LORD HILL'S RESIGNATION.
GENERAL ORDER.
" Horse Guards, Aug. 15, 1842.
" General Lord Hill finds it necessary to resign the
command of the army on account of his Lordship's
present state of health, and her Majesty has been
graciously pleased to accept his Lordship's resignation.
When Lord Hill assumed the command which he
now resigns, he expressed, in General Orders, his
confident hope, that from the General and other Offi-
cers, as well as from the Public Departments of the
Army, he would receive that support which should
enable him to fulfil the important trust reposed in him.

" That hope has not been disappointed, but, on the
contrary, realised beyond Lord hill's must sanguine
expectation.
" The conduct of the troops has, both in the field
and in quarters, furnished, during Lord Hill's com-
mand of them, an example of discipline, regularity,
and: general efficiency, not to be surpassed, and the
officers have by their devotion to their duty enabled
his Lordship to maintain the army in that creditable
state. The officers' have, therefore, established their
claim to Lord Hill's lasting gratitude andesteem.
" His Lordship cannot, then, but with painful feel-
ings take leave of officers, non-commissioned officers,
and soldiers, whose conduct has been so uniformly ap-
proved by their Sovereign, and by their country.
" Them feelings are, however, greatly alleviated and
consoled by the reflection, that the command of the
army is, now, to be resumed by the Duke .of Wel-
lington, the ever vigilant and mostinfluential guardian
of its interests, and whose achievements have raised
its character to the highest pinnacle of glory. •
" By comman 1 of the Right Hon.
Gen. Lord HILL Commanding-in-Chief.
" JOHN MACDO.TALD, Adjutant-Gen."

which contained the most pveitthe and in in-

IMPORTANT .TUDGNIENT.---E PARTE BAILEY IN RE
FARMES, A EANKRUPT.
Tn this case, there being 'a surplus' of the bank-
rupt's estate. after. paying 205., in, the pound, a Ties-
tion arose as to the correct mode.of calculating the
interest, under the 132 d section of 6th of George IV.,
c. 16, by which the bankrupt is not to receive the
surplus until all the creditors have received interest
upon their debts, to be calculated from the date of the
commission. When this
Point first camebefore'me,
said the Learned Commissi
oPer I considered that I
' was bound by the case of ex' parte Higginbotham, by
which it was decided that the interest was.to be calcu-
lated thilinterest upon 1001. (sum insured) till the
first dividend, then deduct~ your dividend from the
principal, and calCulate upon the 'balance till another
dividend; then again deduct the . dividend, and so On.
In consequence, however, of a recent decision by Lord
Chancellor Cottenham in Bower r. Maris, the rule, as
laid down in ex parte Higginbotham has been qUes-
tioned,_ and_ it is .contended, upon the authority of
the case; of Bower t,. Maxis, that the 'amount is- to be'
Calculated by applying the amount of dividends from
time to -time received, in discharge of the interest then
due, and the surplus, if any, in 'discharging pro tanto
of the principal. If the case of Bower r: Maris had
been a case in bankruptcy, there can be no doubt but
than it would have been conclusive of the present.
The case-of Bower r. Maris has caused the matter to
be re-argued before-me. Mr. Homily was the Coun-
sel for the assignees, and Mr. Bayley in person. Mr.
Homily contended that the mode Of computation
pointed out in Bower v. Maris is not applicable in
bankruptcy, as between a bankrupt and h:s creditors,
and that the administration of assets in Chancery
is different from what it is ,in bankruptcy—that
the - administration of assets in Chancery de-
pends upon certain rules originally drawn
from from the civil law, whilst the :administration
of assets in bankruptcy depends upon' the .statute=
and that although it is evident from the observations
of the Lord Chancellor in Bower r. Mari, that his
Lordship did not approve of the decision in;ex parte
Higginbotham, still Mr. Romilly urged that ex parte
.Higginbotham must be the ruling case in bankruptcy;
and that what the Lord Chancellor said in Bower v.
Maris must be taken as dicta, not necessary for the
decision of the principal- case. Now the case of
Bower v. Maris was this—one of two joint and
several obligors becomes bankrupt, and against his
estate the obligee .proves the principal and a small
arrear of interest due at the'date of the commission
and in the course of many years receives upon
different dividends 20s. in the pound upon the debt
so proved, and afterwards, under a decree 'for the
administration of the estate 'of the co-obligor,
claims payment of what ' he has not received
from the estate' of the bankrupt, and inserts
that the amount is to be calculated' by applying the
amount of dividends' from time to time received in
discharge of the interest then due, and the surplus, if
any, in discharge, pro tanto, of the principal. Lord
Cottenham held that that was the correct mode of
calculation, and I 'cannot distinguish the case of
Bower v. laris from the present ; for, although the
question as to the mode of appropriating the dividends
under the bankruptcy came under consideration under
a decree for the administration of the assets of the
co-obligor, and not in a case as between the bank-
rupt and his creditors, it was not the less a question
of the effect of the payment of the dividends under
the estate of the bankrupt. obligor, and I. do not
think a bankrupt, in the event 'of a surplus, is to be
in a better situation 'by the dividends paid under the
estate, than the co-obligor. 'Lord Cottenham con-
sidered that the effect of the payment of dividends
from time to time under the bankrupt's estate must
be the same against the co-obligor as if made by a
solvent obligor, and I think the effect must be the
same against the bankrupt in respect of the surplus ;
the surplus, after full satisfaction, and not till then,
belongs to the bankrupt. The fund belongs to
the creditors, and until the 'creditors are fully
paid and satisfied, in natural justice they have a
right to retain it against . any claim the bank-
rupt may set up. The Learned Commissioner
here referred to the observations of Lord Eldon,
in ex parte Mills, as bearing upon the subject, and
then continued to say—lf, in the event of
a surplus, the
dividends from time to time paid, are to he appro-
priated to the payment of 3o much of the principal, and
no part of it to the accruing intvest, they should not
be carrying out the principle upon which the Bank-
rupt laws are to be construed—namely, for the benefit
'of creditors, and not of the bankrupt. I thinli, there-•
fore, in order to give the creditors full satis ction, as
soon as it appears there is. a surplus, - that dividends
received should be treated
as' ordinary payments on
account, in the manner laid doWn in Bower 'r. Maris,
fa
that is, by applying each dividend, in the first OM
to the payment of the interest dqe, tit the 4Rtp c)f
such dividend, and the ggrplua, if ply., in roduction of
the principal,

George Hammond, police-sergeant 2 M, proved
the case. The bill was stuck on the shutter of the
defendant's shop, about twenty inches from the
ground. The bill was there last night, and at two

political character. He did'nt see any harm in it, as
no obstruction or riot arose out of it.

Mr. JARDINE said as 'the defendant 'did not appear

him (Mr. Jardine) to be mischievous and illegal, he
must find bail to answer the criminal charge ; but if

-MELANCHOLY SticiDE.—An itigtiest was held last
week at Sion House' Birchanger, the seat of W. Willun,
Esq., before C. C. Lewis, Esq:, Coroner, on the body
Ilf Elisa Norton, housemaid in Mr. Willan's establish-
ment. It was alleged that an'.iinProper intimacy hull
taken place between her and a person of apparent re-
spectability, residing with the curate of the parish, and
she having received intimation of her discharge from
Mrs. Willan''s service, the prospect of ruin from her lost
Phameter induced her to commit suicide, as she was found
hanging lifeless from her bedstead. Evidence having
been adduced as to the discovery of the deceased hanging
in a lifeless state„ Afr. William Willan, of Birchanger,
deposed—" Deeeased cailic into my service about five
weeks since ; but havin:x been from home I had not seen
her. Oh Saturday morning my housekeeper informed me
that she was a character she did not like, and she had
heard many unpleasant stories of her ; that she had ab-
sented herself from church on the evening of the 17th, and
had ilee.o with a gentleman who lives with the curate of
the parish. In consequence of this I sent for her, anti
told her she could not expect to •remain in my house. I
then told the housekeeper to pay her what was due, and
to behave liberally to her ; in the course of a few
minutes I hied a violent scream ; on leaving my roont
met the housekeeper, who told me deceased was dead."
Three letters were produced, two of which were from
Mr. Bowker, resident at the curate's, to the deceased,
but bearing the address " lone Smith," and the other
was from her to him, ',egging him to see Mr. Willan's
housekoepr-, and endeavour to persuade her that there
was no foundation for the rumours concerning them. A
verdict of fele de se was returned, and the coroner issued
his warrant for the interment of the remains of the Un-
fortunate girl without the rites of Christian' burial.-.-

Wivve ANOcELS iaos'T Do.—A vagrant called at a
house one Sunday, and begged for some cider. The

go about drinking cider on Sundays I"

For some time past it has been in contemplation to
repair the sewer which runs under the causeway at
the end of the Fleet ditch,. on Ahe west side of the
bridge, and which reaches as far as low water mark
into the, river, opposite to the second arch from the
city side ; and, in order that the works should not be
interrupted by the passing o 1 craft under the arch,
the usual warning (a burich 'of straw) has been
suFpended from the parapet over the centre of the
arch for two or three days past, preparatory to the
commencement of the work. This wisp was fas-
tened to the gas pipe which runs along the parapet on
either side of the bridge, and which is of great thick-
neSi:.: About ten o'clock on Monday night the Dart
(Bichmond steam-boat) was' making her way
.to
London-bridge, and having paSsengers to land at
Blackfriar's pier, on the east side; passed under .the
prohibited arch, the Captain not being able to see the
caution. It was at this time about high-water, and the
wisp was swinging about midway between the crown
of the arch and the water, and although the funnel
was lowered as usual, it got entangled with the rope
to which the straw was attached, and so firmly did it
take hold, that about twenty; yards of the pipe were
pulled down, a portion of which 'fell upon the after-
part of the vessel. Mr. James Tooth, a stockbroker,
living at I,Charterhouse-lane,
,was, standing close to
the hatchway at the time, talking to his wife, and a
large,pieseaar, the pipe .descending eilgeways, struck
him on the back, a little below the base of the neck,
with such tremendous force as to break his back, be-
sides several of his ribs. The unfortunate gentleman
was taken ashore, and Mr. Holding, of Bridge-street,
was immediately sent for, and accompanied Mr. Tooth
to his residence, and, with other medical gentlemen,
did all that could he done to alleviate his suffer-
ings ; but we are sorry to learn upon inquiry
that there is not theslightest hope of his life being
saved, so dreadful are the injuries he has received.
Mrs. Tooth had a very narrow escape, a piece of
pipe striking her bonnet as it fell. A young woman,
named Timms, was also much hurt ; but not danger-
ously. All the passengers were landed at the pier, and
a cry was raised that the vessel was sinking.
examination it was found that a portion of the, pipe
had forced itself completely through the bottr.in oldie
boat, and she was fast filling. She wra then towed
opposite to Mr. Beard's wharf; where she almost im-
mediately sank. Various have Len the opinions ex-
pressed on the subject, some asserting that a light
should have been suspended after dark, others that
the master of the boat, having seen the mark in the
course of the ,day, ought not to have passed under
the arch ; and some say that the gas-pipe was not a
proper place to suspend it from; but whatever may
have been the neglect on the one part or the other, it is
likely to cause considerable differences between the
boat and gas companies and the city authorities.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
Of course, in the present state of the town, there
was but little business done oh the Exchange yes-
terday ; the spinners and manufacturers being un-
willing, or, from want of stock, unable, to make sales.
What business was done was at higher rates for both
goods and yarn ; but the prices were so exceedingly
irregular, that any attempt to specify the amount of
advance would tend only to mislead.

INCOME-TAX ASSESSORS,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

August 17, 1842.
Six —I reside in the parish of St. Mary Newing-
ton, and this day, the 17th of August, the Income-
ta,x assessor left the blank forms at my house to be
filled up by me, and returned to, him within twenty
dates of the day on which they are dated by him. On
turning to the date, judge of my astonishment at
finding them dated the Ist of August; so that
th;Ough the gross neglect, or something worse,
of - this official, I have only three days in
which to make my return, instead of twenty, as
allowed by law. .Persons neglecting, to make tiaeir
returns within -twenty (lays are liable a 201.

:1 it be pos-
sible that orders have Win` given to the un-
derlings to delay the d'' Avery of these papers,
in order to putrup theunwary ; or is it that,
knon,iug..t,tie to the favour of a Tory Ministry
pi* ihrtug".Ene dirt, the underling himself has, upon
1118...10ni responsibility, adopted this plan of recom-
-111/4e ding himself to the honest Premier, doing this
..-nest to make this, Sir Robert's pet imposition, trebly
productive ? 'Whatever be the cause, the public ought
to b warned to look at the date of these notices, in
order to save themselves from the victimization of the
tax-gatherers. 10 these gentlemen get any per
centage on penalties and surcharges'

A RARE Btan.—Last- week a specimen of the
White-bellied Swift (Cypsilus Alpinis) flew on board a
coasting vessel, a few miles to the westward of Land's
End, and was secured by the crew. It is now in the
possession of Mr. Clement Jackson, of Looe, who has
stuffed and added it to his valuable collection. So rare
is the White-bellied Swift, as an occasional visitant, that
this appears to be the sixth, specimen only recorded as
found in the United Kingdom.—Falmouth Packet.

Avery good speaker, and for a great political pur-
pose, is no-novelty in IPswielt, We have had 'many
for the last few years, but 'these were speakers of the
.silver fork school.. They addressed themselves gene-
rally, to the denizens of the • drawing-room ; they
buzzed, bowed, and are. forgotten. Mr. Vincent
addresses himself to the denizens of a locality ahoy?
the drawing-room, but not superior to it—the
tient and long suffering dwellers, in the tithes.
The 'residents in `‘ the parlour nest thi: sky."
are those whom he principally seeks to intezek,
and inoculate with his principles. flow„,tAt 11N
has sueceeded there is no sun::. tact for/ascer,
taining, but he has touched a string whiA vibrateti.
in a -thousand bosoms. • His splerv;td declama-
tion has caught the popular ear, b... 5• scathing de-
nunciations of the aristocracy ; has tickled tir
popular vanity, and his feats and passinwite
appeals to excited feelinfe_,.- has rendered hint
in a few days almost om's_dpotent for the purposes of
the election.
The imprisonmeA. of Mr. Vincent for twelve
months in the R1'..0l of Dorset for spoken sedition, has.
made him roie cautious in the scope and tendency
of his pre.Ant appeals. Mr. O'Connell himself, wiik
a host 4 practical grievanceS, does not more earnestly
de:itiunce " physical force" than Mr. Vincent A
rather close and reluctant musing for twelve me nth..i,
on the subject, in, a gaol, has made him more clri,ry of
such recommendation, and more convinced of its
danger and impracticability. He has cony,. out it.
changed man, and is now,. with a hankering •after ph
sisal violence, the simple assertor of moral force,. His
daily outpourings, therefore, may justly be carted his
" prison thoughts." He rails at the To-,;ies -•in good
set terms--he mutes them with the p4wer'of thought
-,—but will not suffer , a hair of their •• heads to be
touched. He • may point out a pak ef long ears on
some of the noodles of the party, but he will counsel.
no man "to nail them to the rArnp." " The preient;
order of things," is what he.,eannot relish, but he will(
not 'counsel the pulling doWn of an old wall by w sy
of improvement or. renovation. Mr. Vincent, thf-
fore, takes his place in the-van of the march e n-
teliod. He is so far safe,/perhaps practicable, and as.
one •of 'the heads on *a( hustings, deserving, of sueli
celebrity as this brier notice of his •necul ir A ties ea n_
confer upon hiro..-Abridged from the/pm,/ A Express:
