MISCELLANEOUS

We have reason to believe that the Right Hon. George
Dawson will be the Commissioners of Customs in the
place of the late Sir George Freeling, Bart.—Morning Post.
Mr. Lawrence Peel, the present Advocate-General, at
Calcutta, has been appointed Chief Justice of Bengal, in the
room of Sir Edward Ryan, who is retiring after the usual
period of service. This promotion creates a vacancy in the
responsible office of Advocate-General, which Mr. Peel has
filled since 1839.

In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Friday, seven men
were found guilty, for having conspired unlawfully to pro-
cure the election of Mr. Gibbs to the office of bridgemaster
of the City of London, by causing a great number of persons,
not duly qualified by law, to vote at the said election, as if
they were duly qualified voters.
At the court of common council, on Thursday, the report
of the committee upon the petition of the poor Jews who
have been long in the habit of selling old clothes in Cutler-
street, for the interference of the court to enable them to
carry on their business in the old place, or grant them other
relief, was brought up and agreed to. The report recom-
mended the removal of the old clothes sellers.
We understand that her Majesty the Queen Dowger has
munificently given another donation of £3OOO towards the
erection of the Protestant church at Malta.—Cambridge
Chronicle.

SINGULAR ACClDENT—Yesterday morning a singular ac-
cident occurred to a man named Charles Benjamin, 26 years
of age, who resides at No. 3, Lambeth-street, Whitechapel.
It appears that he was walking along the Whitechapel-road
with a pipe in his mouth when he struck against a post, by
which the pipe was forced into his throat, and a portion of it
broken off. He fell down convulsed with agony. He was con-
veyed immediately to the London Hospital. where he remains
in a very dangerous condition.—London Times of Tuesday.
AN AUCTION ER.'S RECOMMENDATION. —At a public
auction one evening this week, the auctioneer had, among
other things to dispose of, a good repeater. When recom-
mending it to the public, he made the following observations :
—" This repeater, ladies and gentlemen, is extremely useful,
both in the night and day, for on touching a spring con-
nected with its works,—if you are asleep, and your eyes
closed, it will tell you the time by striking .1" The audience,
of course, had a hearty laugh at the unconscious bull of the
crier.—Westmorland Gazette.

APPOINTMENT OF GOVERNOR OF THE PRESTON HOUSE
OF CORRECTION.—We understand that the magistrates
usually attending the bench at Preston have determined, on
the 6th January next, the first day of the next Preston Ses-
sions, to appoint a successor to Captain Anthony, the pre-
sent governor of the Preston house of correction, who, it is
stated, has resigned that office. There are already several
candidates in the field ; and, doubtless, when the vacancy be-
comes more generally known, the nmmber will be consider-
ably increased.

WEST INDIA STEAMERS.—The town of Southampton is
unusually bustling for this season of the year, in consequence
of four of the splended steamers intended for the West India
trade being now assembled in Southampton water. The
directors of the company, to whose princely liberality and
public spirit the British public is indebted for the carrying
into effect this great enterprise,, have determined to despatch
four of their magnificent ships in the course of next week from
Southampton, in order that they may take up their respective
stations in the West Indies in such order as will insure the
very utmost regularity and despatch both in obtaining and
delivering the various mails. The steamer Forth is the first
vessel to depart? and her ports of destination are—Nassau,
Havannali, New Orleans, Tampico, and Vera Cruz, and from
thence back to the Havannah, to receive the mail on the 26th
of January for England. Lieut. R. J. Fayrer, R.N., is the
able commander selected to open this great and most important
line of steam communication. He starts in the Forth, and
will be immediately followed by the steamers Solway, Tweed,
and Clyde. Capt. Fayrer is well known as the officer who
commanded the steam-ship Liverpool, now the Great Liver-
pool, during her six voyages from Liverpool to New York.
No one can doubt but that a wise discretion has been exer-
cised in his appointment, as well as the other gentlemen
selected to command this unrivalled fleet of vessels. We
understand that General Hamilton of Texas is going out in
the Forth with highly important matters connected with the
slave trade, with a view to arrangements at Washington, be-
fore the assembling of Congress.

WHOLESALE ROBBERY.—On Tuesday, Thomas Little-
hales was brought before John Lister, Esq., on the charge
of stealing the following articles, the property of Charles
Duxbury of this town :—one £5 note, three sovereigns, 5
yards of flannel, 16 yards of gingham, 47 yards of check, 3
yards of calico, a large quantity of bedding and wearing ap-
parel, and a number of small articles. Elizabeth Duxbury,
wife of Christopher Duxbury, beer-seller, of John-street,
deposed that on Tuesday she directed the prisoner to take
four packages of clothes, bedding, and household ware to the
canal office, in this town, to be forwarded to Liverpool, to
meet her and her husband, who, with the prisoner, intended
to set sail for America. She, her husband, and the prisoner,
all went to Liverpool together. When they went to Liver-
pool, she gave the prisoner money to pay the fare to America.
and for the carriage of the goods from Blackburn. The
money she gave him was £l2 10s.,—four pounds of which
money he paid to the ship agent. and 3s. 6d. of which he
paid to the Canal Company in this town, to pay for the car-
riage of the goods. They received all the goods at Liver-
pool, excepting two packages, which did not arrive. They
were her husband's property. William King, bookkeeper
for Tyrer and Glover, the canal-carriers, deposed that on
Tuesday, the 7th instant, the prisoner brought one hamper,
two boxes, and a bundle, to the warehouse for carriage to
Liverpool. The hamper, the box, and the cover of the

bundle he knew. He ordered one box and the hamper to be
shipped by the next boat. The box, with the bundle on the
top, and a bed-tick, filled with other goods, he ordered to be
kept until he should send some other goods that might go
altogether. The goods were entered in prisoner's name in
the office. Last Saturday, the prisoner called again at the
warehouse for the box, bundle, and the bed-tick, saying that
he did not wish to send them, and that if they were sent to
the Boathouse Inn, he would pay the expenses. The goods
were, accordingly, thus removed, William Whalley, inn-
keeper, deposed that the prisoner called at the Boathouse
Inn and removed the goods. It further appeared from the
evidence that the prisoner took the goods to the Bowling-
green lnn, where be opened the parcels. He then said that
he had received the goods from a sister, who lived in Liver-
pool. Police-sergeant Marquis deposed that, in consequence
of information which he had received he apprehended the
prisoner in the Bowling-green Inn. The goods were also
seized. They were the same that were then produced. The
prisoner was committed to take his trial.—Blackburn
Standard.

THE POETRY PROFESSORSHIP AT OXFORD.—The elec-
tion will take place early in February. The resident mem-
bers in the university are supposed to be divided nearly as
follows, on the theological questions now agitating the place :
—For the Puseyite candidate (heads of colleges and halls)—
Magdalen' Exeter, Trinity, All Souls. For Mr. Garbett
(ditto)—St. John's, Wadham, New College, Oriel, Worces-
ter, University, Balliol, Pembroke, Corpus, Alban-hall,
Merton, Lincoln. Neutral—Jesus, Queen's Edmund-hall,
Christ Church. Tha whole of the resident Fellows of Exeter,
Queen's, Trinity, Oriel, and Christ Church, with a few ex-
ceptions, are said to be in favour of the Puseyite candidate,
Mr. Garbett's strength lying chiefly in Brasenose, Wadham,
and Balliol. The remaining colleges and halls are nearly di-
vided.—Oxford paper.

Some time ago the men employed at the chateau de Jon-
chere, near Brie-Compte-Robert, in rebuilding the dairy
which had been constructed out of an old tower, uncovered a
a coffin which lay near the foundation. This was no extra-
ordinary occurrence, as the building had been part of an an-
dent convent. The Count de V-, proprietor of the estate,
had the coffin opened, and within was found the dried re-
mains of a body wrapped in a monk's dress, with a large
battle-sword by its side, The head of the corpse was laid co o
a stone, and on one of the fingers of the left hand was a ring
turned brown by age, and bearing the impression of a coat of
arms, on which were charged two lions superposed. This
was no doubt one of the Seigneurs of the time of Louis XIII.,
some of whom, as is well known, after passing a dissolute
life, ordered themselves to be interred in convents in the garb
of monks, thinking by this mark of penitence to insure their
salvation !

BRITISH ASSOCIATION MEETING IN 1842.—We are sure
many of our readers will be glad to learn, that there is to be,
in connection with the meeting of this learned and scientific
body in Manchester next summer, an exhibition of various
products of human skill and art. The following gentlemen
have been nominated as local officers, and we believe many
of them have accepted the offices :—President : Lord Francis
Egerton, M.P.—Vice-Presidents : Dr. Dalton, Professor
Sedgwick, Dr. Henry, Sir Benjamin Heywood, and the Hon.
and Very Hey. Dr. Herbert, Dean of Manchester.—Local
Secretaries: Messrs. Peter Clare, William Fleming, M.D.
and James Heywood.—Committee: Messrs. H. H. Birley.
G. W. Buck, Alfred Binyon, Laurence Buchan, Thomas
Bazley, John Burd, William Birmingham, E. W. Binney,
J. F, Bateman, Samuel E. Cottain, Richard Cobden, M.P.
Matthew Curtis, H. C. Campbell, Charles Cumber, Henry
Day, John Davies, William Fairbairn, R. H. Greg, John
Graham, Eaton Hodgkinson, Holland and Hoole, John

dian.

A MAN SUFFOCATED BY GAS.-011 Friday evening an inquest was held at the Court-house, Stockport, before Mr.
C. Hudson, coroner, on view of the body of Henry Taylor,
a gas fitter-up, who was suffocated by gas on the premises of
Mr. Scott, iron-founder and gas fitter, on the previous day.
On Thursday deceased went down a dry well, adjoining a
gasometer, to clear away some dirt from a main pipe, and in
doing which he caused a leakage in a joint, and the gas es-
caping, he was suffocated before lie could leave the well. A
young man who went to his assistance was very near sharing
the same fate, he being insensible when taken out of the well,
and it required the unremitting attention of three surgeons
for some time before he was considered out of danger. The
man Taylor was quite dead when taken out of the well.
A NOVEL MODE OF RAISING THE WIND.—One day last
week a man from Preston was returning home from this
town, and on his approach to the pay bridge over the Ribble,
about two miles from Preston, he found that he had not the
means wherewith to pay the toll, which is one halfpenny,
when he lilt upon the following notable expedient for " rais-
ing the wind." As he approached the bridge, he commenced
running with all his might ; and when he reached the toll-
bar, he appeared to be in great distress. He exclaimed to
the keeper of the gate that he had just been robbdd by two
men of £9 ss. 6d. lie said that the men had run across
some fields in a direction to which he pointed. He added
that he did not know how he should get to Preston, as the
thieves did not leave on his person as much as a halfpenny to
pay for crossing the bridge. A person who was standing by
charitably said he would pay the toll for the poor fellow, who
immediately afterwards passed on, loudly bewailing his loss.
ABOLITION OF THE EXCHEQUER-BILL-OFFICE.—We
understand that the forgeries collimated by Mr. Beaumont
Smith and his more guilty accomplices will, possibly, lead
to a transfer of the business connected with the issue and
payment of exchequer-bills to the Bank of England. Mini-
sters are already in possession of the terms upon which the
governors of that establishment will undertake the manage-
ment and risk of this important security. No arrangement
can be definitely entered into until the meeting of parliament,
when it is expected that one of the first measures of the ses-
sion will be the appointment of a select committee to inquire
into the management of the department of the controller-ge-
neral and paymasters of exchequer-bills ; upon the issue of
which will depend the abolition of the department itself, and
tranafer of its affairs to the Bank of England.—Circular.
KING CONSORT.—The Queen having expressed some na-
tural uneasiness that her son, the. Prince of Wales, should
have, during her lifetime, precedence of his royal father, it
has been resolved, that Prince Albert shall be immediately
created King Consort, by the style and rank of his majesty
King Albert. English history affords no precedent for such
a step as this ; but in other countries in Europe the eleva-
vation, under similar circumstances, is not uncommon ; and
at this moment, in Portugal, the brother of Prince Abert,
who is married to the Queen, enjoys the title of King Con-
sort. The resolve, on the part of the administration cannot
but be grateful to the Sovereign and her loyal people. The
Prince Albert has now been tried, and has been found de-
serving in every respect of such a compliment. It conveys
no increase of power, and infers no new prerogative, but it
adds to the temporal dignity of a Prince whose wisdom and
discretion, virtuous and amiable'qualities; entitle him to the
confidence and respeet Of the public, and gratifies at once
the matrimonial affection, and the maternal solicitude of the
Sovereign, who does and ought to reign in the hearts of her
subjects.—Dublin Evening Mail.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 14.
Prevented by frequent gales of wind, we have scarcely any
Grain up Coastwise since this day week, and except a further
good supply of Oatmeal, the receipts from Ireland are very
moderate. Of Foreign and Canadian produce, the arrivals
fresh in contain 5510 qrs. of Wheat, a few parcels of Beans
and Pease, with 3382 barrels of Flour, as specified below.
Although we had a tolerable number of town and country
millers at this day's market, the demand for all descriptions
of free Wheat continued upon a very moderate scale ; holders
in general, however, remained firm, and the currency of this
day week was supported in the sales which took place. A few
further parcels of bonded Wheat, in granary and to arrive,
have changed hands, on terms rather exceeding the rates
stated on Friday.
Free States and Canadian Flour continued to meet a steady
sale at the advance above mentioned ; but English and Irish,
remaining nearly without inquiry, scarcely sustained former
prices.

Malting Barley continued in very languid request, at the
reduced rates of Friday ; and grinding parcels were nominally
a shade lower in value.—Malt was dull, and Is. per quarter
cheaper.—Beans were in moderate demand, and the turn
dearer.

Oats, appearing to claim somewhat more attention than of
late, fully maintained our last quotations, and very fine qua-
lities, if at hand, would have realised some amendment.
Oatmeal, upon an improved demand, commanded 3d to 6d
per 240 lbs, over the rates of this day se'nnight.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 13.
This having been the day appointed for holding the great Christ.
mas market, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up from our grazing dis-
tricts were brought in at an early hour, and we have to notice that
they exceeded those received at the corresponding market last year
by upwards of 600. Notwithstanding the immense collection of
stock, so perfect were the arrangements effected by the market
committee for its reception, that the confusion usually ensuing on
these occasions were in a great measure avoided ; in fact, the only
drawback upon the whole proceedings was the unpropitious and
unfavourable state of the weather. Throughout the day crowds of
visitors came pouring in from all parts, who expressed their
gratification at the prodigiously fine animals submitted for sale.
The main strength of the supply of Beasts was derived from
Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Warwiekshire,
with no inconsiderable portion from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex.
With respect to the general quality of Beasts, it must be admitted
that it was seldom, if ever, equalled, and, when the late rains and
the continued epidemic are considered, it must be allowed that this
circumstance reflected the greatest credit upon the graziers.
In noticing the best stock In the market, we must not fail to
state that the l 5 short-horns, the property of Sir Charles Knightley,
were extraordinary fine creatures, and every point bore the strictest
scrutiny. We must regret, and so must every member of the club,
that they were not shown in Baker-street.
Notwithstanding the attendance of both London and country
buyers, but more particularly that of the former, was numerous,
the beef trade comparatively speaking, was dull, yet there was a
slight improvement, say of 2d per 81bs. ❑pon the currencies noted
on Monday last, and a clearance was not effected without difficulty.
There was a fair average number of Sheep on the market. Prime
old Downs sold at last week's currencies, but in other kinds next to
nothing was passing. Calves were in short suppiy and sluggish in-
quiry at late retes. It should be borne in mind that our general
figures for Beef do not refer to the prize stock, which, of course,
sold at higher rates.
