You must understand, Sir, that I have for the last four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my 69th year) that it was the decay of Nature, and was advised by a friend, who said so much in its favour, and the extraordinary virtue s of your invention, I was induced to give it a trial, and lam happy to say that the great and signal benefit I have de rived from the use of four of your 2s. 4d. canisters has enables me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign virtues, m that y gratitude s h a ll ever b e ev i nced i n recommending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT. By the plan exclusively developed by this Society, a single Deferred Annuity is made, nGt only to answer the same object, but to far exceed in amount the entire benefit of all the ad vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be nefit Societies, and Loan Banks. 1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is. a week) at the age of 20, will give the policy holder the fol lowing option, at the age of 65 Annuity for remainder of life... ......... £47 16 6 Cash 394 11 0 or a Policy, without further contributions, of 466 0 oat death. Other periods of life (of 50, 55, and 60) may be also taken with similar advantages. 2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a and aim ys available during sickness or want of employment. 3. Two...birds of all payments returned to representatives in case of premature death. N.B. Policies, as collateral money-security, for periods of one to five years, effected at lower rates than are charged by any other Office, (See Tables A. and B.), with option of con tinuance for Life at the usual rates.

This Institution is empowered by a Special Act of Parlia ment, and is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life As surance, in their fullest extent, to Policy-holders, and to pre sent greater facilities and accommodation than can be obtained in other Offices. The decided superiority of its plan, and its claim to public preference and support, have been proved in contestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success. Among others, the following important advantages may be enumerated : A most economical set of Tables—computed expressly for the use of this Company, from authentic and complete data, and presenting the lowest Rates of Assurance that can be of fered without compromising the safety of the Institution. Increasing rates of premium on a new and remarkable plan, for securing loans or debts, a less immediate payment being required on a policy for the whole term of life than in any other office. Premiums payable either Annually, Half-yearly, or Quar terly, in ono sum, or in a limited number of payments. A Board of Directors in attendance daily at Two o'clock.

A liberal Commission allowed to Solicitors and Agents. The safety of the Data from which its Tables of Rates are deduced, had been amply proved by the long and successful ex perience of the Equitable. The selection of Lives has been rigidly attended to. Its Funds have been successfully invested. It has been uniformly prompt and liberal in its settlements. It is wholly free from the burden and conflicting interests of a Proprietary. While, from the operation of these causes, this Office has been enabled to economize to the utmost in behalf of the As cured, the Cost of which the valuable benefits of Life Assur ance are obtained, its advantages are by no means limited to this : Its large and rapid increasing capital and revenue have long since opened up, and still secures to it, in a progressively in creasing ratio, all those sources of profitable business which the most favoured proprietary bodies, or trading Insurance Com panies, can command. The important difference is to be found, and to be found only, in the Application of the Profits : In Proprietary Companies their oyeration is exhibited in in creasing the value of the Proprietor s Stock and raising their dividends. In this Institution as the Profits belong wholly to the assured, their operation is seen in those large additions, which, as in the case of the London Equitable, will undoubtedly render a Policy opened in this office, and steadily kept up during the whole period of a prolonged life, a very valuable inheritance indeed. The Assured, if not seafaring by occupation, are allowed to pass during peace by sea from one part of Europe to any other part of Europe, without license or extra premium. JOHN MACKENZIE, slanager.

Edw. Boyd, Esq., Resident F. C. Maitland, E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., As- John Ritchie, Esq. sistant Resident This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life one half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of th'e Policy, the other half may remaine subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision fir his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full premium, 571. 12 s . 6d . yearly, secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., sub ject only to the deduction of 1441. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium unpaid. On the Ist of July, the Board of Directors added 2 per Cent. per Annum as a Bonus to those assured upon the participating plan from the dates of their policies, thus app ropr i at i ng 20/.y a- e ar as an addition to every policy for 1,000/.

THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—The career of this Magazine has been s more brilliant one than, perhaps, ever attended a similar wait in this country ; it has, during the last 10 or 15 years, been' honducted successively by the three most distinguished writers' of their day. each in his respective department.. let, by -Thomas Campbell, the Poet —2dly, by Edward' Bulwer, the most accomplished prose writer of his time—and 3dly, by the late illimitable wit and humour-, ist, Theodore Hook. Nor does itsfuture destiny seem likel y to be less fortunate than its past; for it has, we understand, now passed into the hands of a ulster who, in his particular line, has not only neve r b een eqsa ll e d , b ut has stood, and stands, absolutely alone.

THE CORN LAWS AND COMMERCIAL REFORM. ST. LUKE'S. A public meeting of the inhabitant householders of the parish of St. Luke was held last ev.ning in the chapel of the work house, City-road, to take into consideration the propriety of presenting a memorial to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty will take measures to continue the deliberations of Parliament, without intermission, until the laws which regulate the trade in corn shall be so settled as to secure to the people a plentiful supply of food at the cheapest rate. The requisition was signed by a great number of the most respectable and influential inha bitants of the parish. The room was densely crowded, and a great number, we were informed, went away unable to obtain admittance. Mr. Churchwarden Jay was unanimously called to the Chair ; when Mr. WALKER read the reply that had been received from Mr. Wakley in answer to an invitation ,to be present at the meeting, in which he stated his ability to be present would depend on the proceedings of the House. He expressed, how. ever, his sincere hopes that the efforts of Reformers would be speedily successful in establishing in this country, not only a free trade in corn, but a wholly untaxed food for the people. Mr. Walker, in moving the first resolution, said that the im portance of the question they were mettodiscuss, was indicated by the greatness of the assemblage ho saw around him. It was further indicated by the number of petitions which had been presented to the Legislature on the subject. The number of sig natures to those petitions during the year 1841, was 1,900,000, being an increase of more.than half a million signa tures, when compared with the number of petitions against the Corn-law in 1816, the year it was enacted; that showed that the people had become feelingly alive to the evil resulting from the measure.—( Cheers.) The resolution he had to pro pose was to the following effect:—" Thas this meeting views with feelings of apprehension and alarm the recent declaration of the present Government, that no material:alleviation of the distresses of the country can be effected by the Legislature, and that it is their intention to adjourn all further delibera tions for several months." A few months was long to a man with a starving family to wait for relief.—( Hear, hear.) They had no tax upon bread previous to the year 1770. A tax was then first imposed by a selfish aristocracy for their own purposes. The tenor of the speeches of the Members of the pre sent Ministry at the hustings at the recent elections showed a want of practical sympathy with the miseries of the peoplft-- , - (Hear, hear.) Would they tolerate such a Ministry ?—( Cries of " No.") They would unite reason and effort together in a great national movement, and make known the national will.— (Loud cheers,) They would endeavour to make the House of Commons a counterpart of the national will, and if it were so, the Corn-law would soon be abolished.—(Cheers.) ALEXANDER ROBERT SHAW, Esq., had been requested to second the resolution. He, and every man, had a great inte rest in the question of the Corn-laws, and he would prove that by reference to his baker's bill he now paid 301. per annum for bread. If the tax on bread were taken off he would get it at least for ninety per cent. less, and that would enabled him to save 121. er 141. a year, which he might apply to the educa tion of his children, or in any other way that he might find desirable.—( Cheers.) The distress in the country was ap palling. Commerce was languishing, and manufactures were standing still. What was the cause ? Sir R. Peel said that the Corn-laws were not the cause. He ascribed it to Joint-Stock Banks, over-trading, and m ac hi nery . Th a t i t cou ld not b e from Joint-Stock Banks was evident from the fact that of late years they had not transacted near so much business as before. Without machinery they could not have supplied the foreign market. Machinery was a blessing to the country when fully employed,—( Hear. ) He had been speaking of their enemies, he would now turn to their friends. One of their Representatives, Mr. Wakley, had said that au Bs. duty would not conduce to the benefit of the people—( Loud cries of " He does not say so," and " Yes, yes," followed by great confusion)—and therefore he argued that he (Mr. Wakley) was in favour of the present law.— (Great confusion.) He trusted that he (Mr. Wakley) would have an opportunity of denying this statement, if he could.— ( Great confusion, and cries of " Give it him," " Hold an in - quest on him," and great laughter.) He cordially seconded the resolution. It was of no use to petition the House of Com mons. They had no confidence in the House of Commons, constituted as it was.—( Great cheering.) Mr. WEST, a venerable old gentleman, here came forward, and requested to say a few words in corroboration of the previous speaker, as to the comparative cheapness of provi sions and comfort of the agricultural labourer previous to the enactment of the Corn-law.--( The speaker's great age and venerable demeanor commanded great respect, and he was loudly cheered.) He was a farmer's son at Beccles, in Suf folk. When he was a boy the very finest wheat sold at 14s. a coomb, or 28s. a quarter. Every necessary_of life was cheap in proportion. As fine pork as ever was seen was sold at from 3d. to 34d. per lb. Butter, a pint of 23 oun ces , a t 6d. a p i nt ; good fat geese, at 2 s . 4d. a pair ; and a couple of good fowls at 10d. Every labourer then kept a keg of nice beer—there was then no duty on malt—(Hear)—he had a pig in the stye, and possessed other comforts not to be seen now ; for in travelling through the same part of the country now, there was not one cottager in ten who bad a pig in his stye or a keg of beer in his house.—( Hear, hear.) He was a collector of rents in a loca lity in ths.t district. A great number of the tenants had been out of employment for some raonths, and he could not get the rent. He saw so much of the misery of the poor that his heart bled for them.—(Cheers.) He hoped Mr. Wallet would be called to account, for ho saw that he was ratting.,--a(Cheers, and roars of laughter, with cries of " Where is he ?") A CHARTIST here stepped forward and said, it was unfair to condemn Mr. Wakley before he was heard. He believed him to be an honest man.—(Cries of " Question.") The resolution was then put and carried amidst tremendous cheering, about half a dozen Chartists only opposing it.. Mr. Pa Lusett. moved the next resolution—" That in the opinion of this meeting, the Legislature has the power of ma terially alleviating the distresses of the country, by repealing the present Corn-laws, and lowering high protective duties on all articles of general consumption." Mr. STAFFORD ALLEN seconded the motion. Several gentlemen spoke in support of the motion. which was carried ( with two dissentients) amidst great cheering. Mr. HALL moved the adoption of a memorial to the Queen, praying her Majesty not to prorogue Parliament until the Corn-laws were taken into consideration. Mr. DE LA RUE seconded the adoption of the memorial. It was then put and carried unanimously, and next moved and seconded that the memorial be entrusted to the Duke of Sussex fur presentation. This proposition was agreed to unanimously. A meeting of the District Anti-Corn-law Association was announced for that day week at the Hope Tavern, Banner street, to take measures to commence a more strenuous and de termined opposition to the Corn-laws than heretofore.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—It is understood that the sealed tenders delivered to-day at the Bank of England, specifying the sums for which the offerers subscribe to the 5,000,0001. loan or funding of Exchequer Bills, have not much exceeded 3,500,000/. The utmost that comes to the Exchequer under this operation, therefore, is only 1,750,0001. in cash, and the same amount of Exchequer Bills sent in to be funded. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will, of course, put the beit face on it, and as lie has got something to go on with, says he has been successful in all his wishes ; but say what he 'may,, his original objectivas to raise a paltry loan ef 2,500,0001, and to fund as much in Exchequer Bills; and, after a week's notice, he is much under the sum proposed, and this esta blishes what we said at the outset, that he had hot allowed a sufficient margin for the fall. Consols do not maintain , the price of Saturday. The open ing price this morning was 89g to % for the Account, but in consequence of some heavy sales by influential brokers, the market gave way to 89i, the closing price. These operations for a fall may be attributed to the 5,000,0001. creation of new Stock, which will come on the market, if the funding be car ried out to the full extent, and some parties may have sold for the Account against their subscriptions when they found that their tenders had all been taken. It is is said in some quarters that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be contented with the amount subscribed, which will answer all his immediate wants, and that the Bank of England will supply him when he needs further assistance; but the Old Ley has not, we hear, as yet come forward, and even threatens to reject the Right Hon. Gentleman's offers altogether; but in this we put no faith. TIMES.—As a matter of official etiquette the particulars of the funding of Exchequer Bills, the tenders for which closed to-day at one o'clock, are not certainly known, the cashier of the Bank of England having deemed it right to communicate the result in the first instance to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. Various rumours have, however, been afloat as to the amount offered for conversion, and while the general report on the Stock Exchange fixed it at 3,500,0001., others estimated it at about 3,000,0001., while some, and those of high standing, were inclined to be lieve it would not be found to exceed 2,800,0001. The causes which have operated against the con version of the whole amount proposed, are supposed to be the high value of money, and the present abundance of Stock. Expectations that the Scotch bankers would come forward en this occasion are also said to have proved erroneous, as the rate of interest prevailing in Scotland has been such as to give sufficient inducement for the employment of money there. In the West of England there is in all probability a strong ne cessity among the bankers to keep their funds by them, as them recent failure of Messrs. Hobhouse, of Bath, has in some measure shaken the confidence of the public, and created a run upon many of the banks in that part of the country. A few of the private London bankers (one at the west end), besides one of the Joint-stock Banks, are known to have come into the operation, but in general the city bankers prefer employing their money in mercantile purposes to investing it in Government Securities. The Exchequer Bill market has declined a little since the closing of the period for tenders, as the notice had naturally kept up their value, while it is said that a quantity of these Securities ha ve come f rom the West of England, wh ich has of course tended to produce a decline. It should be observed that the opinion in the city was throughout the day by no means against the ultimate success of the funding, but that it was thought highly probable, that although the appointed period had expired, it could be completed in a few days by keeping the books open for that purpose. At a late hour in the slay it was understood in the City that a deputation from the Stock Exchange had waited upon the. chief cashier in the Bank parlour for exact information as to the amount of the subscriptions, and that they learned that it was 3,800,0001. ; besides which, it is currently stated in the City that the sum remaining to complete the whole of the funding will be taken by the Bank of England. It is rather to be regretted that this sort'of official punctilio was exercised by the chief cashier of the Bank, since it was clearly of im portance to the whole of the monied interest that they should be made acquainted as soon as possible with the exact state of the subscriptions. SUN.—Thero was a decline of* to per cent. in Con sols to-day; produced probably by the fact having transpired that the whole tenders for the conversion do not amount to the sum required by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, ns it leaves the Market in a state of un- , certainty with respect to the course that may be adopted. No doubt, however, the Bank of England in this, as in former instances, will assist the Government by taking all the Stock which other capitalists have not tendered for. Consols for immediate transfer brought 89i to 89*. and for Account 894 to 891, but before the close of business the latter dropped to 894 The Market left off heavily. Exchequer Bills were worth only 16s. to 13s. premium, and India Bonds did not range higher than par to Is. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 94 to 98i. There was not much business done in Foreign Stocks to-day, and prices still ruled low, except for Spanish, which rose to -1- per cent., owing to the favourable ac counts from Madrid. Spanish Active Bonds realised 22 to 221 Portuguese Three per Cents. were 18i, Mexican Bonds were dull at 25i, Brazilian declined to 6;.:1 and 67, and Peru v i an were at 151. Russian Bonds remah.:'d firm at 1124, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were heavy at 51i. In Shares there was no particular movement, if we except rather an increase in Brighton, which ranged from 41 to 5A discount. Great Western Shares were at 111- to 12, the New at 41 to 1, Birmingham Thirds at 191 to 20, the South 'Western at 12k, and the York and North Midland at 231 premium. North Midland Shares were 25, and Croydon discount. Provincial Bank of Ireland Shares improved to 17 premium. GENEROUS CONDUCT.—About a fortnight since a Scotch boy of the name of Macuaillan, about 12 years of age, was taken before Mr. G regor i e at Q ueen-square Police Court, charged with begging. The mother of the boy was called in, and told a melancholy tale. Her husband, she said, was a shoemaker residing in Glasgow, and on the advice of the surgeons there had come to London in order to undergo an operation for cataract at the Ophthalmic Hospital. On the previous Sunday one of their child ren h a d di e d , t h e f at h er was blind, and as they had not a farthing in the world she sent the boy out to beg some pence to buy a candle, and get a mouthful of bread. The Magivrate sent a policeman to the house to make inquiry, and on his return said he found the poor blind man sitting near the body of a dead child, and that the mother, in other respects, had strictly stated the truth. On the case being made known, various donations were sent to the Ma gistrates for the use of the family, which, on Saturday last, amounted to 201. Part of this sum had been applied, from time to time, as necessity . required, and it having been Puna, on oonsulting Mr. Guthrie, Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Law rence, that no effective operation could be performed upon the poor man's eyes at present, the question with the Ma gistrate was, how the whole family could be sent home to Scot land at a rate so cheap as to enable them to have a few pounds on their arrival there. With this view Mr. Gregorie, on Saturday, sent Algernon Smith, the Chief Usher of the Court, into the City, to make the necessary inquiries at the diffe rent staamboat offices on the subject, and Smith, finding that the passage of the family, independently of their food, would cost from 71. to 91, the worthy Magistrate addressed a letter to Mr. Brockelbank, principal Director of the General Steam Navigation Company, who, on receiving it, immediately deter. mined to give the whole family a free passage in the fore cabin, and directed Smith to explain the matter to the steward, who would, no doubt, accommodate them with provisions on the voyage at the cheapest possible rate. The poor family were, o a u fte b r o d a ela a yin v g es a se ll i e f x u - r Leith, in the course of Sunday, by the exertions of Smith, conveyed board penses, he handed over to the poor creatures the sum of 121. l Os., with which the man e xp b r y es e s m ed pl a ey h i o n p g e a th je a u t r h n e ey m m ie a h n t , e a n n t d t ' ook place in hi s s i g h t. b ge e t l o b n le u t n o ti o l p s e e n m a e li i t m tl p e r s e h v o e p m , COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. --After the per formance last night of the comedy, It hat will the World Say? a new ballet of action, entitled Hans of Iceland, was produced with a most exemplary display of skill, on the part of scene painter and property-man. The well known tale of Hans supplies the general incidents of this action. He is a most pic turesque old bandit, with a strong tribe of liegemen, amongst the copper-mines of Norway. His son Gill, a youth of infinite promise in the same line of romance, loses his life in con sequence of having carried off Guth Stasen (Miss Bailin), the fair daughter of an honest fishermen, and the beloved of a young soldier of the Munkholm regiment (Mr. Gilbert). 'l'he girl falls into the hands of the ban dit, who thenceforth cherishes the most malignant projects of vengeance against her for the death of his son, and her res cue by lover, sec on d e d b y a d etac h ment of his comrades, after encountering dangers of a most appalling kind by flood and field, which conclude by a volcano in Iceland, presents an extraordinary concatenation of exciting incidents, and consti tutes the great interest of the piece. Its chief ballet feature consists of a very animated pas de deux by Mr. Gilbert and Miss Ballin ; a second by Master and Miss Marshall ; and a general dance by the whole corps of the theatre. This was all . executed in a most creditable manner. The Hans of Mr. Payne whole thing wasls was got up with aoafinelysavageangdreiamt spirit.presive impersonation.

The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been, either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical pr ac titio ner . Th e prover bi al and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of as doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in h b i y ch an arise f in vestigatingrom certain the s ec latent r a e sourcestje els , can only ex clusivea and un di v id e d a tt en ti on t o thi s d epartment of med i cal practice. The num b er l ess instances daily occurring, whersin mny b e which affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is ne member •f society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all Suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health s h ou ld appear te attack any of his young charges, what th e rea l causes of such attack may be, and thus" he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

SOMERS-TOWN. A meeting of the inhabitauts of Somers-town and its vicinity took place last night at the Beehive Tavern, Chapel street, for the purpose of taking measures with a view to the adoption of the necessary steps for memorialisinc , her Majesty on the distresses of the country. A very considerable attend ance, principally consisting of the middle and working classes, vs a s present, and after several able speeches, a memorial was read and a*iopted, and the meeting separated. KENTISH—TOWN. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Kentish-town and the vicinity has been convened at the Assembly-rooms for Thursday. The general address to the Queen is daily receiv ing a great number of signatures. IFULAIE TOWN'S MEETING In compliance with a requisition, signed by nearly sixty respectable rate —payers in the township, the overseers convened a public meeting of the inhabitants, which was held in the large room of the Globe Inn, George-street, on Thursday evening last. The room was crowded to excess. Several teso lotions were passed, and a memorial to her Majesty adopted, and transmitted to Mark Philips, Esq., M.P., for the purpose of presentation. BURY. A public meeting was convened of the township of Bury by the authorities, on IVednesday last, to petition the Queen not to prorogue Parliament until an inquiry has been instituted into the causes of the present distress. J. Walker, Esq., in the Chair. The first resolution, declaratory of the object of the meeting, was moved by the Rev. F. Howarth, and seconded by Mr. Woodcock, solicitor, and, on the motion of Mr. J. Grundy, se conded by Mr. Fletcher, surgeon, a petition, also in accordance with the object of the meeting, was adopted, and ordered to lie for signature at various places in the town, and to be forwardedon Friday to the Member for the borough, for presentation to her Majesty. FALMOUTH. In compliance with a requisition numerously and respectably signed by the inhabitants of Falmouth and its vicinity, S. Blight, Esq., the Mayor, convened a public meeting to be held on Friday evening, «to consider the propriety of peti tioning both Houses of Parliament not to separate, and to address the Queen not to prorogue Parliament, until inquiry has been instituted into the causes of the distress prevailing." This requisition was signed by 83 names, and the originators of it had prepared the resolutions, petitions, and address, to submit to the meeting. It seems, however, from a handbill issued yesterday afternoon, that some persons entertained some apprehensions as to the expediency of a public expression of sympathy in favour of the suffering classes, lest such should operate prejudicially to the interests of Falmouth in the settle ment of the Packet station, and the Mayor, acting on these apprehedsions, postponed the meeting. THE POTTERIES. Near 300 of the friends of Reform met at the Roebuck As sembly-room, on Monday evening, the 20th inst. After an eloquent lecture on the present injurious Corn-laws, Mr. Hargreaves moved that a petition be immediately prepared for signature, praying her Majesty to continue her present Parlia ment until suitable measures be devised for the immediate re lief of the distresses of the country, which was seconded by Mr. S. Prince, jun., and received unanimously. CORN-LAWS AND THE IRON TRADE. The follow letter is from Sir J. J. Guest, Bart., one of the greatest iron masters in Wales : " Sir—With respect to the action of the present Corn-laws Wpon the iron trade, there can be no doubt of their injurious effect. A very large portion of the iron manufactured in this country is exported to the United States of America, and the present very distressed state of the trade is mainly caused by the diminished export to that country, not only of the raw ma terial, but of the articles of hardware and cutlery—and this state of depression would have been very much obviated if we could have taken from the United States the corn and flour, of which they have much to spare, in return for our iron and hardwares. I should think that the iron trade of this district (of Glamor gan and Monmouth), employs at least b 0,060 persons, and gives subsistence to 100,000 in addition to that number of ope ratives,. -''Their wages range from 12s. per week (for labour ers), to 18s. ' and to 2.55. for colliers and miners, and f or per sons employed in the processes of iron making from 20s. to 303. per week. Boys and women proportionately less. I should think tht.,the amount paid in the iron trade of the districts falls little short of one-and-a-half million to two millions !ter ling per.annum. " I,am sorry to say that at this moment we have a practical example of the fallacy of the argument of high corn ( - riving high wages, and the reverse. The wages of the neighbour hood hare, within the last three months, been reduced 20 per cent., whilst flour has advanced from 4s. 6d. per 281bs , to 6s. 6d. " JOHN GUEST. " Dowlais, Aug. )4, 1841."

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WES TERN RAILWAY.—A dreadful and fatal accident oc curred on the line of the Great Western Railway, within a quarter of a mile of 'the Slough station (between there and London) to a person engaged on the line as a ganger, between two and three o'clock on Saturday after noon. It appears that the poor fellow was incautiously walking on the line at the time the two o'clock down train from Paddington arrived at the spot where he had been standing, by which he was knocked down, and the whole of the several carriages, with the engine and tender, passed over him. One of his legs, between the ancle and knee, was completely severed, his arms dread fully smashed, and his skull divided into three portions, the brains being scattered over the wheels and along the rails for a considerable distance. It is supposed he was seized with a fit, which totally incapacited him from get ting out of the way of the train. He was seen by the engineer some distance off, before the train came up to him, when the steam was immediately sh u t o ff, and the speed considerably slackened ; but this precaution was unfortunately adopted too late. His mutilated remains ivere,conveyed to the Dolphin public-house at Slough. Yesterday an inquest was held on the body at Langley, near Slough, when James Chave, a porter in the em pl o y of the Great W es ter n R a il wa y ompany, stated that he left Paddington by the two o'clock down train., and when it had arrived within a short distance of the Slough Sta tion, a man was observed lying on or near the rails over which the carriages passed. Upon the train being stop-. ped, which was as quickly as possible, he went to the deceased, who was lying between the up and down lino, and quite dead. The whistle, had been sounded to warn the man of his danger about a minute before the train arrived at the spot where he was lying. In answer to a question from Mr. Collard, who attended, with another person, to watch the proceedings on the part of the Company, the witness stated that when the deceased was picked up, immediately after the accident, there were Rot the least signs of any muscular movement. Thomas Wyatt (the brother-in-law of the deceased), stated that he was with his brother half an hour before the accident occurred, and had left him at the Water :plash-bridge, nearly close to the spot. He then com plained of a pain in his side and back. He had made the same complaint before that morning. He was not subject to fits, and he was perfectly sober. Witness was of opinion that his brother died before the engine went over him. He had complained to his wife of a gid diness in the head for the last two months. James Chave added, that when he went to lift up the body he found I three sovereigns and 7s. 6d. in silver scattered about close to the spot where he was found, over a surface of three or four yards, and that from the appearance of the ground he was led to suppose that the deceased had been struggling . as if in a fit. The Jury intimated that it was their opinion the deceased had died in a fit, and came to an unanimous verdict of" Died by the visitation of God." MR. WALLACE, M.P.—lt being understood that Mr. Wallace, of Kelly, was on a visit to his friends in this county, a wish was expressed by a number of our leading citizens that some mark of respect should be offered to him, for his great exertions in the cause of Post-office improvement. The matter was brought under the notice of Provost Blaikie, who, with his usual spirit and promptitude, summoned a meeting of the Town Council, and proposed that the freedom of the city should be conferred on Mr. Wallace. The proposal, as will be seen from the report elsewhere given, was warmly sup ported by Mr. lladden and others, and unanimously agreed to. Mr. Wallace, we understand, hasagreed to accept the honour, and the ceremony of presentation is to come off in the Town-hall, on Thursday next, at two o'clock.—Aberdeen Herald. A TRAVELLING `FONDER.—The most extra ordinary fact on record ever performed by a stage-coach, was accomplished by the Telegraph on Saturday last. It left Elliott's Royal Hotel, Devenport, about a quarter to six, and Plymouth about five minutes past siic on that morning (with four inside for London, and eight out 'Side),,Fho reached the Paddington station at t en m i nu t es . past nine, thuS performing the journey from Plymouth to London (245 k miles) in the almost incredible short time of 15 hours 15 minutes, and 1 hour 15 minutes less than any other coach.—Devenport Telegrdph.

THE ROYAL GEORGE.—In the course of the operations against the wreck of the Royal George on Thursday, an accident occurred to Private Skelton which had nearly proved fatal. Skelton had been down to place a charge of 60M., and was coming up, when the person whose duty it was to fire the.charge, from some mistake prematurely did so, and the poor fellow was in stantly blown up to the surface in a senseless state. lie was got on board the Success, and animation was re stored. He seemed to have suffered much in the chest. He was immediately taken to Hasler Hospital. The scape of Skelton with life is owing to his being nearly at the top of the water when the explosion took place.— Portsmouth Paper. _ _ _ FORTUNATE BARGAIN.—On Saturday art buying old clothes at liuddersfield, under the following circumstances :—ln cr w i l a o() s, i) N t ‘ n- a il s ls b a ro l tg i t l'i l l t lg t b l e )3 f the ' ore Magistrates, and Irishwoman, g the course of her perambulations she came to the house of Mr. John North, of News me, who happened to be from home, whose niece took upon her to sell the pri wmer a pair of old trousers for a mere trifle.

This singular bird is found in considerable abundance during the summer months in the south of Europe, and is not uncommon in Germany. It seldom, however, visits this country except after the breeding season, when, on its course to its winter retreat, Northern Africa, two or three ex amples are usually obtained on our southern and eastern coasts. —Bristol Mi rror.
