A GAOL TO LET. •
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
POOLE, DEC. B.—Notwithstanding the multiplied
evils under which the community of this town, in
common with the country at large, are labouring,
through the depressed state of trade and commerce—
the great want of employment amongst the labouring
classes, and their consequently increased temptation
to crime—we possess a rare specimen of what can be
effected by the steady and judicious management of
a just, watchful, enlightened, and unflinching Magis-
tracy. We 'challenge all England to produce the
like, viz., a gaol in the midst of a population of 10,000
persons, formerly crowded with criminals, without a
single prisoner. Our learned Recorder, we hope, will
be presented at the next Quarter Sessions with a pair
of white gloves, as an emblem of the purity of our
morals, and that our municipal expenditure will be
reduced in the amount of salaries at present paid to
the gaoler, matron, and surgeon, whose offices are
but sinecures. And we look forward in the pleasing
anticipation, at no distant period, of seeing those
walls, which were intended to hold ih security those
criminals who had forfeited their liberty to the laws
of their country, converted into almshouses to afford
shelter for the destitute, honest, and deserving poor.
For this state of things we are indebted to those gen-
tlemen whom the Tories sneeringly call, and we are
proud to acknowledge, "Lord John Russell's Magis •
trates."

STOURDRIDGE—THE PREVAILING DISTRESS.—The
number of applicants at the Union Poor-house is in-
creasing every week; a number;; (amounting with
their families to 39 persons) were so relieved on Fri-
day last, and reported to the Commissioners, as re-
quired by article four of their instructions. Ther:
are at present upwards of 260 inmates in the house,
being ► the greatest number ever known. A great
probability exists of a large number of persons being
out of employ in this district during the coming
winter.— Worcester Chronicle

IN RE SLADE.

This was a petition presented under the Fine and
Recovery Act, requiring the consent of the Court to
become the protector of the petitioner. Certain pro-
perty had been devised to the petitioner, with remain-
der to other persons, but the husband of petitioner
having been convicted of felony, there was some doubt
whether the 24th section of the Act gave a jurisdiction
to the Court. The law made the Court of Chancery
the protector, in cases where the holder of property
was a lunatic, or had been guilty of treason or felony.
Husband and wife were joint protectors, and they had
not both been guilty of felony.
His HONOUR. thought there was sufficient autho-
rity in the Act to constitute the Court protector, in
cases where the person, who would otherwise be pro-
tector, was disqualified by attainder. He would,
however, read the Act before he decided the point.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

The Commissioners appointed to inspect the state
of the prisons in Gloucester met on Thursday in the
Temple to consider their Report. The prison at
Northleach has been inspected, and the windows
were found to be unglazed, the cells in winter damp,
and with only wooden shutters to keep out the wet
and cold. It is conjectured that the Report will re-
commend its discontinuance, as there is ample accom-
modation for the prisoners, usually committed here
from Cheltenham, in the county gaol of that place.

yesterday from the High Bailiff of Upsal, that during
the last week 'offences against against .the public se-
curity had taken place at Upsal, so that young stu-
dents had been attacked in the open streets after dark,
and beaten or stabbed ; that two persons had been ar-
rested on just grounds of suspicion, and the affair was
under 'examination. The Magistrates had been di-
rected immediately to take the most energetic means
to prevent the recurrence of such excesses. On those
reports-his Majesty ordered the Chancellor to send a
properly qualified person to attend the investigation.
BERLIN, OCT. 13.—The result of the discussions of

be made known in a few days by the publication of

sent Tariff will not be found to be so numerous and
so important as many persons, especially the great

SMITHFIELD.

The number of cattle offered for sale was plentiful,
hut the demand was not brisk, the prime quality only
being in demand. The best qualities of Mutton, Veal,
and Pork met a ready sale at an advance of from 2d.
to 4d. per stone. Beasts, 573 ; Sheep and Lambs,
4,750; Calves, 215 ; Pigs, 539. Beef, 3s. to 4s. 4d. ;

COLONIAL MARKETS.
There has been more disposition shown to purchase
British Plantation Sugar, and the market generally has
assumed more firmness. The business done amounts
to about 2,000 Mids. Small parcels of Dominica Mo-
lasses have been soli at 28s. 6(1. to 295., being, barely
previous prices. - Mauritius went off much better than
was anticipated, low greyish to fine yellow sold at
563 to 675., and very low to good brown at 435. 6d.
to 555. Gd. Bengal went off at rather lower rates for
inferior sorts, but good white Benares brought 635.
to 68s. Gd., low greyish•to fine yellow 575. to 625.,
low to good brown Khaur were taken in at 465.6 d. to 51s.
Ceylon Coffee 645. 6d. to 655. for very good ordinary
quality, being rather dearer; the remainder were
taken in above the value, viz., at 665.; Batavia, and
good ordinary brown Singapore and Java, at 395. to
395. 6d. Few transactions have taken place in Cocoa,
and consequently no alteration can be quoted in
value. A fair business continues to be done
in Ruin, at prices a shade under those of
last week ; the transactions consist of 450 puns.
Jamaica, at 2s. 10d. to 2s. Gd. for 28 to 36 per cent.
overproof, fine quality, 3s. Bd. to 4s. 4d.; 50 puns.
Demerara, 38 per cent. over, at 4s. 4d., and 250 puns.
Leeward Islands, proof to 16 per cent. over, at the
rate of ls. Bd. to Is. 9d. for proof strength. Rice--
1,058 bags sold at lls. to 12s. for good mid. to good
white, Bengal being 33. to Gd. cheaper. Spices-
-2,500 bags Pepper (chiefly Penang), and 398 bags,
10 casks Pimento have been brought to auction ; the
former were mostly taken in at tad. to 2id. (except-
ing about 500 bags, which sold at 2d. for mid.
quality) for mid. to good earthy, being a shade cheaper.

The plaintiff in this case was an ale and porter
brewer, and brought his action for the recovery of the
sum of nineteen guineas, for ale and porter, delivered

full amount.

covery of 281. 10s., for money lent and goods fur-
nished. The plaintiff is a tailor, residing in Feather-

its way in "her native element" to the good old tune
of " Hearts of oak are our ships." Three cheers were
given her as she went off, which were right heartily
returned by several thousands of persons on board,
and re-echoed from the shore. Having run her lensth,
she wai almost immediately brought into dock.
The Cumberland is constructed to mount 70 pieces
of ordnance, with dimensions unusually large for that
force, and was originally intended for service in the
Baltic Sea. Her principal dimensions are as follow :
Feet In.
Length on the gun-deck lBO 0
Do. of keel for tonnage
Breadth, extreme
Do. for tonnage
Do. moulded
Depth in hold
Burthen in tons 2,214

The following is her appointed armament :
No. of guns. Cwt. Ft. In.
Lower deck... 4... 8 inches... 65 ... length 9 0
..22...32 pounders 56 9 6
Main deck ... 2... 8 inches... 65 9 0
. .26...32 pounders 50 ... 9 0
Quarter-deck
& forecastle 16...32 pounders 39 ... 7 6

With these dimensions and armament, and a clean
shape below water, her draught of water will be very
moderate. The stern differs slightly from that pro •
posed by the Committee of Master Shipwrights; it is,
however, very elegant, and appears adapted for effec-
tiveness in service. The general contour of the ship
is good ; and her figure-head is a fine bust of Sir J.
Graham, who, at the time she was ordered to be built,
was first Lord of the Admiralty.
The whole of the arrangements were made with a
view to the greatest accommodation of the public; a
large number of spectators were present; many were
on board the ship at the time she was launched ; and
the whole went off, we are happy to say, without the
slightest accident.

It is due to Mr. Fincham, the master shipwright,
to state that yesterday, as at previous launches, every
accommodation was afforded and every courtesy shown
to the press.

VERY LARGE CANNON FOR THE PACIIA OF EGYPT.—
Yesterday much interest was excited in the town of
Brentrord by the arrival, in one of the country mon-
key-boats on the Grand Junction Canal, of a large
cannon, intended for the Pacha of Egypt, which has
been cast at the Gospel Oak Factory, near Birming-
ham. Ps dimensions are—length 13 feet, cireumfer-
ence at the breech 12 feet, bore 1 foot 3 inches, and dia-
meter of the nose 2 feet 7 inches. It was, in the course
of the clay, rased from the monkey-boat and shipped
in a barge, and was from thence conveyed to Wool- ,
wich Arsenal, where a pair of shearlegs. have been
erected for the purpose of proving it on the Warren.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE
(YESTERDAY.)
BOW-STREET.

There were upwards of fifty charges at this office
this morning, the majority of them being charges of
" Drunk and disorderly." The grotesque appearance
of many of " the charges" excited much laughter in
the Court. Some were covered with mud, all had
their clothes more or less torn, and highly ridiculous
was the appearance of every one. The defences were
that yesterday being the day on which Christmas was
kept, they had availed themselves of the opportunity
of taking " a drain." One or two appeared highly
indignant at the idea of being taken into custody for
getting drunk on Christmas-day, as they seemed to
believe they had prescriptive right to do whatever
they pleased on that day. blr. Twyford, however,
taught them otherwise. The interesting charges
were in some cases fined and others admonished and
disci gaged.

RKET NEWS.
(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
We had an unusually small supply of English
Wheat here to-day ; indeed, scarcely a fresh parcel
arrived since Monday. Fine dry qualities commanded
rather more money, with a firm inquiry, and the
value of all other kinds was steadily maintaincd. In
Foreign Wheat a steady business was passing, at,
in some instances, an advance of is per quarter, while
bonded descriptions were held at improved rates.
Malting and grinding barley was quite as dear, but
distillers' sorts were a mere drug. Malt, and all other
grain, was unaltered.

THE LEVANT MAIL.
(From the Malta Papers to the 15th inst.
lONIAN ISLANDS.

The news recently received from the lonian Islands
announce a fresh blow by the lonian Government,
not less direct than usual, against the political liberty
of the citizens, but also against the dominant
Church of these States. It appears that the Executive
Government has, in opposition to the canons and laws
of the State, disapproved of the election of the Rev.
C. Tipaldo, nominated 'on the 24th of last October,
as the Bishop of Cephalonia, by the clergy of those
Islands, and substituted in his stead the Rev. Condo-
micalo, a candidate rejected by the clergy, notwith-
standing the leaning of the Government, who made
use of a thousand violences and illegalities to get him
elected.

The impression created in the minds of the lonian
people by such an attempt is very grievous. They
judge that their religion is in danger, and are momen-
tarily waiting to see the altar of their God overthrown.
ZANTE, DEC. B.—lt is reported, that on the night
of the 6th instant a final peace was concluded be-
tween the families of the Regent Count George Lo-
gotteti and the ex-Senator Dr. Demetrius Plessa. Dr.
Demetrius Frangopulo was the mediator. Should
this be true, the country ought to ereet a monument
similar to that which the seventh Parliament decreed
in honour of Sir Howard Douglas. This pacification
will be of the utmost service to our country I
Wretched country, in what a state are lou placed.
