and that there were many other cases of a similar description
which could be brought against tliem.
RAWUNSON said that he could do nothing in the ab-
sence of the clergyman ; in the event of his Lttending he
would, perhaps, be able to interfere. •
Q UEEN-SQ UA RE.
FRAUDS ON TRADESMEN BY A SEnvANT.—Testerday Re-
becca Larkman, a servant girl, was finally examined before
Mr. Bond, charged with defrauding a great number of trades-
men.
Prisoner lived fora short time in the service of Mrs. Coward,
of Sloane-street, but, in consequence of repeated acts of dis-
honesty, was discharged about the end of June last, since
which•period she has been to the shops of the various trades-
-men who were in the habit of supplying the family, and ob-
tained goods to a considerable amount in the name of her
former mistress.

north of the line, which was not only of .individual import-
ance to his client, but of great benefit to the public, as it
would afford a means of access to upwards of eighty acres of
land in the occupation of many individuals who otherwise
would have been shut out from it, in con,equence of the
old approaches being cut off by the intended line of railway.
He (the solicitor) had now only to say that he abandoned
the charge against the Company on the part of his client,
and he thought it necessary to come forward and state this
publicly, as they had been suing for a penalty as well as
damage.
Mr. euvE said he was glad the matter was satisfactorily
arranged, and remarked that the case was illustrative of the
utility of the clause under which proceedings had been taken.
ANOTHER CHARGE OF TRESPASS AGAINST THE RICHMOND
RAILWAY COMPANY.—Soon after the last case had been dis-
posed of, Mr. Wright, an attorney, with his client, Mr. Beckett,
made application to Mr. Clive for a summons against the
promoters of the Richmond Railway Company, under circum-
stances similar to those in the preceding case.
Mr. Wright stated that his client, Mr. Beckett, who is a
saddler, living in the High-street, Wandsworth, was the
owner of half an acre of land, adjoining that in the occupa-
tion of Mr. Atkins, and on Monday, the 6th inst., the Com-
pany entered upon and took possession of it, without having
come to any terms, or obtained the consent of the owner.
The piece of land they had taken was about 108 yards in
length, and 40 in breadth, and a portion of it formed part of
a rope-walk. Since the company had had possession forty
willow trees had been felled.

Benjamin Adams, shopman to Mr. Gregory. an iron-
monger, in Sloane-street, proved that the prisoner obtained
goods on two occasions by representing that she had been
sent by Mrs. Coward, her mistress. On the first of these,
she asked for a set of fire-irons and other trifling articles,
value 11. 95., which were supplied to her in haste, as she
said that they were waiting for them with the gig, in order
to take them to the country house. In a few days after-
wards she was supplied with a valuable tea-urn and a bed-
room candlestick, which the shopman offered to send home,
but she insisted upon taking them herself, observing "that
if she did not, her mistress would consider her lazy."
Mr. J. H. Keats;tof 142, Sloane-street, said the prisoner
came on the 30th of September to his shop, and said that as
it was the birth-day of one of Mrs. Coward's daughters, that
lady (her mistress) was desirous of presenting her with a
handsome Bible and Prayer-bosk in a case. The books were
supplied, and on prisoner's return in a quarter of an hour fur
similar books in different coloured binding, these were also
given to her.
Mrs. Coward having asserted that she had never given the
prisoner any authority to obtain the above, or any other
articles, the prisoner was fully committed for trial on both
charges.

Mr. CLIVE asked if the owner or his solicitor had applied
to the Company for a settlement? Mr. Wright answered in
the affirmative. They had asked 205?., and the Company
had offered 501. as compensation, which his client of course
refused to take.

Mr. CLIVE—Have you applied to them since the corn-
plainant in the last case took his summons out ? Mr.
Wright—No, I have not, Sir.
Mr. CLivE—l should think it very probable that if you
were to see them now they would come to terms, as in the

previous case. Perhaps you had better see the secretary be-
fore the summons is issued.
Mr. Wright said the terms offered by the company were
so low, that he despaired of coming to any amicable arrange-
ment, and would, therefore, with the magistrate's permission,
take a summons out.

THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON
The following have been forwarded to us as copies of Mr.
Corry's letter to the Surveyor of the Navy, and Sir S. Pym's
report of the performances of the several ships of the expelri
mental squadron in the last trial cruise :
" Admiralty, Oct. 13, 1845.
"To THE SURVEYOR OF THE NAVY,— _ _

" Sir,—Herewith you will receive a copy of a letter from
Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, dated the 10th inst., report-
ing the return of the experimental squadron of line-of-battle
ships to Plymouth, and the result of their trial.—By com-
mand of their Lordships, " H. CORRY,"
" St. Vincent, in Plymouth-sound, Oct. 10, 1845.
" Sir,—l have the honour to forward to you, for the in-
formation of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the
diagrams of the trials of sailing of her Majesty's squadrob
under my command, and other documents mentioned in the
enclosed schedule. In addition to which, a good trial was
commenced on the Ist inst. by the Queen, Canopus, Albion,
and Vanguard, in chase of the Daring, under all plain sail,
and part topmast and topgallant studding-sails ; but the fog,
which came on three hours after, prevented angles being
taken to ascertain the exact result. The Queen, however,
gained on her.
"‘ You will be pleased to acquaint their Lordships that we
have had some splendid trials with as heavy a press of sail as
could well be carried. One beginning with close-reefed top-
sails and reefed courses, topgallant masts struck; the next
under treble-reefed topsails, and another under double-reefed
topsails ; and all these against a heavy head sea.
"'ln the latter, on the 7th inst., the day after the heaviest
gale, the Rodney beat the whole fleet.
" ' Nothing could be more easy in all the trials than the
Queen and Albion, who never appeared to strain anything;
indeed, all the squadron proved themselves such fine ships as
to to incapable of being cistressed by press of sail, except the
St. Vincent.

" Bang perfectly satisfied with the result of the trials,
that the Queen is the best ship, the Albion and Rodney next,
Canopus and Vanguard much alike, Trafalgar weatherly,
but slow; St. Vincent leewardly and crank ; and—as the
weather appeared to set in fine, and not deeming that any
further trial would benefit the service, I therefore bore up on
the 9th inst. for this anchorage, which I reached with the
squadron under my command this day, at 7 15 P.M.
" I beg to remark, for their Lordship's information, that
all the captains deserve the greatest credit for the seaman-
like manner in which they made sail, blowing in the way it
did, on the above mentioned occasion.—l have, &c.,
" S. PYM, Rear -Admiral.
" To the Right Hon. Henry T. L. Corry, M.P."

THE STAMP-OFFICE AND THE

NEWSPAPER PRESS.

A system of mean, petty. and vexatious extortion has
just been commenced by the Stamp-office authorities against
the newspaper press in Scotland. We had heard rumours
of this privately from some of our contemporaries, but
we were certainly not aware of the extent to which
it was about to be carried. The conductors of the
financial department of the Citizen have just informed
us that we have been charged for the month of August
no fewer than twenty " duties" more than the actual number
of advertisements which have appeared in our columns
during the time specified. On calling at the Stamp-office
here for an explanation, our manager was informed that
the exactions of which he complained originated with
certain functionaries in Edinburgh, and that a system of in-
creased rigour had been commenced in the perusal of adver-
tisements and paragraphs with a view to the detection of
what are called " separate interests." In this way, adver-
tisements which formerly only paid a single duty. are
mulcted in two or three duties. For example, a teacher
announces at the foot of his advertisement that be has ac-
commodation for two or three boarders, this is charged an
additional duty ;—a steam-boat announcement contains,
perhaps, an allusion to an " excellent hotel," or to " an om-
nibus for conveying passengers," and in both the hotel and
.the omnibus the lynx-eyed officials profess to descry "se-
parate interests," and lay claim to an additional eighteen-
pence
pence fur each ! But more than this, they have theimpu-
dence to interfere with our duty as public chroniclers, and to
levy an unwarranted tax on paragraphs of ordinary news,
provided only it contain any intimation whereby they allege
private interests may be benefited. Critiques on pictures
exhibited at a publisher's gallery, announcements of
early fruit at any particular shop. and many other
matters which, in common with our contemporaries, we have
been accustomed to insert, merely as pieces of news, and as
likely to interest the reader, have been suddenly discovered
to be advertisements, and charged by the Stamp-office
officials accordingly ! Now, where is this interference to
stop? Notices of new books, of new music, of rapid loco-
motion by some particular conveyance, of surgical skill or
acts of humanity in cases of accident, of interesting and
useful inventions, of high and honourable conduct on the
part of individuals—all may be set down on the same principle
as advertisements. Are u e to write with the fear of the Stamp-
office continually before our eyes ? In many cases contracts
have been formed to insert advertisements for a lengthened
period at a fixed charge, and in which it is gross injustice to
mulct them suddenly and without warning in several duties.
We trust that the newspaper proprietors throughout the
country will unite together in remonstrating strongly and
firmly against the grievance in question, and in endeavouring
to check, at the outset, a system which, if persisted in, must
prove a source of continual annoyance, as well as of frequent
injustice, to the newspaper press.—Citizen.
[We can add our testimony to the account given by our
contemporary of the meanness of the Edinburgh Stamp-office
—a meanness which we believe to be illegal. We know for
certain that the London Stamp-office makes no such de-
mands upon the metropolitan journals; and the first time
that we are again exposed to the annoyance and grievance
complained of, we shall lay a case for the decision of the
Government.]—ED. Glasgow Angus.

THE MASTER PASSION.—The rt.,.utation of Mr.
Colley Grattan, the popular antl.tt of • Highways and By-
ways," and " The Heiress of Bruges," as a writer of highly
entertaining narratives, cannot but be greatly extended by
the publication of the last and best collection of his tales,
under the title of " THE MASTER PASSION," a three-volumed
work, which has just issued from the press. To those who
desire what is seasonable, we should recommend the author's
"Recollections of the West Summer." Without wishing to
be thought satirical, we may add, that such as feel any
interest in the proceedings of rampant Orangemen, or furious
Repeaters, may, perhaps, find amusement in his "Sketches
of Irish Tools." For the sentimental, there is " The Love
Draught ;" for the admirer of the picturesque, " The Pilgrim
of Mont Blanc," and "The Caves of Groenendel ;" for the
studious, " The Philosopher of the Odenwald; " for the
military enthusiast, " The Hero of Waterloo • " and for the
lover of the sapernatuatural, "The Curate Confessor." Be-
sides these admirable stories, the work contains several
others, which will amply repay the reader's perusal. Indeed,
that large class who read for amusement cannot find more
agreeable materials than are furnished for them by the lively
pen of Mr. Grattan in " THE MASTER ELisiox."

There were marks of external vio!ence, and the deceased had

PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold ut Paris
is Ili per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s.
100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 44 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25 55, it follows that gold is 0.43 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of
gold is 432 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 8i ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on Loudon at
short being 13 9, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh.

After the disposal of the night charges, a solicitor, whose
name did not transpire, attended at the Court, and made
known to Mr. Rawlinson the following particulars, with re-
gard to what he looked upon as a swindling transaction:—
He stated, that two or three months ago an advertise-
ment appeared in the Globe, which ran thus—" Noblemen
and gentlemen, clergymen, ;officers on full. pay with good
expectations, heirs to entailed estates, &c., can be accom-
modate lon their personal security.. with loans of not less
than 1001., or more than 5,000/. Address, p.p., in writing
only, to Messrs. Young, 69, Mortiiner-street, Cavendish-
square. Na personal application whatever will be at-
tended to."
Applicant set forth that the advertisement in question
attracted the notice of a clergyman in Yorkshire, whose
name he should not wish to mention, and that he applied
for a loan of one hundred pounds. At length, after various
letters which had passed to and fro as to his respectability,
and the certainty of re-payment, he accepted a bill at three
months' date for 1501., and he returned the same, addressed
to 'Messrs. ouno and Co. The applicant said that the money

FOURTH REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS ON

THE FINE ARTS.
• TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
We, the Commissioners appointed by your Majesty for the
purpose of inquiring whether advantage might not be taken
of the rebuilding of your Majesty's Palace at Westminster,
wherein your Majesty's Parliament is wont to assemble, for
the purpose of promoting and encouraging the fine arts in
your Majesty's United Kingdom, and in what manner an
object of so much importance might be most effectually pro-
moted, humbly report to your Majesty that we hive at various
times taken into our consideration a letter, dated the 17th of
August, 1843, addressed to us by the Right Hon. Sir Robert
Peel, Bart., respecting public monuments in sculpture and
pai3ting to men distinguished for eminent literary, scientific,
and civil services, and we now beg to report our opinion un
the points which appeared first to require our attention.
Referring to the letter in question, we have humbly to state
to your Majesty, that, having consulted the architect, and
inspected the edifice in progress intended for the accommo-
dation of the Houses of Parliament, we are of opinion that
there are various portions of that edifice which could with
propriety and advantage be allotted to the reception of mo-;
numentg, such as those to wnich our attention has been
directed.

We have found in the course of our inquiry that many
situations for statues consist of niches only, which, in accord-
ance
with the sty:e of Gothic architecture adopted, are uni-
formly narrow, not exceeding two feet in width ; that there
are also situations were insulated statues might be fitly
placed ; and we conceive that, with a view both to conve-
nient inspection, and the expediency of affording opportuni
ties for displaying the abilitiei of the artists, the last-named
situations-are the most important.
We have also found that some situations, though not fit for
the display of statues, would be well adapted for the reception
of busts; and we are of opinion that busts might be consi-
dered among the means, before referred to, of doing honour
to eminent men.
With respect to monuments in pitinting of the description
indicated, whether such monuments be understood to refer
to portraits, or to other representations, we beg leave to post-
pone our report till the building shall be more advanced.
With regard to the particular classes of eminent men re-
ferred to in the said letter, we are not at present prepared to
express an opinion on the question, whether it would be ad-
visable that any distinct portions of the building should be
set apart for such classes.
We are now prepared to point out some portions of the
building which we conceive might, with propriety, be adorned
with insulated statues; but looking to the fact that, since
this Commission was appointed, certain changes have taken
place in the architect's design, involving alterations in the
extent available for decorations in sculpture as well as
painting, we do not think it expedient on this occasion to
enumerate all the localities which may possibly be adapted
for such statues.
Having thus explained with what views, and to what ex-
tent, we are at preent prepared to report to your Majesty
on the subjects recommended to our consideration in the
letter before referred to, we have now to express our opinion
that six insulated marble statues might be conveniently
placed in St. Stephen's parch, and that sixteen such statues
might be conveniently placed in St. Stephen's Hall. We
are of opinion that it is net desirable that a corresponding
number of eminent names be now pointed out with a view
to the entire occupation of those places ;, but we are at once
prepared to recommend that statues of Marlborough and
Nelson be placed in St. Stephen's porch ; and that statues
of Selden, Hampden, Lord Falkland, Lord Clarendon, Lord
Somers, Sir Robert Walpole, Lord Chatham, Lord Mans-
field, Burke, Fox, Pitt, and Grattan, be placed in St. Ste-
phen's Hall.
We have further to prop-se that Vie following three
artists, viz., William Calder Marshall, John Bell, and John
Henry Foley, whose works in the last exhibition in West-
minster Hall were considered by us to be entitled to special
commendation, be at once commissioned to prepare models
for three of the aforesaid statues, viz., the statues cf
Hampden, Lord Falkland, and Lord Clarendon ; and that
the execution of such statues be allotted to the said artists
respectively, as we may hereafter decide.
We have further to propose that 2,0001. of public money be
granted on account towards the payment of such works; and
we humbly request the sanction of your Majesty to our pre-
sent report.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE, WITH LIST OF DISTINGUISHED PER.
SONS TO WHOSE MEMORY STATUES MIGHT BE ERECTED.

Your Committee appointed to " prepare a general list of
distinguished persons of the United Kingdom, to whose
memory statues might with propriety be erected in or ad-
joining the new Houses of Parliament, such list oeing unre-
stricted as to the number of such distinguished persons, and
as to the time in which they lived," have the honour to
submit two lists; the first (A), of names to which they
agreed unanimously; the second (B), of names on which
your Committee were not unanimous, but decided by greater
or smaller majorities.
The aggregate of these two lists consists of 121 names,
which may probably afford scope, not for indiscriminate adop-
tion, but rather for choice and selection on the part of the
Commission at large.
At the same time your Committee desire to express their
unanimous opinion, that the attempt to execute any great
number of these statues simultaneously would. not be con-
ducive to the interests of art.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE RESPECTING SELECTION OF
PERSONS WHOSE EFFIGIES MIGHT BE PLACED IN THE

NICHES IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

The selection of the statues for the eighteen niches ,in the
House of Lords, which has now been referred to your Com-
mittee, does hot appear to them altogether so free and with
so wide a scope as the selection of the ninety-six figures on
painted glass, upon which they lately reported. In this
case the very narrow size of the niches, and their gothic
form, seem to limit the choice of the Commission to charac-
ters drawn from the feudal age, and, as usual, with effigies of
that period, presenting little or no variety of attitude.
On a careful consideration of the characters which might
be chosen, subject to this condition, your Committee have
become convinced that no scheme is preferable to that which
was first suggested to the Commission by his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, namely, to fill the niches with the
effigies of the principal Barons who signed Magna Charta.
Your Coinmittee subjoin a list of the names which they
would recommend for this purpose. They conceive that the
difference of character, as laymen or as prelates would
afford a picturesque variety of attire, and that the historical
analogy would be most suitably attained by placing side by
side in the same House of the Legislature, in windows or in
niches, the successive holders of sovereign power, and the
first founders of constitutional freedom.
