about them at variance with modern tactics, and leave the supe-
riority unquestionable. Repton, would, indeed be proud to acknow-

much of correct judgment mixed up with great taste, that it will not
dread a rival entering the controversial list. They are of consi-
derable extent and loveliness ; around them are very prolific
shrubberies and plantations, thickly clothed in all that art and na-
ture can bring to its aid ; hot and succession houses, and a melon

AN EAST INDIAN NABOB,

who has damaged his constitution a little in the pursuit of wealth,
will find this a r,al god send, the climate is so mild, so congenial,
that it infuses new powers, both of mind and body ; it gives fresh
vigour, and the East Indian invalid, who has returned in doubt as
to how long he may enjoy his fortune, may, by possessing Bar-
cumbe noose, count upon a prolonged lease for many years, and
a constitution entirely restored ; in tact, it iF now accounted in.

many of its charms will be overlooked, and therefore it is that Mr.
Robins prefers to solicit those who would repose in this beautiful
spot to go and seek occular demonstration. The villa stands upon
an elevated terrace, is defended from the southwesterly gales by a
highly beautiful and bold rock, which excludes also the north and
wintry winds ; the sea is only half a mile off, and the views which
are presented in such endless variety extend to the bold and pre-
cipitous cliff of Bury head, including Torbay in the opposite di-
rection. The landscape is varied by the rich vale, beautifully
wooded, with the parish church of Paington standing prominent in
the picture,then Torquay (which has left all its little compeers far
off) is seen, with its

SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS.

CHINA.—The Waterwich, arrived at Calcutta, brings
accounts from China a few days later. The Canton Press
of Jan. 1. says—" Nothing new from Canton. The Chinese
continue strengthening the fortifications of the town and
river, purchasing guns in great number. The British au-
thorities do not interfere. Canton letters of Dec. 31 de-
scribe commercial affairs at zero. The Vansittart left
on the 3d for Calcutta ; the Carleton, for London, on
the 30th of December; and the Earl of Belcaris on the
same day for Manilla. The Herbert Compton was to
leave for Bombay on the 15th January. Trade is para-
lysed by the want of a circulating medium. The ex-
change on London has advanced to ss. per dollar, and
on India to 225 rupees
.per 100 dollars for Government
bills. The China expedition is in want of money. The
Hong merchants consider as eventually certain our pos-
sessing this country, by gradual conquest, as with India.

mittee reported that the Hon. George Augustus
Frederic Villiers, commonly called Viscount Vil-
liers, and George William Hope, Esquire, had not
been duly elected at the last election to serve in
this present Parliament as Burgesses for the borough of
Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, but that Ralph Bernal,
Esq., and W. N. Christie, Esq., had been duly elected,
and ought to have been returned. The Committee fur-
ther reported that they had altered the poll taken at
such election, by striking off the name of John Bridle
and others, who had not had any right to vote at the
said election. The Report was then brought up, and
the Clerk of the Crown was ordered to attend to amend
the return.

The excessively high price of Sperm Oil is fast causing
the elegant Tr‘ble and other Lamps, made on the A rgand prin-
ciple; to be la:d aside. The ARGAND LAMP OM is con-
filently•offered to the public as a substitute for Spent') Oil, it
burns with a clear bright flame, without smoker:it-smell, di‘cs
not obstruct the tubes of the lamps more than the best Sperm
Oil, with the advantage that it does not chil with the co'd ;
it consumes much slower than Sperm or other Oils, conse-
quently is little more than one-third the expense of Sperm 0.1,
and for Solidi. Lamps has been proved, by cxrerience, to be
cheaper than common Oil, without the offensive smell.

Half a gallon or upwards will be sent to :ny part of Town,
as a trial of the advantage and economy of using the Argand
Lamp Oil. .

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
WIGAN.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The vote of Thomas Woods was retained.

Mr. HILDYAILD, for the sitting Member, proposed to
strike off .the vote of Thomas Malley, on the ground of
naisdescription on the register of the voter's qualification.
Mr. Ackerley, agent for the sitting Members, proved
that he objected to the voter before the Revising-Bar-
rister, on the ground that he was seeking to register out
of several holdings, neither of which, taken separately,
would be of sufficient value to confer the right of voting,
and that they could not be added together to give that
right.
In answer to Mr. AUSTIN, the witness said he did not
Object on the ground of their being an insufficient legal
description in the list given to the Barrister.
Mr. AUSTIN took the same objection in this case that
be : did on the last, namely, that the Committee
bad no right, by the 60th section of the Reform
Act, to adjudicate on any matter which might have
been, but was not, made ground of objection before the
Revising-Barrister.
Mr. HILATARD contended that in this case the matter
of fact determined by the Revising-Barrister also in-
volved the question of law, and that therefore it was com-
petent for the Committee to entertain the question of law.
The Committee decided as in the last case, and the
vote was retained.

These decisions reaching to all the voters included in
the class of objections under the consideration of the
Cominittee. Counsel for the sitting Members proposed to
enter upon the class of objections relating to questions of
value, and Mr. Harrison's vote was proposed to be struck
off; but the petitioners not being prepared with some ma-
terial evidence, the Committee adjourned till to-morrow.
Mr. Standish was still in a majority of one over Mr.
Crosse.

this morning.
At Liverpool, on Saturday, an action was brought by
the Phcenix Banking Company, of that town, to recover
large sum of money from the British Silver, Lead, and
Copper Mining Company. The case was not of an in-
terest to justify a statement of it in detail, but in the re-
sult twenty-one of the twenty-three defendants were
fixed with the liabilities of the Company, and a verdict
was returned against them, and those who had allowed
judgment to go by default, for 6,5981.

Nothing has occurred of importance. Dates to the

for reinforcements. The Cornwallis has sailed for the

Canton : very strong. All say this city must be soon

time.

BRITISH INDIA.

There have been some very serious disturbances
among the Madras regiments at Secunderabad, in the
Nizam's country, in consequence of the Court of Di-
rectors having ordered that the allowance of battu,
latterly granted, should be discontinued. The soldiers
of some of the best regiments refused to obey their
offiOrs, stating that it would be better not to be in the
service than to starve, or have their families starve, as
the allowances. granted on removing them 320 miles into
the Nizam's country were now refused. The mutiny has
been put down, and many of the soldier are now in
confinement. _ _

....
The other parts of India are comparatively tranquil,
but great excitement prevails in different quarters. The
inhabitants of Delhi and other towns in that direction
have begun to hide their money and jewels as if they
apprehended danger.
The Nepaulese
i seem occupied with their own affairs.
The winter seasoi! s not one of alarm or excitement
there. The, old King of Oude had made arrangements
for resigning the throne, but he has been disuaded by his
chief Minister from effecting his purpose. Some confu-
sion is expected in that country.
The Siekh expedition into Thibet has been routed,
and its leader, Zorawur Singh, slain. A treaty resem-
bling that of the Cabool Generals, was made with the
Chinese, who took the arms from the Sickhs, and then
allowed them to die of cold and starvation. A number
of men, under a leader named Bustee Ram, effected their
escape through the Byansee Pass, so as to reach Al-
morah. The leader and 130 men succeeded in obtain-
ing the protection of the British authorities there, and
have been since sent on to Loodianha. Forty of them
remained in the hospital. Numbers have perished.
The expedition of Tharawaddie to Rangoon has failed,
and he and his court have left that place. His troops
have lost 3,000 men by their works there, and they are
disappointed, for .411 their great hopes have failed. The
King of Siam is described as much alarmed lest Thara-
waddie should obtain arms and ammunition from the
English in order to attack his dominions.

Advices from Bombay to the Ist instmention that the
British troops, under a convention with Ukhbar Khan,
Chief of the rebels, quitted their encampment on the 6th of
Jan., and immediately after were engaged by the rebels,
their rear being first attacked. In the course of three or four
days, in which communications were carried on with the
Chief, and the ladies given up, as well as several officers
as hostages, the troops were fiercely engaged, the Chief
pretending that he could not restrain them. Finally
the sepoys succumbed, then her Majesty's 44th. All
ranks rushed towards Jellalabad, but only one European
reached that city.
Tie news from Jellalabad is more cheering. General
Sale's position had not been attacked. They have pro-
visions enough till April. Reinforcements are expected
to arrive in February.
Report says that the new Governor of India has ar-
rived.

CHINA.

The latest intelligence from China is to the 17th of
January. The British expedition there appears to be
waiting for the reinforcement from England and India.
Nevertheless, a sort of hybrid warfare was carried on.
The British Naval Commander at Hong Kong was con-
tinuing the seizure of the Chinese junks. The Chinese
at Canton were busy in making the defences of that river
as effective as possible. They had three Dutch engineers,
for whom they sent a junk to Java some months ago.
It is not stated if those engineers belong to the Dutch
army, although it is presumed that they do. Their
names are Van Scholte, Van Braam, and Van Schroek.
The Chinese Emperor is represented as incensed and
alarmed with the proceedings of the foreigners. Some
of the reports' from his lieutenants in the provinces he
had read " with fast falling tears. Great preparations
are stated to be made in the province of Pekin, which is
under his own imperial jurisdiction, to resist the invaders,
who are expected there.
Large forces were collected in the neighbourhood of
Ningpo, and as Sir Hugh Gough thought more troops
necessary in order to maintain that position, the Admiral
despatched a ship to take about 800 Europeans from
Hoag Kong. H. M. ship Cornwallis had proceeded from
Hong Kong to join the expedition. The Clio had arrived
at Macao.
In Amoy, on the 2d of January, and at Chusan on the
24th of December, the dates of the latest letters, all was
quiet
The steamer Madagascar has been destroyed by fire ;
the crew, having taken to the boats, landed on the
Chinese coast and have been saved by the interposition
of the Hong merchants. There was some alarm
respecting the two iron steamers, the Ariadne and Me-
dusa, but intelligence has arrived of their safety. The
ship Viscount Melbourne, Capt. M`Kerlie, was lost be-
tween Singapore and Macao. Some of the crew reached
Singapore, from whence an armed vessel has been sent
to Sambas in quest of the remainder, who are supposed
to have proceeded thither.
The postcript of a Bombay letter announces, that an
express had reached that town from Madras with the
news of the arrival of the frigate Cambrian, having on
board Lord Ellenborough, the new Governor-General.
There has been nothing astir wcrthy of notice since
the capture of Chusan and Chinghae. It is supposed to
be Captain Nias's intention to proceed up the river in tho
steamer merely to reconnoitre. Whatever his purpose
may be (they write from Macao, 17th January) his ap-
pearance will most certainly cause considerable alarm,
and thereby affect the market for imports as regards the
Chinese, whilst the English, acting also with the inten-
tion of covering their property at risk, will purchase teas
at higher rates than they would otherwise pay.
There is not much chance of the shipments of tea
falling off as long as the port remains open ; we have
sent home nineteen millions since July lst, and before.
February we shall get off about five or six more. This
is a Bm4ll supply compared with former years, but

QT. JAMES'S, IVET.MINSTER, April 4, 1842.
fi-1 At a SPECIAL MEETING of the VESTRY, held
this day, for the purpose of taking into consideration the pro-
po,ed INCOME TAX., the following Resolutions were unani-
inously adopted
That the prepo!ition to exact an Income Tax in the time of
peace h;s been stigmatised as monstrous and unconstitutional
by the highest authorities in the country, and was Never con-
sEered as any ether than a War Tax, which nothing but the
roost imminent danger to the State could justify ; and this
Vestry, therefore, pledges. itself to use all lawtul means to pre-
vent the imposition of such au inquisitorial tax.
That the Members for the City of 'Westminster and County
of Middlesex be earnestly requested to offer their strenuous op-
yosition to this obnoxious measure.
