INDIGO-has improved 6d. to 9d. per lb. since last sale, owing to the scarcity of good qualities and an expected failure of the crop, which expectation is partly confirmed by the last advices from Calcutta to the end of July. The quantity at present on hand is 12,000 chests. COTTON-This article has experienced a rise of to per lb., as it appears that the plantations in Sea-Island, Georgia, &c. have suffered considerably from hurricanes and inundations, so that a material falling off in the supply is apprehended, notwithstanding more lands had been planted this year, than on any former period. In addition to this, there prevails the opinion, that a great deficiency of stock in Europe will be found at the end of the year, and from both these causes it' is considered likely that Cotton will soon experience a further rise; Georgia, 8d. to 94d.; Sea Island, 13d. to 18d.; Fernamb., 11 d. to 12d.; Bengal, 5d. to 64d.; Surate, 54d. to 64d.

Ancient Document.-A meeting of the City Tithe Committee was lately held at Guildhall, upon which occasion a very curious document, illustrative of the grievances under which the citizens of London for hundreds of years have la boured from the tithe system, was presented. It was found amongst the ancient records of the city. The following extracts from a translation of the document, which is written in Latin, will shew the principle upon which the sums now received by the clergy in the name of tithes, under the statute of Henry VIII. are founded. It will be necessary to premise, that tithe is payable for houses only by custom. This custom in papal times produced a source of revenue to the clergy from what were denominated voluntary offerings on Sundays and principal-feast days, but were in effect entirely compulsory, being under penalty of excommunication-a punishment at those periods little, if at all, inferior in the minds of the public to death; and the offerings varied in amount according as the ecclesiastics issued ordinances under the authority of the Pope. Sometimes they amounted in the course of the year to as much as 4s. 2d. in the pound upon the rent of the citizens; and in the document referred to, which is in the 32d year of Henry VI. after noticing the institution or ordinance issued by Roger Niger, Bishop of London, 13th of Henry III. it is stated that some citizens, of their mere liberality and fervour of devotion, gave to God and the church more than according to the rate ordained by Niger; and then it proceeds to state, that, "Nevertheless certain curates, not being content with sufficient and abundant provision, endeavoured to convert that which only of mere devotion and free will was so sometimes practised into a perpetual bond of right and debt to the church, and surreptitiously and privately obtained, in the time of Archbishop Arundel, letters declaratory of the said constitution, but more truly destructive and subversive of the true sense of the same, confirmed by Fope Innocent (the citizens being entirely unconscious and ignorant of the obtaining of such declaration); and thereupon such curates have very frequently vexed and molested many citizens, and grievous murmurs and inconveniences have arisen, and the fervour of holy devotion grown cold and lukewarm: wherefore the Hon. John Norman, Mayor, the Aldermen, and citizens, considering what grievous inconveniences did hang on them, extorted by the cunning and harshness of litigious men, upon mature deliberation, find that certain curates, deceitfully bestirring themselves, have procured from the Lord the Pope letters apostolic, strongly prejudicial and derogatory to the said citizens, containing grievous pains and censures, by which they pretend the citizens, their places and estates, are bound to the obligation of new, unusual, divers, and unheard-of charges, not to be borne by the said citizens, and have threatened to expel and remove them from the holy and sacramental services. Whereupon the Mayor and Aldermen, considering that the citizens may be unduly aggrieved, did, in pursuance, assemble in Common Council, on the 12th of March, in the 32d year of Henry VI., and appoint a conference with the Bishop of London; and so on the morrow they went to the Bishop of London, at the church of St. Paul, to the Chapter-house, where Thomas Bylling, Recorder of London, then publicly declared all the matter above said, desiring from the Bishop a true copy of the letters by the said curates obtained from the Lord the Pope; and the Bishop considering the desire to be consonant to reason, granted that they might have a copy, which copy they could not obtain, although they daily used all their diligence in that behalf. At length the same Bishop, fraudulently contriving to delude the aforesaid Mayor, sent one of his servants, praying the Mayor that he would vouchsafe to come to the church of St. Paul after the noon of the same day; and the said Mayor, with cheerful heart, went to the church aforesaid, and there, in a certain small chapel near the consistory, the Bishop met the Mayor, saying, 'My Lord Mayor, some of this city have been very often with me to demand and have a copy of a certain paper bull lately by the curates of the city obtained; and upon my soul and body I have no cognizance of it at all.'" The Committee expressed their conviction, upon examining this ancient test of the impositions which have descended upon the citizens of London as an inheritance, that if more arguments were necessary to prove the illegality of the source from which the burthen of the oppressed parishes sprung, here was a conclusive proof-here was a powerful instance that the citizens laboured under uncertain and arbitrary exactions in the shape of offerings before the Reformation; and that whatever might have been the intention of Bishop Bonner in the 37th year of Henry VIII., in delivering the decree under which the clergy and impropriators now claim to his registrar, instead of having the same enrolled in Chancery, the intervention of the Legis lature is at the present day imperatively called for, where local Acts in certain parishes have not already been obtained. The Committee at the same time concur in the opinion of the necessity of substituting a fair and liberal allowance in the place of tithe for the ministers of the gospel. The Committee have ascertained that the clerical and lay impropriators are determined to persevere in the course in which they set out, and have positively refused to submit the decision of their claims to Parliament. Those individuals who have refused to pay the amount demanded, are not themselves to defray the expenses which are consequent upon legal investigation; it is determined that each parish shall take the responsibility attached to every case upon itself. City Police. During the last year there were taken before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house, in custody, 1536 persons, as felons, disorderlies, rogues and ragabonds, &c. Besides these, frequently the business of the Guildhall is sent to the Mansion-house; and before that establishment, last year, 2815 persons were brought, on charges similar to those above mentioned. The Lord Mayor has also to sign permits for all the corn and fruit vessels that enter the river, which last year amounted to 17,000. The total number of affidavits and other papers signed was upwards of 40,000. The Lord Mayor, besides these labours, has to hold Courts of Aldermen, Courts of Common Council, Common Halls, Courts of Conservancy, Courts of Hustings, the Old Bailey, the London and the Southwark Sessions-to preside over the entertainments at the Mansion House, and over meetings of public charities. The following is an account of the number of persons brought before the City Magistrates during the several Mayoralties, from the first of Alderman Wood, in 1816, 4,740; second of Wood, 6,020; Alderman C. Smith, 4,800; Alderman Atkins, 4,484; Alderman Bridges, 4,612; Alderman Thorp, 4,328; Alderman Magnay, 4,428; Alderman Heygate, 4,335; Alderman Waithman, 4,351. Saving Banks, An article has appeared on the subject of those invaluable institutions, which is calculated to mislead the depositors, and to create groundless misapprehensions and alarm. It is stated, that persons having funds in more than one Savings Bank after the 20th of November, will forfeit the whole, and an extract of a clause in the Act of Parlia ment is given in corroboration. This extract is only a part of the clause of the Act, and therefore gives an erroneous impression, The Act alluded to is the 5th of Geo. IV., cap. 62, passed on the 17th of June last, to have effect after the 20th of November next. The clauses of that Act only oblige persons, on making their first deposit after the 20th of No vember, to declare that they have no deposits in any other Savings Banks; and if such declaration shall be untrue, the deposits of such persons shall in that case, and in that case only, be forfeited. By another clause in the same Act, persons who may have deposits in more Savings Banks than one, are authorized to transfer the whole into, one Savings Bank, in order that the limitation to the amount of future deposits may be enforced, which otherwise could not be done. St. Saviour's Church.-The restoration of St. Saviour's church, Southwark, has been just completed, and forms a splendid ornament in the access to the new London bridge on the Borough side. Considerable part of the old buildings between the church and the river are now about to be removed for an abntment to the New Bridge, and to widen the future street, to which the bridge will join itself, and this ancient and magnificent edifice will be fully exhibited to the view of the public. Whilst a visitor is on the spot, his antiquarian research will be much gratified on entering the building adjoining the east end of the choir, still retaining the name of the Spiritual Court, where multitudes of protestants in the days of Mary received sentence of con-, demnation to the flames. The light gothic pillars supporting the roof of this building will not fail to be admired; and in the same spot is the elegant monument of Dr. Andrews, Bishop of Winchester, with his recumbent figure in pontificalibus. In one of the side ailes of the nave will be seen the monument of Gower the poet. The tower of this church, as well as the east end, has been restored under the direction of Mr. George Gwilt, and is an able specimen of simple and elegant yet massive gothic architecture. The monastery and bishop's palace, near the church, are quite in ruins. In the latter, when inhabited by bishop Gardiner, the fury and cruelty of superstition raged to their greatest height.
