GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the instructions of the Trustees of the late JAMES BARLOW HOY, Esq., to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on the PREMISES, in the course of the ensuing Month, (when THE ELEGANT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE MANSION is to be sold by public competition,) ONE OF THE MOST ELIGIBLE ESTATES IN THE BEAUTEOUS ENVIRONS OF SOUTHAMPTON. The abode is distinguished from all its contemporaries in public estimation, and claims to be one OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN HER MAJESTY'S DOMINIONS. It was the favourite abode of JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ., who for a lengthened period was THE M.P. FOR SOUTHAMPTON; and it is a fact not to be impeached, that if the new purchaser partakes of his hospitality, and be of SOUND POLITICAL CREED, "HE WILL WALK OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER THE NEXT ELECTION ARRIVES." The MANSION is the commanding feature of the vicinity. The late lamented proprietor, in its completion, spared no expense, and unequivocal taste is marked throughout, and it will soon be perceived that luxury and splendour are mixed up with a degree of tact, rarely, if ever, approached. The architectural form is very chaste; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved gallery, leads to the terrace walk, the shrubberies and the plantations. The entree is by a covered approach. Within the Mansion its ad vantages and capability may be summed up in one short sentence— " NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED OR IMAGINED." An East Indian seeking for an appropriate residence in which to prolong his days in the enjoyment of his vast acquisitions, with in creasing health, yet with oriental magnificence; or to a member of "THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON," who seeks to unite propinquity to the rendezvous and the comforts of a luxurious home, a residence is here offered combining advantages rarely to be equalled, and certainly nowhere to be surpassed. THE PARK AND THE DOMAIN EXTENDS TO 220 ACRES. Portions of the estate may be let off on building leases, at rents producing Is. 6d. and 2s. per foot frontage, and it must be ob served it is quite away from the possibility of interfering with the mansion or its extensive scenery. About 45 acres of the most luxuriant tar and larch plantations, and an equal quantity of vain. able land, forming a small farm, are still available for this im portant purpose; and there are 32 acres comprising every variety of hill and dale, with views extending to the Isle of Wight, while the SOUTHAMPTON WATERS AND THE NEW FOREST appear close at hand. An experienced landscape gardener of ac knowledged taste represents this to be the most beautiful situation in the southern part of Hampshire. It is intended to be a positive sale, to which capitalists are invited to become competitors. The estate can be seen only by tickets, to be had of Messrs. H and R. B. Sewell, solicitors, Newport; of Mr. Peaty, auctioneer, Southampton ; of Mr. Robins, at his offices, Covent-garden ; al the Auction Mart; and at the Dolphin, Southampton.

CAUTION. . _ - _ LINES to the "CLERK of the WEATHER." Mr. " Clerk of the Weather," don't take it amiss, That we trouble your honour with rhyme such as this, We were tempted to string a few verses together. On account of the singular state of the weather. Father Winter, for such a long time has been King, That we almost begin to despair of the Spring. Don't you think, " Mr. Clerk," if you tried the right strain, You could cause Father Winter to give up his reign ? If this were effected, much good would be done, And you'd greatly oblige Messrs. MOSES and SON. Then let us persuade you to make the endeavour, You know, Mr. " Clerk," you're remarkably clever. Tell Winter, the next time you meet in the sky, That thousands are longing to bid him " good bye." And pray don't forget, Sir, to lay a great stress On MOSES and SON, and their present Spring dress. Explain, while the various facts you are stating, That the dresses for Spring are in readiness waiting. And while you descant on the dresses of MOSES, Tell Winter we all shall be glad when he closes. Of course, Mr. " Clerk," you are fully aware, That MOSES' Spring suits are remarkably rare, Yet none can assume, till the Winter is done, The charming Spring Garments of MOSES and SON. A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE," with full directions for Self-Measurement, may be had on application, or forwarded post-free. Lo not be tempted by the trillingriSe in this Stock to sell. Your Stock is now scarce, and remember M. Mon, the Spanish Minister of Finance, has pledged himself to propose to the Cortes a settlement of the whole Foreign Debt of Spain. Is the Active Stock, then, only to be converted, and our interests be neglected ? Believe it not. TOW' 1001. Bond is now worth but 71. If you will but be firm, another month will make them worth 171.

This Railway, running from the Great Town and Military Station of Dijon, on the Lyons Line to Mulhouse (the Birmingham of France), has already been determined upon by the French Govern ment, and there is little doubt will be conceded during the present session, in conjunction with the Lyons Line. At Mulhouse it will join the Railway already in operation between that City and Basle, thus making this route not only the shortest from Paris, but from all England to Switzerland, adding thereby greatly to the existing traffic on the Paris and Lyons Line, of which, in fact, it is an ex tension. Applications for Shares to be addressed to the Provisional Com mittee.

The manifold advantages to the heads of families from the possession of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every house holder in the kingdom.

" b, Cooper-street, 3litnchestei, March 12 1842 "Sir,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re sult of my experience, after repeated trials, of FRAMPTON'g PILL OF HEALTH, and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c. &c., with so little inconvenience; I am, therefore, warranted in declaring thatithey supply to me a means long wanting, of being able to recommend to families, schools, and especially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making FRAMPTON'S PILLS more generally known and appreciated. " I am, Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH." The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re commendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their use, render any lengthened comment necessary ; they are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-known at tendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression after meals, citldiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c. z "7 Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys, will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box. . _ Sold by T.

HAMPSTEAD-HEATIL—For several years Sir Thos. Wilson, the lord of the manor of Hampstead, has endeavoured to obtain an Act of Parliament to enable him to build on the land adjoining the heath, but the Bill having been actively opposed by the inhabitants, every attempt made to pass it through Parliament has proved ineffectual. The object of the Bill was to give the lord of the manor power to grant long building leases, he only having a life interest t in the property. Ile has now commenced, at his own risk, to do that which Parliament refused to sanction, and several villa residences are being erected on the sloping fields adjoining the heath, to the great detriment of the picturesque beauty of the scene.—Post.

The number of persons killed by the explosion of the pow der magazine at Algiers is 88, besides 48 persons wounded. They are principally soldiers of artillery. Marshal Bugeaud left Paris for Algiers on Tuesday. He will be followed in a few days by his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier. The appeals to the Cour Royale, by the Procureur du Roi, against the judgment of the Tribunal of Correctional Police in the case of Walker, Ogilvie, Frazer, Lambert, Peyronnet, and the woman Emma Caye, for cheating with marked cards, came on on Monday. An imense crowd com pletely filled the Court. M. Gashon read the report. The President having interrogated the parties accused, they made the same protestations as before the Correctional Tribunal, and adduced the like defence. The Advocate-General, M. Nougnier, delivered his arguments in support of the appeal, and called upon the Court to pronounce conviction. The Court adjourned to the following day. According to a Vienna letter of the 10th, in the Augsburg Gazette, the convulsed state of Switzerland has induced the Austrian Government to send a force of between 3,500 and 4,000 men, under the command of Count Lechnowsky, to re infitn-ce the Austrian garrisons on the Swiss frontiers. The journals of Italy state that the winter still continued in that part of the world. The Diario of Rome mentions that the cold was as great as six degrees below zero of Reaumur (11 below freezing). At Naples it was at two degrees be low zero (33- below freezing), which for that place is extra ordinary. The captain of the Phenicien, which arrived at Marseilles, states that the tower of the lighthouse has been erroneously comprised amongst the edifices destroyed at Algiers. The light was merely put out, either by the shock or by the stones that were thrown. The glass of the lantern was broken, but the next day everything was temporarily re paired, and the light was exhibited as usual in the evening. In its last session the Council-General of the Seine-Infe rieure had expressed a wish to have an inquiry instituted to learn the causes of the depopulation on the coaste of the Channel. The Prefect of the Seine-Inferieure has, in conse quence, just ordered the inquiry to be made. We learn from Rochefort that orders have been received at that port to prepare for sea the steam-frigates Descartes, of 450, and Infernal, of 320-horse power. According to a letter from Constantinople of the 26th ult. ' in the Augsburg Gazette, the Divan has addressed another note to the Ambassadors of the great Powers, promising early payment of the indemnity due to the Maronites, and that their privileges and those of the Druses shall be I fully respected. Dr. Wolff arrived at Constantinople on the 22d, and was to leave for London by the Oriental Steam Company's packet. _ A Berlin letter of the 10th instant says :—" The great composer, Weber, at the time of his death, was engaged in writing the music of a comic opera, and among his papers were found the scores of eleven pieces of the work entirely finished. According to the desire of the King of Prussia, M. Meyerbeer has undertaken to finish the opera, which will be brought out on our first lyric stage, under the auspices of his Majesty. As the libretto has become a little old-fashioned the celebrated poetess and actress, Mme. Charlotte Birch Pfeiffer, will retouch and so arrange it, that the first act will contain exclusively the eleven pieces written by Weber, and consequently the whole of the music of the second act will be by M. Meyerbeer, who will also► compose the overture." • 31.0 W AND P0Z.1071. At Lewes, George Curd was convicted of uttering a forged 101. note, as far back as 1840. He had managed to elude the police until December last, when he was taken in London. His identity was distinctly proved, and it further appeared that he belonged to a gang of forgers. Patching, Burgess, and Layhurst, the Sussex house breakers, who have during the winter spread such terror in the neighbourhood of Brighton, pleaded Guilty t o severa l indict ments, and were sentenced by Mr. Baron Alderson to ten years' transportation. Mary Ann Hounsell and Jane Gates, for receiving the stolen property, were sentenced—the first to be imprisoned for two years, and the second for eighteen months. Two men, named Walton and Proffit, were convicted at Stafford of poaching on Sir Robert Peel's lands. They had been out on bail, and surrendered to take their trial. Mr. Baron Platt sentenced Walton to one year's hard labour, and Proffit, who had been convicted of a similar offence before, to seven years' transportation, the severity of which created much apparent surprise. At Derby, an astrologer, named Coulson, brought an action against two magistrates, for having sent him to prison for two months as a rogue and a vagabond. The action was brought by a Society, calling itself the Astrological Cerebral Mes meric Society of London. The plaintiff was non. suited. How conies it that these learned pundits did not ascertain either by astrology, or some other ology or ism, that such wouldbe the eventof the action before they went into court ? Robert White, convicted at York of highway robbery, was sentenced by Mr. Justice Wightman to be transported for 15 years. _ _ _ At the Surrey sessions, the policeman Hall, whose case has already been before the public, was convicted of robbing the till of Joseph Dennison, potatoe salesman, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. At Greenwich, James Parsons, of Arbour-square, Com mercial-road, East, was brought up for final examination, charged with being connected with another man not in custody, of stealing 84 deals from the dock of the Grand Surrey Canal, llotherhithe, and fully committed for trial. COURT-PASHIONAZIME. Lord and Lady Wharncliffc intend to remain in town during the Easter recess. His Lordship continues slightly indisposed from an attack of gout. Lady Emmeline Stuart Wortley is staying on a visit to her Noble Father, the Duke of Rutland, at Belvoir Castle. The Lord Chancellor and Lady Lyndhurst and the Hon. Miss Copley have left town for his Lordship's seat, Turville Park, near Maidenhead. The Right Hon. Sydney Herbert continues to occupy his late official residence at the Admiralty until the Right Hon. Gentleman shall have taken a mansion for the season. Lord Suirdale, after an absence of two or three years on foreign service in China, with the 98th Foot, has arrived at the residence of his Noble Father, the Earl of Donoughmore, at his seat, Palmerston, Dublin. The Earl of Hardwicke, Earl Fitzwilliam, and many others of the leading nobility of the county, attended the meeting of persons interested in the Bedford Level at Ely. Earl and Countess Delawarr have arrived at Bourne Hall, Cambridgeshire, where the Noble Earl and family purpose to remain until after the Easter holidays. The Earl of Essex has arrived in Chapel-street, Park-lane, from Cashiobury Park, near Watford, Herts. The Countess and family are staying at that seat. 'Viscount Malden has arrived in town. The Earl and Countess of Gainsborough and Lady Louisa Noel are passing the Easter holidays at Exton, Rutlandshire. Viscount and Viscountess Campden are staying at Portman square until after her Ladyship's accouchement, which is ex pected shortly to take place. The Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane arrived in town yesterday from Brighton, where they had been passing the winter. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry and the Lady Alexandrina Vane have arrived at Iloldernesse House, from Wynyard Castle. MISCELLANEOUS. A notification has been issued by the Post-office authorities that on Good Friday no business will be transacted during the day at the money order office, St. Martin's-le•Grand. The Earl of Shrewsbury has sold 85 acres of land in Che shire to a building company for 35,0001., and has purchased the estate of Cotton, in Staffordshire, with the proceeds. The soiree at the British and Foreign Institute was at tended by the Duke and Duchess of Victoria, Donna E•par tero, and Colonel Gurrea, whose presence excited no little in terest. Thanks to the polite and efficient management of Mr. Buckingham, the evening passed most agreeably. Stockwell-green, a beautiful and open: piece of ground at the corner of the road to South Lambeth, and nearly opposite the Swan, at Stockwell, after being so many years the most open and healthy part of that vicinity, has now been nearly covered with buildings, and to such an extent that nearly all trace of the former green is lost. The large Tenter ground, nearer Kennington-common, is also being built upon, so that the road, from Kennington to Clapham-common may now be said to be a continuous street. TILE RECENT FIRE IN BERMONDSEY-STREET.—The fire which occurred in Bermondsey-street, as detailed in this journal of yesterday, was not extinguished until a late hour, and it was not until some time after that the fate of the re sidents was ascertained. For a considerable period it was believed that all the parties residing in the house had met the most horrible of all deaths. The utmost exertions to as certain the fact were made by the firemen under Mr. Braid wood's superintendence. The last time that Mr. Opperner was seen was shortly after eleven o'clock, at which hour he wished one of his neighbours good night. The supposition of an extensive sacrifice of lite was therefore entertained. Whilst the firemen were, however, exploring the ruins, the proprietor of the building came to the spot and informed the reporter that he had been to see a friend, and that all his family was safe, as his wife and children had gone to a place of amusement in the Borough. Ile also said there was no person in the house when the fire broke out. We are, there fore, happy to state that no lives were lest, as was at one time apprehended. The following is au extract from the official report supplied by Mr. Braidwood :—" No. 217, Ber mondsey-street, Mr. L. Opperner's, cabinet-maker and va luer—building destroyed, stock in trade and furniture burned : insured in the Sun for the stock in trade, building insured in the Guardian. Cause of fire very doubtful. \o. 216, Mr. Benjamin, clothier and salesman—the second and third floor stairs and side front severely damaged by fire; the rest of. the building and contents injured by water and removal. Engines attending—six of the brigade, two of the parish, with those of the West of England and County offices." FIRES IN EAST SMITHFIEI.D.—ScarceIy had the firemen succeeded yesterday morning in extinguishing the fire in Bermondsey-street, than intelligence was received of another alarming fire having broken out at the oil and colour manufactory, belonging to Messrs. Ilubbeck and Sons, in East Smithfield. It originated in the ground floor, in which was deposited a large quantity of oils, turpentine, and other combustible articles. The engines quickly arrived, and, by the exertions of the firemen, the flames were pre vented from extending further ; they were not, however, entirely extinguished until considerable damage had been done to the stock in the warehouse. The cause of the disaster has been traced to the spontaneous ignition of some waste sweepings. THE TEMPERANCE AIOVEMENT.—We are happy to hear from a newspaper paragraph that " the epots on the face of the sun are considerably less this year." This looks as if old Sol had been taking the pledge, and that this im provement was owing to his having entirely renounced the use of " mountain dew" and other alcohol. Let us hope, now he has turned teetotaller, he will get up somewhat earlier for the future, and endeavour to show his face in London a little before 1 or 2 o'clock in the day.--Punch. .., ~~ ./7: (% ~.``~-._._l. ~ - ii : _~...z_ -~`~ THE AUCTION DUTIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,— A letter appeared in your Journal of the 7th instant, dated Dundee, February 28, and signed "An Auctieneer." Before I state something respecting the charges of auctioneers, I would briefly state that I am neither auctioneer nor appraiser ; the purport of his letter is to raise the duty on appraisements from 109. to Si., which he imagines will throw more business into the hands of auctioneers, and considerably reduce the number of appraisers. With regard to the charges of auctioneers in other parts of the kingdom I cannot say, but I know that in ours they are most exorbitant. This part of the country is chiefly agricultural, the principal part of the sales are farming stock, which pay no auction duty. I bought a cow last year at a farmer's sale, and I paid the auctioneer about eight shillings for his charge ; his charge was one halfpenny on the shilling, up to forty shillings, and 6d. per pound on the remainder, and this same auctioneer has since then advanced his charge to 51. per cent. on the different lots, which on the sale of a farmer's stock of the average ratio, say 5001, the auctioneer will realise 25/., independent of what he charges per day to his employer. These fees and encroachments of auctioneers have been very much grumbled at, but when one buys goods at a sale, we don't know how to act to get clear from paying it ; we know it is an imposi tion, but they say it is according to the conditions of sale, and for quietness' sake we pay it. With regard to appraisers, which your correspondent wishes to advance the duty upon, I don't know how• an agricultural community could do without thew; they are the only protection that a farmer has from the exorbitant charges of a country auctioneer. They are generally in telligent farmers, persons of good judgment. In the greatest parts of our Riding, it is customary when a farmer is leaving a farm, that a great part of the manage ment has to be settled between the off-going and the in coming tenant ; each of the parties choose an ap praiser, who meet and value together the different items which are laid before them ; their usual charges are from 10s. to 20s. per day ; whereas, if an auctioneer was employed, he would charge a per tentage, which would amount perhaps to 54 or 101., or sometimes con siderably more. I sincerely trust that no advance will take place upon the duty charged upon the appraiser's licences, as it would throw an additional burden upon the farmer. I for one am very sorry that Sir Robert Peel has given notice of reducing the duty on auctions, which I should not be, if the am - mnt was saved to the country; but the greater part of it will go into th e p oc k e t s of the auctioneers by some additional charge or another, im posed upon the purchasers at their sales; it will be like the duty repealed c.n leather and ale, not one penny bene fit to the consumer. I will thank you, Sir, to give this letter an early in sertion in your widely disseminated and very influential journal.--I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, AN OLD SUBSCRIBER, But neither Auctioneer or Appraiser. North Riding of Yorkshire, March 10, 1845. SHELL PRACTICE ON BOARD THE EXCELLENT, AT THE SWIFTSURE. The trial was to decide the value and practical results of the different fuses invented by Colonel Dansey, Royal Artillery, Captain Norton, Mr. Marsh, and the long-used fuse called " Wilton's fuse." Captain Sir T. Hastings, Colonel Dansey and Captain Stevens, Royal Marine Artillery, were ordered to report thereon. A number of persons assembled on board the Excellent to witness the firing on the different days—amongst whom were the Lieut. Governor Sir Hercules Fakenham, Lord D. Halliburton, M.P., Sir James Cockbu rn , Admiral Dacres, Captain Richards, C 8., Captain G. B. Martin, R.N., Capt. Wilson, ILA., &c. Colonel Dansey, Captain Norton, and Mr. Marsh, the inventors of the fuses to be tried, were also on board. The shells thrown were 5i and 8-inch from guns, the dis tance being 1,480 yards, the same as at the shell practice in November last, but the Swiftsure is now a better target, hay ing heeled over considerably more, and exposing more of her weather deck to the broadside of the Excellent MONDAY.—The practice commenced in the morning at half-past ten o'clock. Thirty shells were fired fitted with the fuses of Colonel Dansey, Mr. Marsh, and Wilton's fuse. The firing was tolerable, and a number of shells struck the target, we believe as many as 13 or 14, but not more than three or four burst on board ; some few exploded in the mud, but the majority did not burst. After the firing ceased the nine shells were picked up on board and live from the mud, which had not burst. TUESDAY.—The firing was continued at half-past ten, and the direction was better than those fired on Monday. The shells were of the same diameter, and were fitted with fuses by Colonel Dansey, Mr. Marsh, and a few of the old fuse (Wilton's), and fired from the same guns. The explosion or bursting of these shells was very uncertain. We believe about 20 struck the Swiftsure, but not more than three or four burst on board. One burst in flight short of the target, most of the others passed over the ship, and very few were heard to burst on striking the mud. After the tiring ceased 11 shells were picked up that had not burst. In the afternoon ten shells, prepared by Captain Norton, were fired with a much more satisfactory result. Of these ten shells, six hit the Swiftsure, and exploded at the instant on board ; two passed over and burst in the mud ; one was doubtful as to bursting, and only one failed to burst, which fell short of the Swiftsure into the water. WEDNESDAY.—THIRD DAY'S PRACTICE; SETTING FIRE TO THE SWIFTSURE.—There was some very splendid firing this day. About 60 shells were fired. The practice commenced with some shells prepared with Norton's fuses. Of the first fifteen fired few missed the ship, and nearly all exploded, though three burst in flight short of the Swiftsure • five con secutively-fired shells all went into the ship between the break of the poop and the fore-hatchway, and burst on the moment of striking. The 20th shell (one of Wilton's) en tered the poop and exploded on the main -deck, and in five minutes after smoke was seen to issue, and flames soon broke out on the starboard quarter and stern. Sir Thomas Hastings immediately proceeded with the boats of the Excellent, with their fire buckets and one engine, to the ship. The ordinary engines were soon on the spot, and after some time the fi re was extinguished. The firing then re-commenced, and con tinued till three o'clock. The shells performed altogether better than they did on Tuesday, but many this day did not burst. The setting on fire of the Swiftsure is a convincing proof of the destructive qualities of the shells. A ship, with her stores and fittings, would have been destroyed ten times over by the firing; but she has no fitting, her decks and 'top sides are half rotten and saturated with moisture, therefore it is astonishing that she took fire. The respective shells were all marked with the initialfrof the inventor's name, therefore those picked up whole showed at once by whom the failing shells had been fitted. We be lieve the practice will be continued to-day. THE WINDOW DUTIES.—Last evening an ad-• journed meeting of the delegates from the various metro politan parishes took place at the Court-house, Marylebone, for the purpose of considering what further steps were necessary to be taken for securing a repeal of the window duties. Mr. George Daniell, of Marylebone, was called to the chair. The meeting was very numerously attended, and, on Lord Duncan. the Member for Bath, entering the room, he was loudly cheered. Lord Duncan expressed himself satisfied with the result of the debate in the House of Com mons, considering the great disadvantages under which the ' question had been brought forward. He recommended the formation of an Anti-Window-tax League. Mr. Michie moved a resolution to the effect "That the meeting, so far from being discouraged with the result of the division last night, on the motion of Lord Viscount Duncan, rejoiced to find that there was no attempt on the part of her Majesty's Government to answer the lucid end convincing statements of the Noble Lord and the several Hon. Members who sup ported him, and the meeting was increasingly convinced that a steady, systematic, and persevering opposition to the op pressive and unequal window-tax would insure its ultimate repeal." Mr. Ewen, of St. James's-street, seconded the reso lution, which was carried amidst loud cheers. Several other delegates addressed the meeting, and it was further resolved to establish a permanent Association and Committee, com posed of delegates from the various parishes, to collect statis tics, with a view to their publication throughout the country, and to form Associations in every city and town in the king dom. A vote of thanks having been awarded to the Chair man, the meeting separated at a late hour. REPEAL OF TILE GLASS DUTlES.—ln consequence of the repeal of the duty on glass, the bottle manufacturers have determined to reduce the price from 425. the gross of 12 dozen bottles, to 265. the gross. This will make bottles cheap enough, and it will, no doubt, have some effect on the price of the cheaper kinds of liquor sold in bottles, such as ale, porter, cider, soda water, and so forth ; and it will no doubt lead to a great increase in tke manufacture. Warring ton is the principal place in Lancashire in which this branch of the glass trade is carried on, and there the repeal will be very beneficially felt in the increase of work and wages. Another Lancashire town which will also benefit greatly by the repeal of these same duties, is St. Helen's, the principal seat of the plate, the German sheet, and the crown glass manufacture. Ihe plate glass of that neigh bourhood, which is, we believe, the finest in the world, will become cheaper than at present, though perhaps less so than is generally expected, owing to the expensive ma chinery and great amount of skilled labour required in po lishing it and preparing it for the market., but the German plate and the crown glass will both of them be manufactured with much less cost when the duty is removed. The former kind of glass has for some time been rising in favour, and as it will be made generally accessible by the repeal of the duty to persons in moderate circumstances, it will be employed in most respectable houses, instead of the crown glass now used. It will certainly add much to the beauty of their appearance, as well as to the pleasure of their inhabitants, as it transmits perfectly correct images of all external objects, instead of the twisted and distorted images transmitted through the com mon kinds of glass.—Liverpool Times. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAT.—It had been an. nounced that the improved second-class carriages, which would have protected the public from the weather at this inclement season of the year, were to have been used, in lieu of the present disgraceful vehicles, for the first time, throughout the line of this Company, on Monday, the 10th instant. It is now, however, stated that they will not be introduced by the Directors until the Ist of June next ; by which time the warm weather will probably have set in, and thus render this change of comparatively little consequence to the E s ec an n D accountN MURDERestiinvestigation otfi ON TH IS which E dwfero P l A ma Lsy eg Y R raevpeo,r t l h L ao — sf E i o ) T u nsi b ei livisa judicial c s . car the medical gentlemen who examined the body, it appears that the deceased died of congestive apoplexy, and that though symptoms of violence were observable on the body, there was nothing discovered to warrant the conclusion that the man was murdered. His hat and coat were found in the neighbourhood, which removes the impression that robbery had been perpetrated ; so that, in all probability, the whole affair will resolve itself into a fight,while apoplexy may have been induced by the excitement thereby produced.—Edin burgh Advertiser.
