London, being part owner of it, and the others residing in
the colony and at Liverpool. The vessel being at Liverpool,
A sold his interest in her to B, of that port, and required B

to take his bill of _ .ne original register, to Lae
customs there, and in virtue of the 3d and 4th of William

Le, wit

registered de novo. The officers refused compliance with
this on the plea that register de novo could only be made at
the port of building and original registration. Now, this
being manifestly contrary to the practice adopted at the port
of London, the bearing of the case was properly represented

with the view to

get itinbusted on_ the same footing, or at

least to know what could cause such difference in the practice
prevailng at the two most important ports of the kingdom.
The result has been that a communication has been made to
the collector and controller of the customs at Liverpool for
their government, to the effect that upon the production of
a bill of sale, under the circumstances stated, and upon the
other requisites of law being complied with, they will hence-
forward grant registry de novo.—London Times
ON THE PRESERVATION OF ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE
Pow:l.—Various means have from time to time been adopted
for effecting the preservation of animal substances. From
the very earliest periods, indeed, attempts more or less rude

ing in the brief limit assigned by nature. The art of pickling
and salting was soon discovered, and very little progress was
made beyond this primitive invention during a long course

of ages. The union.of science and art has, 12°Wever, at length
come to our aid, and enabled us to discover the weans of
preserving animal and vegetable food, to keep freely-without
the intervention of any extraneous matter, for any length of
time, and in any climate. We were invited a few days ago
to inspect specimens of meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables,
cured according to this novel preservative process. The en-
tertainment was given at the Commercial Hotel, Dale-street,
and the meeting was most numerously and respectably at-

tended. The advantages which appear to be derived by the
process are thus enumerated in the circular :—" First—That
the preservative process is reduced to a certainty ; it is sim-

pier in execution, more efficacious in principle, and much
less expensive, than any other method in use. Secondly—
That the oeculiar and unpleasant flavour which the old mode

•
of preserving imparted to the provisions, and which greatly

yl aut.u..aa auu scau.aas
tion, is entirely obviated by the new method, without the
inseparable inconvenience which invariably attended all for-
mer processes in use, of being too much cooked. Lastly—
That every description of provision can be preserved in cases
of very large dimensions, the size of the package offering no
impediment to the successful completion of the operation,
so that whole joints of meat, poultry, game, and fish, inclu-
ding even lobsters, crabs, and prawns, in the shell, may be
sent to table in as good and perfect a state as if they had
only just been dressed by the ordinary culinary process."—
Ile advantages which must naturally flow from a simple and
nsive process of keeping fresh, with all their nutriment
f animal and vegetable food, must be

SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday an inquest was held before
Mr. Curry, on view of the body of Wm. Clare, aged 21,
captain of a flat, whose death it was suspected had been
caused by the contents of a bottle administered to him
by an practitioner of Harrington-street. fit appeared,
however, from examination of the body that he died from in-
flammation of the outer coats of the stomach, the result of
natural causes, and a verdict was returned accordingly.

CHILD FOUND.—On Saturday last a male infant, of
full growth, was found dead in St. Martin's church-yard,
wrapped in a cloth, but without any marks of violence. It

usual way, so that the only delinquency was the exposure.

Graham had offered the honour of the Borough Magistracy
to several gentlemen. It was, we hear, offered, in the first
instance, to the gentlemen who had sat on the bench before
the passing of the Municipal Corporation Act. Of that body
Mr. Horsfall is, we believe, the only gentleman who has
positively accepted the honour ; but Mr. Aspinall and Mr.
Case will, it is expected, also accept it. In addition to these
