(Abridged from the Glasgow Argus.) Yesterday, at one o'clock s one of the most respectable and influential meethegs ever held 5n Glasgow took place in the Trades' Hall, -on a requisition a n,:eessed tie the Lord Provost, " for the purpose of considering ta i l very distressed state of the country, and this alarming, prospects the ensuing winter, and of memorialisitc the Queen, praying he' r Plajcsty not to pro rogue the tno.

Reid, J ames S t i r li ng, James Turner, John Ore,- adrew Bannaeyne, William Gray, James Davidson, C. J. Azimut, and Robert Sanderson, &c., &c. , !Jr. OSWALD, having taken the chair, read, the requisition. He said I may simply say that I quite accord wlth the views entertained by the requisitionists, and highly approve of their p-oposal, that the public should come forward, at this time, and express their opinion.—( Ch eers .) I t hi n k the Corn-laws are founded i n injustice—that they are unjust even to the agriculturists themselves—and hurtful, in a very essen tial manner, to the trade and commerce o f the country. Believing hat nothing of importance would take place in Parliament, I paired off with Lord Keiburne—a very excellent pair, I should think, for his Lordship and myself never happen to agree upon any one thine. —( Laughter.) On Monday morning, having seen in the Glasgow papers an announcement of this meeting, and having read the reply of the Lord Provost, upon which I do not think it right for me to remark, I resolved to come down, to show my sense of what I could not help regarding as a slap at the cause in which yin are engaged.—(Great chee r i ng .) Mr. MURRAY th en rea d a letter from Dr. Wardlaw, regret ting his inability to be present, but concurring entirely in the objects for which the meeting was called. Mr. A. GRAHAM rose to move the first resolution. It ha; been repeatedly shown, he said, latterly with more effect, by Aar. Hume, of the 'Treasury, that the extra annual cost of the grain and butcher meat of the consumers of this coentry, be yond what they could have 'purchased the same supplies for from abroad, amounts annually to forty-four millions ; while the accumulation of the enhanced cost on consumption to the pt esent time would be equivalent to the amount of the whole national debt.—(Cheers.) When these laws were passed this country e as the only manufacturer in the world entitled to the name. The produce of other countries, having been all agri cultural, could alone be given in exchange for our ma u'ac tures. Our rejection of this, the only medium of exchange, has forced other countries to become manufacturers for them seises, and, in retaliation, to extend a similar system of ex clusion against us. Limitations of imports operate as limita tions of exports. From 1831 to 1836 our exports exceeded our imports by 120 millions. We have exported till nothing remains which we can receive in exchange, and our manufac tures necessarily are neatly approaching a dead lock. The peculiar pressure of this system on the labouring poor is its most distressing feature. There are 20 millions of our people depend ing 'I upon their daily labour. It has been ascertained that a large proportion of the weekly wagi , s do not exceed 103. of which it re quires one-half to pay for the bread of a family. Estimating the bread tax at 40 per cent., which is below its actual amount, the weekly tax on the labourer i 3 two shillings, or about .5/. yearly, As every man must have bread, this burden is equiva lent to an income tax, but one of most unjust and unequal ap plication. On an income of 2.51., it is a tax of 20 per cent. ; on one of 1001.5 per cent. ; on an income of 1,090/. half a per cent, ; and on the enormous incomes of the landed aristocracy, it amounts to so minute a fraction per cent, that it could only be stated to excite laughter.—( Cheers. ) The injustice of taxing a whole community for the aegrandi•ement of a small section of its members is so palpable, that the adviicates of the food-taxes have never attempted to defend them in the abstract.—( Cheers. ) The landowners have been estimated at 30,0004 only, and on the criteria of that, or any greater number to which they can be exaggerated, or con trasted with the %%hole remaining population, their proper• Lion of the taxes, on consumption, would be obviously very small. Now it appears, from statistical returns, that in Great Britain the whole agriculturists form only twenty-eight per cent. of the population, indicating their proportion of taxation at t orelre millions; while, :n Great Britain and Ireland, the agri culturists form only thirty-eight per cent, of the population, in dicating their proportion of taxes at fifteen m Mons sterling. Lord Melbourne, in a recent speech, cautioned the Peers against subjecting themselves to the suspicion of selfish legis lation. Stiviciott, indeed! It is no suspicion at a:I, but a broad, palpable, verified charge, of a long course of legislation unparalleled in selfishness.—( Cheers.) Lord J. Russell, in the House of Commons, had recently a d verte d to t h e d anger of manufacturing establi3hinents being withdrawn from the mother country. This, however, was practically not quite so easy a matter. He (Mr. Graham), in elate conversation with one of the greatest cotton machine-makers its this country, had, from mere curiosity, asked ; how far, taking into account the extra cost of new machieery, and the cheapness of building abroad, it mig,ht not be - Practieable, without loss, to take good machinery, out of a mill here, and to trawling and reconstruct it in a new shell in some other manufacturing country. His answer was, that the thing was quite practicable, and could be ,done without much lots. Well, then, you will all say, here in at once a remedy for the manufacturer—why does he not transport himself at once, bag and baggage, to Saxony, or France, or Germany, or America, where his trade is more profitable ? 0, yes ! that is all very true ; but, un fortunately, it happens that the same landowning legislators who crush the manufacturer at home, virtually forbid him to cmigeate abroad. They prohibit him from export ing even the machines of his owii mill, and thus, while ti.ey se: fire to his house in front, actually barricade his only door of escape behind. Mr. Graham next adverted more specially to the proposed postponement of the consideration of this sub ject. To that postponement he objected, in the first place, on account of the urgency of the claim of the manufacturers, as well as their operatives, to an immediate decision on the causes and cure of the evils under which they labour. Masses of the unemployed were on the brink of starvation, and threatened some outbreak during the approaching winter. For a description of the prevailing distress, he referred to the petition to the House of Commons of the six hundred and fifty ministers of religion assembled at the Conference in Manchester. These Reverend Gentlemen had been sent by their congregations at an expense of three thousand pounds, and were backed by the prayers and wishes of fifteen h un d re d congregat i ons, whose ministers had addressed the Conference by letter.—(Cheers.) Their peti (inn, therefore, may be considered the united voice of upwards of two thousand Christian congregations, with their pastors at their head, denouncing the taxes on food as unjust and cruel, and as calculated to call down the vengeance of Him who is the avenger of the poor and the oppressed.—(Cheers,l Mr. Graham also objected to the postponement of this question, not only on account of the matured state in which it stood, after so rimy years of discussion, growing in heat and agitation, and in which discussions Sir Robert Peel himself had been a party since their very commencement—he also objected to delay on account cf the peculiar position of the present Cabinet with relation to this subject, and to the circumstances under which they obtained office.—(Cheers.) It was on account of this very question that tke former Parliament had been disolved, and a new one called on an especial appeal to the country. It was on account of this very question that the former Minis try resigned, and the present Cabinet obtained their places. The immediate and urgent consideration of this very question was also the burdec of her Majesty's Speech on the opening of Parliament.—( Hear, hear.) The present Parliament and the present Cabir.et had been called into existence for the very purpose of legislating in one form or other upon this question ; for that Cabinet to hang it up for other five months were a violation of the implied condition of their existence. Lastly, he objected to the proposed delay, because there was no hope that it would terminate in the adoption, by the Cabinet, of any more liberal views on the subject. The Duke of Richmond had recently declared in the House of Peers, that, should the present Cabinet attempt to repeal or modify the Corn and Provision-laws, his party would turn them out as they had done their predecessors. " Let them only," said his Grace, " say we will have an eight shilling duty, and a free trade in other respects in corn, arid we who have put them now in will again turn them out of office." There exists a most for midable league to perpetuate the present plundering system of monopoly. It is doubtless as the organ of this league that his Grace of Richmond here boast , of their absolute power to pull down and set up whatever Ministry they please—boasts that no man shall dare to he the Minister of the Queen, who shall not. also be their Minister, that that man, whoever he may be, shall hold offi c e only t o b e th e ir tool, th e i r puppet., their slave. Good God ! hare we all come to this ? Have we been fancying we were freemen, while in reality we were slaves ? Have the people of this country been dreaming that the great authors of the Reform Act had brought them within view of the pro mised land, only now to awake, and find ourselves under a more Egyptian bondage than before—th e b on d age of a greedy, grasp ing and unjust oligarchy of monopolists.—((;hears.) Air. Graham then sat down amid repeated rounds of applause, after having moved the first resolution, Mr. Wm. CROSS seconded the resolution. Many a Lord, he said, besidts the Lord Provost of Glasgow, who must now be regarded a judge in matters of good taste, doubts, I dare say, the good taste of our proceedings here this day.—(Cheers, and laughter.) The pheasant shooting has begun, and it is, perhaps, unreasonable in us to expect th at t h e aristocracy will postpone their autumnal battues, for th e sa k e of considering the distressed state of the millions of manufacturers in this country.—(Cheers.) Earnest and suffering men do not always, perhaps, regulate their conduct by the strict standard of good taste ; starvation is unfavourable to the scrupulous observance of etiquette ; but it surely becomes us, living in the midst of distress, being part and parcel of the sufferers, humbly to sup plicate the advisers of her Majesty, to take our case into con sideration, and, if possible, to bring forward remedies for the distress now existing in the country. In Fiance, in 1721, the people cried for bread. Bread they did not obtain ; but they did obtain the total overthrow of that aristocracy which had so long trampled on their rights and liberties.— (Cheers. ) For centuries of misrule and oppression they per haps took an unjustifiable revenge ; but revolutions, as a dis tinguished statesman observed, are not composed of milk arid water.—( Cheers. ) Our aristocracy shrmld take warning in time.

I should deprecate as much as any man to see the same opera tions gone into, in regard to the Corn-laws, that were rendered necessary in regard to the Reform Bill ; but the same fee inz, and it is we ll to speak plainly, the same feeling that caused the evacuation of th e b enc h es of one entire side of the House of Lord s i n 18 32, perhaps may be again aroused, and t nhen,a d . nut till th en , w ill the atrocious Corn-laws be totally wiped from the statute hook.—(Great cheering . . ) cep T t h o e n ß o e ne . opthrerH o E c o c c as it io w n, as a r n e d ce t i h ve a d t waithsimloilliadric,o%serri ]rave e never telt it to be my duty to mingle in en me r e e : tr ig . strictly be called political. 1 have not be for the opinion ever, from fear, or from any profound respect clergymen who think of those who condemn unqualifiedly all eo„. t. ) It will proper to deliver an opinion on polit w ie i g e . n Ch a n e eC i lr now ever, I I tell them that, in riot, perhaps, gratify our opponents the intelligence and worth combination with what I deem of the land, we beat them on the former question, ; so is it our confidence that, as sure as morning follows night, we shall beat them on this question too, and get the Corn-laws repealed.-- ( Tremendous cheering.)

The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all claims with promptitude and liberality, but has, f, oat its first establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These amount at the present time to 12.5,000/.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in p-oof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfe us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by deieloplng a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pultrionsry Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitt e d t o judi cious treatment, be brou g ht t o as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly molel a book —Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will he most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases.—As to the duration of the com plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/. without which, no notice whatever can b e t a k en o f their application ; and in all eases the most inviolable secresv may be relied on.

NEWLY -INVENTED SPECTACLES.-- fi The arti cial aid afforded to th e Si g h t by Lenses is one of the most valu able gifts derived from science, and it is indeed of vital importance that theadoption of Spectacles to imperfect vision, should be regu lated on proper principles. Messrs. S. and 13. Solomons, 39, Al. bemarle_strect, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank of England, having devoted their whole lives to this branch of Science, and their long extensive practice have enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a new construction, which have gained universal approbation. Immediately they aro placed before imperfect vision, either by day or candle-light, that mist and chillness which appear before the eyes is at once removed, every object becomes clear anti distinct, so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes b r i ght and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state. Their Invisible Operative Voice Conductor for deaf persons is not the !nit perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a piece of wool in its place; they give immediate relief to old standing ex. teems cases of deafness.

Ever since the issuing of the Coroner's warrant for the apprehension of the murderer, Robert Blakesley, the police have been unremitting in their search for him, and ninny houses, known •to have been the occasional resort of the assassin, have been visited, but without success. On Friday morning information was received that two bodies had been picked up off Greenwich, and Mr. Burden, brother Of the deceased, immediately proceeded there to view them, in order to identify' Blakesley, should he be one of them ; but he MIS nut.

" Brother James—l have been to Sevenoaks this p m b y the mu enter, of rderer, ascertainedSeale, bitti,blte r himß the premises si:tu3i,; ihiie.r lately nre n oz o l i t i p i g d Mr—Harman's at Botany Bay, Benjamin Cook, =- house. He w sheep and three lambs, which were to be paid for on de livery. He told the man he had' not then the money by went to Mr. Cooke's and bought tatshliartt7-hntienre him, but a mild pay his master to-morrow. The man would not leave the sheep without the money; and for a day cr two they were turned into a neighbouring field. The person he had engaged to assist in killing was Wil liam Reynolds, of the Crown Tap, to whom he owes 51. ss. fur labour and sundries. He had no cutlery or tools, and felt himself sadly disappointed in Mr. Burdon nut sending their. The premises belonged to Mr. Moon, butcher, to whom the meat and lent money was owing. He had an execution entered on the premises, by Cooke, for the amount of the slaughter-house, 47/. At the time of the sale Mr.Burdon was there, and they both, with the auctioneer, Mr.. • Saunders, :took tea at Mr. Harman's. He (Blakesley) expressed Wet:self Yi:ry much dissatisfied with the conduct of Mr. Cook, saying h e had not don e with him yet, and that he wanted. Flanging up in the slaughter-house for an hour, or he should think it no sin to stab him. .I have seen the letter this morning. Mr. Inspector Brake sent to my brother high-constable, but Blakeslee- has not been seen by any one who knows him, and I do not think it at all likely he will come here, un less it is to have some revenge on Cooke." The sheep and lambs were ordered from a farmer named Cooke, living at Seale Chart, about a mile and a half from Sevenoaks. Blakesley defrauded several tradesmen in the town, and while at Sevenoaks endea voured to borrow 100/. of Mr. Lee, butcher, of Leaden hall-market, on a bill of exchange, and also a similar sum of , Mr. Peat, the saddler, of Piccadilly. Just prior to the murderer's marriage with the unfortunate sister in law of Mr. Burdon, he managed, in order to affect an appearance that he was a man of respectability, to obtain 3001. from a stockbroker in the City, on a bill ofexchange for three months, part of which sum he expended at the time of hit marriage. Mrs. Eliza Burden, the widtne of the murdered man, states, in addition to the evidence given before the Coroner, that her husband and Blakesley were on the most friendly terms, until he was apprised of his con duct at Sevenoaks. Blakesley wrote to him for money and cutlery for killing, &c., and it was his intention to accede to the request, but happening to go down to Sevenoaks, he discovered how things were, arid declined, as he believed it would do no good. This much exas perated Blakesley, and Mr. Burdon advised them to come to London, and offered to support Mrs. Blakesley until he got into something. He told Blakesleyhe should be glad to sec him at any time, but he could not allow him to sle e p i n th e house. Blakesley reluctantly agreed, and her sister returned, and they were very comfortable . until within three or four days before the murder, when words took place-between them respecting INirs..l3lakesley going to live with him. That was the sole cause of their quarrel, and Blakeslee' became so insolent that Mr. Burdon forbade him his house. She is positive Blakesley was on the outside of the door, before lie entered, some time, watching that the place was clear, as she observed the door open and shut several times before he came in. The moment she caught a sight of Blakcsley's thee, on seeing him enter the bar, she was convinc e d h e i n t en d e d some mischief. His looks were fierce and determined, and he appeared so wild. She states that the description of his dress and person which has already gone forth is some what incorrect. She stated that at the time of the mur der he possessed no other clothes than those he wore, excepting a buff waistcoat. They consisted of a dark invisible green Newmarket coat, with black button's, light . drab . trousers, with open buttons, and three buttons at the bottom on each side, a black satin waist coat and orange sprigs, a light blue handkerchief, Wel lington boots, and silk hat. He has a quick gait in walking, and generally keeps his eyes fixed towards tlie ground. He has black hair and - whiskers, and all his shirts and stockings are marked " Robert Blakesley," in black ink. Mr. D. W. Harvey, the city police commissioner, on Friday waited upon—Sir, ..14y125. Graham, Secretary of State for the Home Department, recommending that reward of 1001. should be offered for the apprehension bf the murderer, or for information that might lead to it ; and a reward of 20/. to any waterman who might find the body. .This proposition, it is believed, was at once readily acceded to. _ Mr.;. Sarah Blakesley, the wife of the murderer, is doing - well. A favourable change took place on Thursday night, and strong hopes are now entertained of her ulti mate recovery. On Friday Mr. Burdon's brother visited her, and on asking "How she was ?" the poor creature, who is still in a very weak state, exclaimed " Oh God, I have been the cause of my brother's murder." After a short time she became calm, and entered into an expla nation of the horrible scene of Tuesday night, which en tirely corresponded with that given by her sister. She expressed a surprise that Blakesley should have made an attempt on her life, as she was on the most affectionate terms with him, and on their last parting on Sunday night he appeared quite happy and cheerful. She said c.ey never had the slightest quarrel, and she believed - thjahe doated upon her. They, however, differed upon the point of her leaving her brother's house, she wishing to stay till he got into employment. She frequently makes inquiry if he has been apprehended, and appears exceed ingly anxious, and at times excited. If her life be saved it will be owing to the resistance presented to the knife by her stays, which caused it to glance off and penetrate the abdomen horizontally. The funeral of Mr. Bullion will take place to-morrow (Monday). The unhappy father of the murderer has been known as a tradesman of great respectability in the city for nearly forty years ; he was a Common Councilman, and his brother is now a representative of one of the wards. The family of Mr. Blakesley, sen., consisted of two sons and two daughters ; one of the sons was drowned some time ago, and the other has by his crimes now obtained a melancholy notoriety. Since the 29th of last• April, Blakesley, the murderer, has absented himself from his paternal roof. He was brought up under his father's eye. in his warehouse, and at the period stated Mr. Blakesley, sen., gave him a suet of napney for the pur pose of paying for a suit of clothes, and since then he has seen nothing of him. The murderer married with out the knowledge of his father, and immediately after wards he and his wife w en t to Sevenoaks, where he pro posed setting up as a butcher, but was unable to carry his intentions out in consequence of his credit getting into disrepute. In order to celebrate his marriage he obliged to .have recourse to Mr. Vale, of Tokenhouse yard, an acquaintance of his father's, who then lent him the sum of money he required. Since then the following letter, in the handwriting of the murderer, was addressed to Mr. Vale, and has been by that gentleman deposited in the hands of the police : ___ "liradburne Cottage, Sevenoaks, Kent, Aug. 9, 1841. " Dear Sir—l shall feel greatly obliged if you will con fer a further favour upon me, and only for one month. I assure you it will be the making of me. If yon will oblige me, be assured you shall have it again in one month from the present time. In fact, it will save me from something very unpleasant. Pray let me have it by return of post if •you can, or as much of it as you can spare. In baste.—Ever your's truly, Mr. Biakesley, sen., having from the first evinced great readiness to assist the police. On the night of the tra gical event a constable went to No. 22, York-place, City road, and saw Mr. and Mrs. Blakesley and their two daugh ters. Having requested that the ladies might retire, he communicated to Mr. Blakesley, sen., the commission of the murder by his son, and desired-that lie might search the premises, as it. was thought the offender might have taken 'refuge there. Mr. Blakesley, who displayed great nerve on learning the alarming intelligence, at once con sented to his house .being searched, and assisted the po lice in doing so. No traces, however, of .him could be "R. BLAKESLEY. " James Vale, Esq., Toltenhou3e-yard." The request made in the above letter was not granted, and within a few days Blakesley's goods were seized, and be returned to London, and for several days both himself and his wife found an asylum at Mr. Burdon's, the King's Head. The mur dered man, seeing that Blakesley had no prospect of ob taining employment, intimated to him that he could not remain at the King's Head, and Mrs. Blakesley then went to No. 22, York-place, City-road, and requested the murderer's father would allow him to come until he could obtain a situation, adding, that she would be provided for by her sister and brother-in-law in the meantime. Mr. Blakesley, sen., however, refused to received his son, or even his clothes, which the wife b egge d h i m to do to prevent his pawning them. This was the only in terview that the father had with Mrs. Blakesley. The following letter will show that Blakesley, after leaving Sevenoaks, resided in Easteheap. The original is in the murderer's own handwriting • found. Considerable discussion has arisen amongst the inhabi tants of the ward, apd in the various places of public resort in the City, on the subject of the easy escape of the murderer, and very many persons attribute that cir cumstance to the negligence of the City Police ; in con sequence of this opinion, a lengthened conversation took place between the Coroner, the Jury, and ?.f.r. D. W. Harvey, the police commissioner, which was not reported in the newspapers. If the following statement be true, it is indeed surprising that Blakesley should have escaped immediate detection. It was boldly asserted that tintr police constables were on duty within a very short dis tance of the'King's Head on Tuesday night—v;z., two in Gracechurch-street, who pass the end of Eastcheap, one in King William -street, and the fourth (whose duty i was to pass Mr. Burdon's every quarter of an hour) ',ll Eastcheap, Pudding and Bodolph-lanes. The la'.ter stated that he did not see Blakesley on Tuesday n;..g. ht, and that ha was in Pudding-lane when the cry of murder' was raised in the streets. The Jury expressed them gelves much dissatisfied at the lon g beats hich many o f the constables had to go over,. and to the want of a suf ficient number during the sittings of the Central Critni nal Court, where several were always in attendance. it appears that Mr. Harvey induced the City nuthoritie - ,; n short time ago, to augment the police by thirty, and t h at he has since given it as hi s o pi n i on th ere s h ou ld be. still further increase, but it has not yet been act' ; d th u e pon There is no doubt, however, in conseque nce o the lain districts, the recent re presentations murder, and tphaeuJe paucity 0 , the f th the police excited ce ce , h that they will be speedily augmented, 'And their beats curtailed. The most interesting information, 'viz., that which relates to the almost instantanevus death of Mr. Bur don, and to the magnanimity an 3 extraordinary presence of mind of his sister-in-law, the wife of the murderer, who was first stabbed, had not been laid before the public. Mr. English, of No, 22, Gracechurch-street, the ordinary medical attendant of the family, stated to the reporter, that on Tuesday night, as he was about to take temporary repose from his professional labours, a party called to say that he was wanted at Mr. Burden's. Thinking that it was not a matter of pressing import. ance, he did not hurry himself, but in the course of a f'4iv minutes seven or eight persons arrived, announcing the dreadful occurrence. He hastened to the King's Head, and saw Mr. Burden lying on his back inside the bar, aid immedtately perceived that he was dead, and beyond the power of human skilL Four or five medical gentlemen were busily employed in examining the wound or Mr. :Burden, and, what was most astonishing, no body's attention had been directed to the unfortunate wife of the murderer, who seemed to be unconscious of the severe injury inflicted upon herself, until Mr. English discovered it. H er w h o l e fa culties seemed to be' ab sorhe d in endeavours to provide for the safety of her broths r-in-law. She assisted in untying his cravat, and gave eiders as to the best way, in her opinion, that he ought te be treated. Mr. English th en di scovered that she . was s.tandin,g in a pool of blood that had flowed from her person, and insntly directed that she should be conveyed to her bed-room. In doing so, upon the stairs she fainted, and the syncope prevented fortunately for a thne any further hemorrhage. She was placed upon a bed, and her clothes having been cut off; it was found that she had an incised wound penetrating the peri toneum, but not into the abdomen, on the right side, through the thin portion of the stays which covered the hip, and opposite to the nether region of the liver. Being perfectly insensible, restoratives were aßcninis tered to reproduce pulsation, and, when they had taken effect the wound was dressed. She continued after wards in a comparative stato of delirium, and Mr. English rem toned w a t c hi ng h er progress during the whole of the night. At intervals she broke out into incoherent ext:ressions, mentioning her brother-in-law's name, and fre piently her husband's, supposing he was by her bedside; It was not at all expected that she would survive the injuries inflicted by the wound, but he continued, on occount of the unusual circumstance.; of the case, to watch her without intermission until yes terday evening, when, seeing that she had slept soundly for about an hour, and symptoms of irritation mentally and physically having- subsided, he examined the wound, and judged froi n its appearapce that it was going on favourably. A Ir. English is now of opinion, though he never thought so before, that she will, under careful treatment, ultimately recover. His opinion is founded not only on the appearance of the wound, but. from his knowledge of her excellent constitution. She was of a clear, healthy, and florid complexiOne-sl-10415 inclined tOebeeity, but had never had any severe illnz.‘ss. Mr. English states that she is now in the 25th year of her age. A post mortem examination was on Saturday made on the body of Mr. Burden, for even amongst the medical profession it was rather a ph enomenon that the wound should have caused almost instantaneous death. Dissec tion accounted for the hesitating opinion on the part of the surgeons. It was found that the aorta was divided, preventing, of course, the circulation of the blood through the arteries and veins, and causing the flow of blood not to pass through the orifice, but to fall into the cavity of the abdomen, and thereby produced in conse quence sudden death. The knife having been pointed upwards by a blow from the left hand, passed through the aorta and interior portions of the body, until its egress was stopped by striking against the vertebrae or back bone. A rough wound, such as would be caused by definitive resistance to a sharp-edged instrument, was found on the back-bone of Mr. Burdon.

I have written to Mr. Saunders by this post respecting. .the cottages. Mrs. Blakesley joins with inc in kind remembrances to yourself and Mrs. Harman. lIAT. On Saturday afternoon the reporter ascertained from Mr. Inspector Brake, who holds the Coroner's warrant for the apprehension of Blakesley, that a hat had been found in the river which was supposed to belong to the murderer. It appears that at high tide on Saturday morn ing a Waterman named Weare found the hat ofF the floating-bath near Blackfriar's-bridge. having heard of the murder of Mr. Burdon he at onze took it to the police station in Black Horse -court, Parringdon• street, and delivered it into the hands of Mr. Inspector Lloyd. The Inspector sent it forthwith to Mr. Harvey, the Commissioner's-office, and . the fact of the finding was conveyed to InspeCtor Brake. The latter Inspector waited upon Mr. Blakesley, sen., in Bitnghall-street, and he tried the hat on and expressed his belief that it be longed to his son. In the hat is the name of Christie, the maker, of Gracechurch-street, and the date when it was purchased, Ist May, 1841. Mr. Christie states that he sold above 100 hats on that day, and six of the same size as the one discovered were purchased, and two of the cns turner's names were not entered in his books. The hat is a beaver one, and Mr. Blakesley, sen., told Inspector Brake that the murderer had a positive aversion to silk hats. The inspector next went to the King's Head, Eastcheap, and showed the hat to Mr. Burdon's widow and her mother, who, as well as the servant and pot-boy, declared their belief to be that the hat is that worn by Blakesley on Tuesday night. The bat is in the posses sion of Mr. Brake, of the lower-street station, and has a quantity of sand and mud in it. A number of water men. under the direction of Inspector Lloyd, were last evening very actively engaged in dragging the river for the body of Blakesley. The house of the deceased re mains closed. At four o'clock yesterday the remains of Mr. Burdon, the murdered man, were deposited in the churchyard of St. Mary-at-Hill. The funeral procession (a walking one) consisted of about ten couples, and amongst the mourners were Mrs. Burdon, the widow, her mother, the deceased's brother and child, a little boy, and other relatives. A great crowd of persons followed the fune ral, but the police in attendance closed the gates of the churchyard against the public. The Hue and Cry of Saturday did not contain the offer of any reward for Blakesley's apprehension, but yester day afternoon the following bills were generally circu lated throughout the metropolis and suburbs. 1001, REwAnn.-7MunnEn.----Whereas, on the night of Tuesday, the 21st September instant, James Burdon, landlord of the King's Head public-house, in Eastcheap, in the city of London, was wilfully and maliciously stabbed so as to cause his instant death, and whereas a man named Robert Blakesley stands charged with the said murder, who is of the following description :—About five feet eight and a half inches in height, apparently about thirty years of age, rather stout, dark hair, large dark whiskers, dark eyes, dark complexion, prominent nose, somewhat turned up, speaks quickly ; dress- 7 an invisible gree n coat (N ewmar k et cut ), black silk waist coat with light coloured sprig, and drab kerseyrn7e trousers, tightly made, Wellington boots, and silk neckerchief. • " For the better apprehending and bringing to punish ment the above-named Robert Blakesley, the Lords Com missioners of her Majesty's Treasury hereby offer 1001. reward to any person, or persons, who may apprehend, or cause to be apprehended, the above Robert Blakesley, or give such information as may lead to his apprehension and conviction, by application to Inspector Hodgson, at the chief Police-office, Basinghall-street, or to Inspector Brake, at the Station-house, Tower-street, in the city of London." In the opinion of the medical attendant of Mrs. Blakes ley, she continues to improve. - - - " I am your greatly obliged, " B. BLAKESLEY. " Mr. Harman, Bradhourne Vale, Sevenoaks, Kent." ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Upon inquiry at the station-house in Tower-street on Saturday afternoon, it was ascertained t h at the police had no t re c e ived an y intelligence respecting the retreat of Blakesley, and hence the belief gains ground that he has committed self-destruction by drowning. His respect able parents are in a state of deep afdiction, and the heartless statement that has been circulated, that the friends of Biakesley had reported that he had committed suicide i n or d er to f ac ilit a te his escap e from jusCo6, has saadry to dedtoadtdheitrhamtenthtael inunuatiOU is tot a ll y groandiese,anguish, It is a l most u3neces- It was but lately that we had to announce the melancholy eeath of the Hon. Lieut.-Colonel Molyneux, of the Bih Hussars. A mcst painful surgical opera ion had been performed on him ; but the disease had passcdhunian skit, and he heard w:th resignation that there was no hope of recovery. With the certainty of imminent death before him, this excel lent man (lid not forget his regiment, for it is said that he wrote to the Hone Guards stating that, as he had never before asked a favour, and as this would be his &stand his last request, he did entreat that the vacancies caused by his death should be tilled up from among his brother of f icers, his friends Tha,. dying request was acceded to, and Major James M'Call is now the Lieut.-Colonel. Perhaps this was the richest legacy which their late beloved commander could have bequeathed to the regiment, for in Lieut.-Colonel M'Call they will find an officer who proves i n hi s own person that the firmness and discipline of the soldier are not inconsistent with the courtesies of a gentle a scbsda r .—. man and accomplishments of Sunday paper. //2, Lord Provost will nut find fault wite me for associatim ' his ' me with that of his Grace.-( Laughter.)

If the misery of which we complain were confinod to the idle, the improvident, and the profligate, we would hawe little cause to complain. Moral means would be the bit corrective.

To a benevolent in nd, I cannot conceive a more melancholy spectacle than to witness intel igentand industrious men pleading for work, that they may earn, by the sweat of 'their brow,.

Such a se -ne is never witnessed among savages, and yet it is a dail ye occurrence in civilised, Christian Britain. - (Hear, hear. Why is this ? Because savages have no monopoly laws, and no. tax ors their food.-(Cheering.) I shall never forget the int p:ession m a d e on my m i nd b y a deputation of hand-loom. weavers to the late M,nisterial Conference at Manchester, as they detailed their sufferings; thousands of them living for d iys without food of any description, and, when obtained, of the coarsest kind, and in amount quite inadequate to sustaita a healthy existence. They said they were frequently cam jelled to eat raw potatoes for want of fire to boil them.- ( Hear, hear.) And if their condition in respect of fend was such as described, you may easily con ce.ve- what must be the state of their clothes end habitations ? Some of them were actually hunted from the dwellings of men, and compelled to take up their abodes i.i stables and sheds, and even others were without shelter of any description.-(Hear, hear.) Were these solitary in stances limited to one town or district of our country, charity is ight meet the evil, and, if it did not entirely remove it, might at least greatly alleviate its extent; but the evil is nearly it iiversal, aid is not confined to one class.-( Hear, hear.) The property that used to be most productive is now of least, v lue. alaehinery, which was wont to employ its busy mil -1 ens, and to give activity to our towns, is now nearly motion less. Capital is leaving our law-guarded shores, and seeking p. otitable investment in more favourable climes. Our opera tl, ee are begging for the means of transporting themselves tee distant lands, and have only left to them the alternative of dying; of starvation at home, or subjecting themselves to the second pen-- aty in our criminal code. In the meantime many are dying of starvation-and others are forced to steal, that they may prolong an existence wh:ch deepening misery only still more embitters. We are actually experiencing all the horrors of famine in the: midst of plenty. This is a state of things which cannot last. A crisis has come.-(Cheers.) The cloud has been long" en lecting-it has been dark.ming for years, and it is now tun: os gloom.

If it is to be dispelled, prompt itect active measures trust be taken. There is no time fur trilling. The air of commerce is stagnant, unwholesome, and. I regnant with ruin. Let the breeze of free trade but once aeitste it, and its gloom will dispel, and the bright sunshine of prosperity irradiate the land.-( (sheers. ) It is well that the ee.fering is not limited to operatives alone. Ido not say this horn swish to see the rich made poor, but from the fact that, as the operatives are net represented in Parliament, their voice is little regarded, and, from the selfishness of our nature, when we ate well ourselves, we are apt to overlook the sufferings of others. But fellowship in suffering produces common sym pit hy.-(Cheers.) And cow, though most unhappily its one sense, y, t most fortunately in another, the suffering is so ge neral, that we may hi:ye, from the combined exertions of mil- Lons, speedy redress.-(Cheers.) Let Britons once be ar ,used, and, wealthy and powerful though the spoilers be, they shall, howevetereluctantly, be forced to let go their prey. (Cheering.) Let the people have work, and good wages, and plenty of cheap food, and it will be a comparatively easy matter to elevate their moral condition; subject them to misery and want, and their hearts become hardened, callous, and indiffe rent. To offer them the bread of life, while you leave them to starve, is not only to mock them, but to insult the Author of Christianity. While the temporal circumstances of the people, are desperate, you must, in spite of all exertions to the con trary, expect to see them sinking in the scale of ignorance, vice, i religion, and crime.
