in cottons—our
consumption of which has risen from 40,000,000 to
60,000,000 of kilogrammes,whilst it has risen in England
in the proportion only of from 190 to 210. This double
source of trade, a vast and rich home market, and an
increase in the exports, constitute for our country an
excellent state of things, which will infallibly be im-
proved by the habits of well-regulated and judicious in-
dustry, and the spirit of perseverance in our enter-
prises. These form, in a great measure, the secret of the
commercial greatness of England."
These papers contain no satisfactory intelligence
from Spain. Indeed the remarks in most of them
on the present state of affairs is of a gloomy character.
The Correspondent of the National, however, finds
consolation in the first decision of the Court-martial
on General PRIM, though he expresses serious appre-
hensions that the tyranny of NARVAEZ will finally
prevail. Ile thus remarks :
" Great was the public surprise on the arrival of the
double intelligence of the sitting of the Court-martial
and of the judgment it pronounced. The fact was not
only unexpected but unexampled, and its effect has been
such, that even the Progressist journals have loudly
praised the court for its independence. This shows the
situation in which we live here, and we must be grateful
at not seeing the accused parties condemned and exe-
cuted upon a mere report of the
,police. Those judges
should be honoured for their uprightness in not passing
sentence upon simple indications. In other times and in
other countries they would have been more rigid ; for
the charge was made, and the incoherence, the emptiness,
the absurdity of the accusation was as apparent as day-
light. Why then did not th• tribunal declare the in-
nocence of which it was convinced ? This it would
have done had not the imperious will of Narvaez domi-
neered over it. The judges are dependent upon him,
and already I am told that one of them has received
a promise of being appointed a Captain-General of a
province.---[This promise, says the National, has been
realised, for we find in the journals received yesterday,
that General Concha, brother of the Deputy, and one of
the members of the Court-martial, has been appointed
Captain-General of the Basque Provinces.] Instead of
declaring their incompetence, the generals have ordered
a new examination, and now God knows when this odious
business will be brought to an end. Many persons be-
lieve that Prim will be acquitted; but I must be allowed
a contrary opinion, and express my conviction that the
tortuous path that has been entered upon will continue
to a great length, and end at last in a sentence of trans-
portation."

LATEST NEWS FROM THE RIVER
PLATE.
(From the Time.t.)
For the following intelligence we are indebted to
the courtesy of a highly respectable firm at Liverpool.
The date from Buenos Ayres is the 31st of August.
The Argentine Minister, General Guido, had in-
formed the Brazilian Government that Buenos Ayres
would consider the departure of General Paz through
their territories as an act of hostility, and accordingly
Paz had been detained at Rio. This had caused a
great sensation at Monte Video, and the circum-
stances was considered as most unfavourable.
There had been a guerrilla on the evening of the
29th, in which the Monte Videans were said to have
lost 100 men, their advanced posts having been sur-
prised by the Italian Legion of Oribe, so that the
fight was entirely between foreigners.
A. French corvette had arrived at Buenos Ayres
with dispatches for the French Admiral,
The news brought from Europe by the packet was
considered favourable for the Government,* and the
accounts from Brazil being pacific we may naturally
look forward for an improved business here, but no-
thing satisfactory can be done until the war with
Monte Video is ended, on account of the constant
squabbling with foreigners which the blockade and a
state of warfare creates.
The following pretest against arbitrary and inju-
rious impositions by the Monte Videan Government
had been signed by the various British residents and
mercantile firms in that city :

" Monte Video, Aug. 22.
" Sir,—The undersigned subjects of her Britannic
Majesty, residing in Monte Video, and occupying or
owning houses or warehouses therein, respectfully call
your attention to a decree of this Government, confiscat-
ing the real and personal property of all absentees (na-
tives or Spanish), also all rents due, or to become due,
from such property.
" Also, to another decree of the present month, exact-
ing new and exorbitant taxes monthly of four and six
rials on eaoh window or balcony, and two, four, and
eight dollars per month on each door of house, shop, or
warehouse, in addition to the municipal tax of ten rials
per month hiterto paid on each door.
" We beg to remind you, that under the first-men-
tioned decree, both shops and warehouses have been
forcibly opened, and their contents seized by the existing
authorities, to the serious loss of their lawful creditors,
amongst whom are some of the undersigned.
" We have also to remind you that the rents of the
houses we inhabit belonging to absentees (if paid to the
present authorities as demanded) will, in the event of a
change of rulers, be inevitably demanded from us a
second time by the owners, and we shall, at any rate,
be liable to troublesome and expensive law suits and their
result..
" The second decree imposes upon us new and exorbi-
tant monthly taxes on our doors and windows. We be-
lieve this to be in direct violation of the tenth article of
our commercial treaty, which exempts us from all mili-
tary contributions. Some of us are proprietors, against
whom this is a direct tax ; others are only tenants, but
such have no hope that their landlords will deduct the
amount from their rents ; and such tenants will be finally
implicated in the same vexatious law suits as before
stated, should a change of Government take place. Be-
sides, the tax (not only contrary to the treaty, but enor-
mous in amount) is to be exacted by force monthly, and
to support a war which has already ruined one half of the
inhabitants of Monte Video, and is rapidly conducting
the other half to the same abyss of misery, and, in many
instances, to death.
" We, therefore, request that you will allow us to ex-
tend a protest to her Britannic Majesty's Consulate in
this city against both of the above decrees, as well as
against the seizure of goods belonging to parties absent,
indebted to us as before stated, and against the acts and
deeds which have or may be practised against any of 'us
by the existing authorities in end,savouring to carry the
above into execution.
" And we further request that you will permit us to
deposit in her Britannic Majesty's Consulate the full
amount in cash of all and every claim which the Govern-
ment may make against any of us, under either of the
decrees above stated, suck deposit to be finally paid over
by you to the parties that her Majesty may in her wis-
dom direct ; or, if you object to this, that you will be
pleased to guarantee us, that whatever change may
take place in the political relations of the country, we
shall at no future period be liable or be compelled to
again pay the sums thus exacted.
" We finally request that you will, at your earliest
convenience, forward to her Britannic Majesty's Go-
vernment copies of the decrees in question, and also a
copy of our letter, and be pleased to solicit their early
attention to, and decision upon, all bearings of the ques-
tion, and beg respectfully to assure both them and you,
that we confide in the wisdom and justice of their
decision.
" We are, Sir, your obedient humble servants,

" To Adolphus Turner, Esq., her Ma-
jesty a Charge d'Aillurei."
(Copy of the letter which accompanied the representa-
tion to Mr. Turner.)
" Monte Video, Aug. 23.
" Sir,--We have the honour to wait upon you with the
accompanying letter, addressed to yourself by ♦arious
British residents in this city, and respectfully requesting
your attention thereto."

• (COPY ov REPLY.)
"Monte Video, Aug. 24.
" Gentlemen,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 22d inst. (received to-day), in which
you protest against two of the decrees of this Govern-
ment—one conscating the real and personal property of
all absentees (natives or Spanish), also all rents due or
to become due from such property ; aad the second im-
posing a new monthly tax on the doors, windows, and
balconies of the houses of this city. I have to inform
you that according to your desire I have caused due
note to be made of your protest in her Britannic Ma-
jesty's Consulate-General in this city, which may be ex-
tended at any time you may require it. I regret that I
cannot comply with your request that I should permit

of the decrees above stated, or that I should guarantee,
that in whatever change which may take place in the
politital circumstances of this country, you should at no
future period be compelled again to pay the sum exacted.
"I do not feel justified in authorising you to resist the
operation of a law which has been passed with the usual
formalities required by the Constitution of the Republic,
and I cannot depart from the usual practice observed by
her Majesty's diplomatic agents abroad, by giving a gua-
rantee with reference to possible future contingencies.
" I consider it to be my duty to state to you that I
cannot approve of the language of that part of your letter
which refers to the contest which is unfortunately being
carried on in this country, as I consider it to be highly
desirable that her Majesty's subjects residing here should
abstain from any public expression of sentiments which
might be viewed as indicating a desire for the success of
either of the contending parties. I hare transmitted a

DISPUTE BETWEEN TILE TWO
DUTCH CHAMBERS.
W. have received the Handelsblad of I'Vednes-
day, which contains an account of two sittings of the
Second Chamber of the States-General, and of the
discussion concerning the rejection of their address
by the First Chamber. During the first sitting, Ileer
Thorbecke, Ileer Witwerf Sterling, and others, argued,
with some warmth, that the Second Chamber was
competent to present a separate address in answer to
the Speech from the Throne, and that it was even
bound to do so. This will appear a bold statement
after the official notification by the Minister of the
Interior, Baron Schimmelpenninck, that the King
must decline receiving a separate address. In the
evening sitting of Tuesday, after several members had
spoken, it was put to the vote whether the document
transmitted from the First Chamber should be received
as a notification, and it was decided by a majority
of 29 to 25 that it should be rejected. The second
question, whether the Second Chamber alone should
present the address to the King which had
been drawn up by it was resolved in the negative,
by a majority of 35 to 19. The third question,
whether the address adopted by the Second Chamber
should be laid before the King, with an additional
one informing his Majesty that the First Chamber
had not thought proper to coalesce with it, was also
resolved negatively by a majority of 32 to 22. The
fourth question, whether the King should be merely
informed of the reasons which prevented the States-
General from presenting an address this year, was re-
solved in the negative by a majority of 39 to 15.
Finally, the fifth and all-important question, whether
the adopted address should be presented by both
Chambers of the States-General with a notification
of the difference of opinion on the 15th paragraph,
respecting a revision of the fundamental law, was put
to the vote, when there appeared an equality of num-
bers-27 on each side.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. I.—For some time past, we have
had numerous street robberies and burglaries. Tho
magistrates are considering how to improve the nightly
watch in the city.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 3.—Great sensation has been caused
here by the declaration of insolvency presented to tho
Sweabourg tribunal by the well-known Baron Norden.
Both the debts and assets amount to large sums. Baron
Norden's debts are stated at 600,000 dollars, and the
assets at 800,000.
Cowa.;Tz, Nov. 4.—lt is difficult to form an idea of
the excitement which has been caused by the letter of
the Catholic priest Rouge, which several German
papers have copied from the Saxon Vaterland's
Blattern. The superior authorities are not without
apprehension on this account, and while the cen-
sors sea reason to allow pretty free circulation
to the polemical articles directed against this letter in
the Roman Catholic journals, we hear that the highest
provincial authority will institute proceedings against
those of our cern journals which have inserted that let-
ter. Violent altercations have arisen on this subject in
several companies ; and the Anzciger, published here,
calls on all Roman Catholics not to admit into their fa-
milies journals which contain such calumnies against the
liomish religion. In general, particular attention seems
to be now paid to the newspapers, and we learn from
good authority, that on Sunday next, by order of the
Bishop Arnoldi, sermons are to be preached in all the
churches against the Treves Gazette (Triersche Zeitung.)
HESSE CASSEL, Nov. 4.—Some journals have hinted
that Hesse Cassel would withdraw from the Zollverein,
and from Hanover. There is no foundation for such a re-
port. Hesse Cassel is indebted for the few advantages
it derives from its trade and manufactures to its acces-
sion to the Zollverein. It certainly seems that there is
some difference between Cassel and Berlin, but they
originate in causes which do not directly affect our
country. It cannot be denied, however, that the pros-
perity of Hesse Cassel has greatly declined, and that the
most vigorous measures are required to raise it again.
Only the town of Hanover, which has some manufac-
tures, appears to thrive, though it cannot boast of en-
joying any particular favour. Cassel loses much by the
Elector, with his great revenues, being abroad, and the
Electoral Prince and co-Regent is obliged, in some
degree, to limit his household establishment. We have
now given up all hope of the return of the Elector to
Cassel.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 13.—After a long debate, the Chamber
has to-day rejected all the augmentations proposed for
the superior military court, and for the auditors of the
first and second class.

DEATH OF Da. ABERCROMBIE.—We are sorry to
announce the sudden demise of this celebrated and phi-
lanthropic physician. The deceased was seized with a
fit of apoplexy, at his residence in York -place, this morn-
ing, which proved almost immediately fatal. The loss
of Dr. Abercrombie will be deeply and severely felt.
His benevolence was unwearied. In his character we
have a beautiful combination of intellectual talent and
moral excellence—genius surrounded with the halo of
Christian virtue.—Scottish Herald of Thursday.
INrooLwicu.—A quantity of bedding having been
abstracted from the Hebe receiving-ship at Woolwich,
which belonged to the Daedalus frigate, the Ann,
lighter, having been alongside was searched, but none
of the bedding was found. It appears, however, that
during the search a quantity of leather, cut into pieces
for shoe-making work, had been found with the Govern-
ment marks upon it, and other articles, which caused
instructions to be issued to discharge the master and crew.
HER MAJESTY'S STAG HOUNDS.—A large field, in-
eluding the Earl of Rosslyn, several of the officers of
the regiments stationed at Windsor and Hounslow, and
a considerable muster of neighboiring gentry and yeo-
men, to the number of upwards of 150, were at the meet,
on Friday morning, at Littleton, near Staines. The cele-
brated stag. Jim Crow, which afforded some excellent runs
during last season, upon being uncarted near Ashford,went
away towards the Staines union workhouse, doubling to
the left between Ashford and Bedfont on to Feltham
hill, and then away for Sunbury Common, crossing the
high road for Shepperton. Jim Crow then wheeled to
the left and made for Sunbury, where he took to the
Thames, crossing the river near the weir to the Surrey
side. The hounds were then drawn off, and taken round
over Walton-bridge, and again laid on near the weir,
the stag taking away for Moulsey Hurst, where there
was a check, Jim Crow again taking to the Thames,
and landing on an eyot in the middle of the stream. A
punt was soon manned by the yokels of Moulsey, and
the stag driven from his place of refuge into the
Thames, swimming again to the Surrey side, making
for West Moulsey, where it was taken on the farm of
Mrs. Edwards, after a run (the first eight or nine miles
without a check) of an hour and a half, and upwards of
seventeen miles from the kennel at Ascot. In conse-
quence of the late rains the waters were out in all di-
rections in the vicinity of the Thames, and the country
exceedingly heavy. The meet, on Monday, will be at
Broomball-hut, and on Friday next at Stoke Com.

THE LATE FORGERY OF BANK NOTES.—Since the
particulars of the recent forgery of notes belonging to
the Stockton and Durham County Bank appeared four
persons, whose names are Henry Russell, formerly a
schoolmaster; Matthew aod James Watson (father and
son), brewers and cornfacto:s; and David Buglass, spirit
dealer, have been, after an examination which lasted
several days, committed to Durham gaol for trial at the
ensuing Winter Assizes. On the last day of the exami-
nation Russell made a full confession, and gave a state-
ment of their operations. He said they commenced
forging in May, he being the sole originator of the pro-
ceedings. The two Watsons assisted him, and the plate
from which the notes were printed v,vas engraved by the
electro-magnetic process, with the exception of the
managing director's name, the name' of the person enter-
ing
the dates, and the numbers, whil'h were afterwards
supplied by the pen. They were pricted st Watson's
house, on paper which he had purchased. cor the pur pose,
by a small press like a linen press-40 had been printed,
hilt they had only succeeded in issuing 20- :luglass was
in company with the Watson! when one of th.° notes
was passed. Only eight of the notes hive yet been
fourd, and they were all passed in the rpeighbourhoNl
on the two cloys preceding their apprehensip,

THE HAGUE, Nov. 13.—The Second Chamber of
the States. General met this morning at eleven o'clock,
and resumed the debates on the resolution to be taken
in consequence of the refusal of the First Chamber to
agree to the proposed address in answer to the King's
speech. Our readers know that in the evening
sitting, the day before yesterday, the votes on this
question were equally divided. This morning, after
five Members had spoken, the Chamber again pro-
ceeded to vote, and the proposal, slightly modified, in
conformity with an amendment moved by Mr. Vervey
Mejar, was adopted by a majority of 28 to 26, Mr.
Van Naamen, who had before voted against, having
now voted for it; consequently, the address will be
again sent to the First Chamber, as such as it was
originally drawn up, excepting the 11th section, which
is now expressed in the following lines :
" litre expect that the country will reap the fruits
of the period of tranquility and peace, the blessing of
which Providence now bestows on us."
" The Second Chamber expressed a wish that
during this period the revisal and improvement of our
constitutional institution may be taken up at a season-
able opportunity.
" The first Chamber, on the contrary, without en-
tering on the examination of the question whether it
is desirable to proceed to such revisal and improve-
ment, found, in Act 227 of the fundamental law, an
obstacle, which hinders it from agreeing to the ex-
pression of the wish of the Second Chamber."
The Chamber they passed, by a majority of 47 to 7,
the project of law relative to the repayment of the
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. bonds of the late Syndi-
cate for 1844. The next subject in the order of the
day was the debate on the project of law relative to the
re-payment of the debt of the Government to the
Commercial Company.
Two Members having asked for some explanation,
the Minister of Finance replied, that not only had the
resources which had been calculated upon for the'suc-
cess of the voluntary loan been obtained, but that
they had exceeded what was expected, as will appear
from a project of law which will shortly be pre-
sented to the Chamber relative to the completion of
the ways and means for 1844.
On promulgating the law of the 6th of March, the
receipt of forty-five millions was calculated upon,
and up to this time the amount of the expenditure is
only twenty-one and a half millions, consequently
the repayment of twenty-two millions to the Com-
mercial Company may be easily effected ' • and the
Government (added the Minister) intends that repay-
ment shall take place before the end of this year.
The project of law was then agreed to by 51 to 2.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 14.—The First Chamber of the
States-General is convoked for the 22d of this month.
His Majesty's frigate the Jason, and the brig Snellhud,
under the command of Prince Henry, hare arrived in
the Texel from the Mediterranean.
His Royal Highness Prince Henry has arrived a'

It is a remarkable circumstance, that from all parts
of the world, from whence advices have recently been
received, floods, storms, and in the West Indies espe-
cially, shocks of earthquake have been experienced in
a greater or lesser degree. Nor have the shipping on
the sea-board of this country escaped from the ravages
committed by what appears to be an almost universal
tempest—the immense sea•board of America, in fact,
from Buffalo and the lakes on the North, and from the
West India islands on the south.
There is a farther decrease in the circulation of the
Bank of England for the week to Saturday last, of not
far short of 100,000/. Even this, however, is an insig-
nificant amount upon an issue of 27,400,3951 The
gold bullion to the issue department has been lessened
by 85,502 L, but in the banking department the gold
and silver coin has been increased to 174,463/. The

182,774/, and the general deposits less by 416,935/.

ENTERTAINMENT TO MR. JUS-
TICE ERLE.
On Friday evening a banquet was given at the Albion,
Aldersgate-street, by the Western Circuit, to Mr. Justice
Erle, on his elevation to the bench. A most sumptuous
entertainment was provided on the occasion by Messrs.
Staples. Mr. Rogers, the leader of the circuit, was in
the chair, and was supported not only by the present
members of the circuit, but in addition the body were
rejoined by Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Sergeant Merewe-
ther, Sir John Audrey, W. Hayter, Esq., M.P., and
others, who having some time left the circuit, were
anxious to express their concurrence in the unanimous
feeling which had prompted this token of respect to their
distinguished guest. The party were also joined by Sir
Frederick Thesiger, as representing the Attorney-Ge-
neral, Sir W. Follett, who was also a member of the
Western Circuit.
After due justice had been done to every delicacy
which the accustomed efforts of the proprietors of the
Albion could provide, and the usual loyal toasts had been
duly honoured,
The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Health of Mr. Justice
Erle."
The company, by their long continued acclansations,
indicated how much they concurred in the sentiments
expressed by the chairman.
Mr. Justice ERLE, in returning thanks for the hearty
reception and princely entertainment he had received,
begged to add that he accepted the kindness of his
Jrienda around him not more for the hearty goodwill
which their applause indicated than for the satisfaction
which their applause expressed of his conduct during the
years which he had spent in intimate connexion with the I
members of the Western Circuit. The maintenance of
the high character of the bar was essential to its posi-
tion, and the expression of kind feeling which he had ,
received he hoped might be taken as an approval on the
part of those with whom he had so long associated that
his efforts had been directed to that end.
" The Health of the Attorney and Solicitor Generals"
followed, for which
Sir F. TRESIGER returned thanks ; and the evening
was concluded with the most perfect concurrence of a
large body of the bar in a sentiment expressed by the
Solicitor-General, that " the only credit due to the
Government was, that they had selected the best man."

MIDDLE TEMPLE, Nov. 15.—Mr. C. 11. White-
hurst, recently appointed one of her Majesty's Council,
took his seat this day, as a Benchcr of the llon. Society
of the Middle Temple.
INCREASE OF PAUPERISM.—SinCe Thursday last,
not less than seventy-seven persons have been admitted
into the workhouse of Banbury Union ; and we believe
we are not mistaken when we state that an equal num-
ber are ready to present themselves for a like purpose.
Of the seventy-seven, forty-one are from the parish of
Bloxharn, and they entered together on Friday last, pass-
ing through our town in a melancholy procession.—Ban-
bury Guardian.
