In accordance Vtlfthe Advertisements, a PUBLIC MEET ING, duly conve ed, took place on FRIDAY EVENING, the 13th of August, 1847,at Eight o'clock, at the Hanover-square Rooms, London, his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE having been prevented from taking the chair, owing to a pre-arranged departure for the Continent, the Right Hon. Lord DUDLEY STUART, M.P., had been invited to preside. Previous to the resolutions being submitted, the Original Oration upon the Life, Character, and Genius of the Poet, was pronounced by the Author and Originator of the Meeting; after which the following letter was read from Lord Dudley Stuart, M. P.:— _ . " St. .Tanies's-place, August, 1847. " Lord Dudley Stuart presents his compliments to Mr. Geo. Jones, and thanks him for his very kind and obliging letters ; and begs to say that be cannot possibly have the pleasure of accepting the honour Mr. Jones so kindly proposes conferring on him, viz., that of taking the Chair at the Public Meeting to be held this week, for the purpose of preserving Shakspeare's House' to the Nation, previous engagements causing his ab sence from town." Whereupon it was moved, seconded, and carried by accla mation— That GEORGE JONEF, Esq., Historian, and Honorary Mem ber of the Royal Shakspearian Club, be the Chairman of this Meeting. Moved by the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. JEFFS, and carried unanimously— That the Right Honourable Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., be invited to be the Honorary Treasurer of the proposed Memorial Fund. Moved by C. DE LA PRYME, Esq., seconded by Mr. RAM ' say, and carried unanimously— That the Founder and Chairman of the present Meeting be appointed Chairman of The People's Central Committee of the k!hcaspeare Memorial Fund. The following Resolutions (drawn up and read by the Chair man) were then submitted to the Meeting for its approval ; when, after discussion, and a motion for adjournment being lost by a large majority, they were Moved by T PURLAND, Esq., seconded by Mr. RAMSEY, and carried unanimously, with only one dissentient, viz. : RESOLUTIONS : Whereas it is officially announced that the House at Strat ford-upon-Avon, in which the great Dramatic Poet of England was born, is to be sold at Public Auction, this meetin g views, with profound anxiety, even the possibility of the House of Shakspeare being mutilated, removed, or destroyed by the hands of avaricious speculation, when it is regarded by the Na tion as an heir-loom of the people of England L,and, if permit. ted to be destroyed, or even removed from tire possibility of receiving the devotional respect from the future Pilgrims of Poetry, the present age will receive from posterity a lasting re proach which no time will cancel —will be charged with a criminal inaction which no excuse can even palliate. Therefore, it is Resolved, That this Meeting form itself into a Committee, to be called The People's Central Committee of the Shakspeare Memorial Fund, and that the said Committee consist of the following Gentlemen, with power to add to their number : Sheridan Knowles, Esq., Albert Smith, Esq., • Dr. Partridge, G. K. Huxley, Esq., T. G. Margary, Esq., C. H. Case, Esq., T. Tyler, Esq., A. Richmond, Esq., J. Morgan, Esq., J. H. Hand, Esq., R. Williams, Esq., T. P. Healey, Esq., Chas. de la Pryme, Mr. E. Evans, T. Purland, Esq., Mr. George Harris, H. W. Pearson, Esq., I Mr. R. Jeffs, T. B. Lacy, Es q ., Mr. Ramsey, • Mr. F. T. Fowler, 8:c. Resolved, That a Public Appeal be hereby made to the People of Great Britain for a National Subscription (even by the smallest coin of the Realm) for the purpose of purchasing the Shakspeare House and Property, and vesting it jointly in the name of the People of England in the Trusteeship of the Royal Shaksperian Club, and the Corporation of Stratford-upon Avon for ever : the former A..sociation having been originally established for the express purpose of preserving the Relics of Shakspeare, and rendering an annual tribute to his memory. Resolved, _ _ That this keeting views with the most fervent admiration, the Patronage accorded at this time to the Royal Shakspearian Club by His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, which, together with the munificent donation of .250 towards the especial ob ject of this Meeting, cannot but increase the profound respect and esteem already entertained for the Prince-Consort by the People of Great Britain. 'Resolved, That the munificent donation of £lOO by Her Majesty, The Queen Dowager, towards the same National Object, merits the respectful and fervent thanks of this Meeting; and being called forth upon this—the anniversary of th e Q ueen Adelaide's birth day—they are conjoined with the devotional wishes of this assembly, for the continual health• and happiness of Her Majesty. Resolved, That this Meeting recommends that the surplus funds arising from the National Subscription (either from the People, Asso ciations, or otherwise) atter paying the purchase - money of the Shakspeare House and Prop er t y , (and incidental expenses,) be disposed of as follows, viz.: -Ist, To the erecting of a Public Statue to the honour and memory of the Poet, either in London or at Stratford. 2dly, To the founding of a Shakspeare Scho larship at either the University of Cambridge or Oxford. And 3dly, To the establishing of a Shakspeare Charitable Institution for the Poor and Infirm of the Poet's Native Town. • Resolved, , That this Meeting regards the intended sale of Shakspeare's House by Public Auction with abhorrence, and as a disgrace to England and an insult to the memory of th,! Poet ; and that the rejection of the generous offer (at private tiale) of Two Thou sand Pounds, made by the originator of this Meeting—George Jones, Esq.—plainly indicates the final determination of the parties interested : and therefore this Meeting does not hesitate to proclaim, that anv person,_ or party, who would wantonly or avariciously sport with the Property, so as to endanger the per manent safety of the Birth-place of Shakspeare, deserves to receive from the people of England the lasting infamy which such conduct would justly merit. Resolved. That this Meeting earnestly recommends that a Branch Com mittee of this—the People's Central Committee of the Shak speare Memorial Fund—be established in every City and Town of Great Britain, founded upon a Public Meeting of the People, to do honour to the Great Poet who arose from among them selves; and that the said Branch Committee ( w h en formed) arc hereby respectfully invited to communicate (with the result of their Subscriptions) with the Chairman of the People's Cen tral Committee in London. ReBolved, While this Meeting, from its early announcement, justly claims the priority of the first _public movement to rescue Shakspeare's House—) et it gratefully recognises the efforts that are being made by the several Societies and Associations, to collect Subscriptions among themselves; and since all must be actuated by the same generous impulse—this Meeting, through its Committee, offers its fervent co-operation in the good c ause , and expects the same courtesy in return. , Fes 'red, That Subscriptions (either by Cheque, Postoffice Order, Stamps, or otherwise) be authorised to be receivedat the fol lowing Banks (permission having been kindly granted to open Subscription Books and to receive Donations) viz. :—The Lon don and Westminster Bank, St. James's-square; the London Joint Stock Bank, Pall-Mall ; Messrs. Currie and Co., Cornhill, City ; the London and Westminster Bank, Lotbbury, City ; the London Joint Stock Bank, Princes-street, City; and also by George Jones, Esq., Chairman of the Committee, 15, Mad dox-street, Hanover-square; and that all Subscriptions, with the donors' names, be recorded in an especial book for public inspection, and kept in Shakspeare's House at Stratford-upon- Avon. I'. P. HEALEY, Esq., accepted the appointment of Honorary Secret ary Jiro tem. A vote of thanks was then proposed, seconded, and carried by acclamation for the Chairman ; also a vote of thanks to the Proprietor of the Ilanover-square Rooms, for his liberality in aiding the cause by granting their free use.

MILNER'S PATENT FIRE RESISTING SAFES.—We fre quently hear and read of discoveries and inventions that come before the public, some of which are of unquestion able utility, while many more have but a transient practi cal exi,tence, and arc applicable, if at all, in only isolated cases; but the tent safes and boxes, the invention of our townsmen, Messrs. Thomas Milner and. Son, for the preservation from fire of books, and all descriptions of valuable deeds and documents, have progressively attained increasing public estimation—to such an extent, indeed, after the severest proofs of their value in numerous de structive fires throughout the country, as to entitle the inventors to the reputation of being national as well as individual benefactors. A recent extensive fire in Man chester has added an additional proof of the efficacy of these invaluable depositories. We have before us a copy of a letter addressed to the patentees, by Mr. Thomas Haigh, woollen merchant, New Brown-street, who occu pied a portion of a stack of buildings, consisting of ware houses, offices, and shops, in the street named, and also in Pool-street and Pool-lane, in which every other safe (some of them called fire-proof) was burnt out,—the whole of the buildings being completely gutted by the fire ; while out of Mr. Haigh's property, amounting in value to £BOOO, the only salvage was the contents of his (" Milner's") safe, containing his books, a quantity of valuable papers, watches, &c., which were recovered uninjured. Mr. Haigh handsomely acknowledges the excellence of these fire-resisting safes, and strongly re commends them to the public. The principle upon which these safes are constructed, and with unerring efficiency, as we have before explained in detail, is the generation of steam in proportion to the intensity and duration of the fire—keeping the combustible contents in an adequate degree of moisture to prevent ignition. In such estima tion are these depositaries held by our public offices, after their utility has been proved so repeatedly in many towns in the empire and abroad, (confirming the strong recom mendations of our Polytechnic Society and other scientific bodies, after they had severely tested them experimentally in red heat,) that upwards of 20,000 safes are in use. Nearly all the register offices in the kingdom have been supplie:l with them by order of the registrar-general. Oer own Select *Vestry 1. ,e just ordered ten additional safes to the thirty already in the use of that department.. The patentees are fitting a strong room for the custo;ly of the valuable deeds and documents of the Bridgewater Trust, at Manchester ; and every nobleman in England should follow the example of the Earl of Ellesmere, as well as every public establishment. The room is double matted and chambered throughout—the door is Milners' " holdfast" and fire-resisting door, consisting of half-inch thick wrought iron outside—the same as their " holdfast" safes—shooting out fourteen bolts, five on each side and two each top and bottom, secured by Milners' impreg nable lock. In the construction throughout numerous improvements are introduced well worthy of minute in seection—really 2naking this one of the strongest seffe doors in the world—lined throughout with the fire-resist ing chambers, defying alike tire and violence. Inside the room the books and deeds are to be arranged alphabeti cally in twenty of Milners' safes. At a cost of from £3OO to £4OO the invaluable title-deeds, books, and valuables of one of the largest and most valuable estates in the country will lie rendered secure and impervious to any fire that can approach them. This extraordinary door Messrs. Milner will be glad to shew at their works, 50A, Lord-street, where it will be on view until Friday next, at four o'clock. In fine, from what we have for years past observed of the excellence of Messrs. Milners' fire-resist ing safes, the principle of which . they can r ea dil y a d apt to the wants of all parties , that is, on a small or an extensive scale, we feel assured that merchants, bankers, and others who may lose valuable papers by adhering to the ordinary (so-called) safe, derive little sympathy from the dis cerning portion of the public. PIGOT'S PLIEET . Onr.—This ad m i ra bl y got up and in dispensable work now pubUied lw Mr. Slater, of Manchester. It is at once a history to the nation as it is—a great . tribute to commerce and civilisation in England. IiOYA T. AMPHITHEATRE:. Although many novelties were bronght out last week, the public have been graticHd with the reproduet ion of several established favourites. The beautiful and correct representations of the exterior and inter:or of Sllnkspeare's honse have formed the great at traction, cud have been much adwired. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. The city capitalists appear to be under the impression that the pressure upon the money-market is about to de crease, and a slight rally in the price of the public secu rities has been the result. A few more failures have takes place—one in Liverpool, to the extent of .f..-300,000; bat such cases, unlike those of houses in the same position as Messrs. Sandersons, do not really affect the general tone of our monetary affairs. Many more similar failures of parties who have speculated beyond their means, and out of their proper business, are doubtless to follow. These, however, will only affect the individual means of those houses with whom they have bad business. The real difficulty of our position, however, is only be ginning to show itself. Tied down, as we are, to the for tunes of the old lady in Threadneedle-street, the following statement, which we extract from the city article of the London. Times of Saturday, is pregnant with matter for anxious consideration : " The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 18th of September, gives the following results when compared with the previous week : Public Deposits.. £8,749,178 Increase.... £583,395 Other Deposits .. 7,185,073 Increase.... 204,080 Best 4,020,878 Increase.... 20,874 On the other side of the account : , Government securities£ll,636,34o thesameas before Other securities .... 18,740,486 Increase 937,102 Notes unemployed .. 4,372,940 Decrease 193,635 The amount of notes in circulation is £17,932,465, being ' an increase of £91,900; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £8,880,490, showing a decrease of £34,582 when compared with the preceding return." The decrease of the month, however, amounts to £370,000. We have also to take into consideration the probability, amounting' almost to certainty, of approach ing large imports of cotton and corn from the United States. The forthcoming crop of cotton is set down as large ; and the result even of such an anticipation must be the pressing forward of the stocks of last year, known to be kept back. We have, moreover, no confidence in the opinion expressed that the American farmers will hold back their immense stocks of grain. Both must come for ward ; and they must be paid for principally in bullion, whils;, the state of the exchanges between this country and. America is not such, or likely very shortly to become such, as will attract much gold to this country. Upon this subject the Manchesier Guardian, of Saturday, contains the following calculation, which is a tolerably correct statement of the case : " Our attention has been called to a typographical error in the calculations as to the rate of exchange at which gold will begin to return to this country, which appeared in our number of Saturday last. The price at New York of • 100 sovereigns, at kr4 83c. was printed s - 488 33c. instead of .8483 33e. Corrected, the calculation will stand as follows : Supposing the exchange goes to 110— , 8' c, Xl6O, at 110 per c en t. wou ld pro d uce.... 488 88 100 sovereigns, at :84 83c (the New York price), would cost 483 33 Freight to Liverpool, 1 per cent Commission and other charges, ate per cent 2 41 Cost, laid down in England S'4BB 15 S 9 that it would really require an exchange of above 110 t ► bring specie back." A still further contraction of the currency, therefore, may be calculated upon, to take place in the course of the next three months, which will severely try the stability of commercial men. Our cotton market is acted upon by the recent advice: from America, which hold out hopes of an increased crop, and by the state of the money market. Prices this week have declined N. per lb. for American, and id. for Egyp tian, Brazil, and Surat. The sales have been 24,700 bales, of which 2,000 were on speculation, and 3,200 for ex port. The state of the Manchester market we give in the usual place; and in addition we subjoin the following extract from the circular of Messrs. Gibson and Ord, .of that town, dated 22nd instant:— " Our last circular gave you but a gloomy aspect of affairs, and we regret now to be obliged to state, that, great as were the feelings of depression and apprehension then existing, they have been fearfully aggravated by the events of the past month. Failures to an enormous and almost unheard-of extent .have taken place, involving in the aggregate an amount little, if anything, short of five millions sterling. Under such circumstances, it could not be expected that anything short of an almost total suspension of business would take place, and that the ordinary channels of discount would be closed, During the present week, no further disasters have been reported from Landon ; the funds show son►e improvement, and generally there is manifested a better feeling. Still, so great is the prostration of mercantile credit, and cor responding difficulty in obtaining money facilities, that we fear many more suspensions must take place; more particularly, as in many cases the acceptances of the failed houses will come back on parties whose resources are abroad, and who will thus be unprepared to meet such • an emergency. The year will probably close upon ns • without any very material improvement; the ordeal we shall have passed through will have been so searching, that our progress to a better state of things, marked as it will be by the greatest caution, must be slow, but not the less certain and continuous on that account. We have many elements in existence calculated to produce this change, and we look with confidence to its being brought about, when the effects of undue speculation and over trading shall have passed away. The result of our har vest, and consequent reduction in the price of food—the improved end improving state of the exchanges, with the almost certainty of an import of specie both from the United States and the continent of Europe—the probable increased supply of cotton—together with the enhanced demand for our manufactures which must follow the cheaper food on the continent, and to supply in foreign markets the deficiency's of this year's exports—all com bine to place our prospects in a very different position to That they were at the same period of last year. To these ingredients we hope at no very distant day to be able to add that of a suspension of calls to a large extent for rail way projects, as this matter is now engaging the attention of the mass of business men, and will, we think, be so brought to bear as materially to, lessen this incubus on the commerce and industry of the country." The corn markets throughout the country have declined during the past week, and there seems every probability of further depression. Undoubtedly prices are at this moment held up by the fact that large stocks are kept out of the market by various bankrupt firms; and when these come in, along with the imports which may be expected, we look for very materially reduced prices of all descrip tions of bread stuffs. The Bank Directors separated on Thursday, after corn ing to the decision of extending the minimum rate of 5/ per cent. interest to bills not exceeding two months. Oa bills of more than two mouths, and not exceeding three months, the rate of discount will be 6 per cent. The in creased accommodation afforded to the mercantile world by this extension, has been, of course, very satisfactory to the trading interests. In the general discount markets, the rate of accommodation continues unchanged, and the brokers and private bankers are in some cases rather ad verse to doing much business. Other discount houses manifest more disposition to render assistance where they consider they can safely do so. The variations that took place in Consols last week, amounted to nearly one per cent.—fortunately on the right side for the fundholder, prices having advanced to that extent. The market has, however, been far from st ea dy, owing to the aspect o f political relations, which stand in anything but an agreeable position. For the last three or four days the arrival of the continental mails has been re garded with extreme anxiety, the intelligence from Italy and Austria. at this juncture, being of the highest impor tance. Had it not been for these considerations, the value of most Stocks, under the beneficial influence of a calmer state of things in the commercial world; would, we have reason to believe, have yet further improved. 011insoIs for Money left off, on Friday night, at tl6k to I, and for the Account at BR to a.

THE CRICKET MATCH AT KNOWSIFX.—This match came off on Saturday between the Edge Hill Club and the Knowsley party. The Edge Hill first took the bat and scored 80. The Knowsley party then went in and scored 59. The second innings was not quite so fortunate' for the Edge Hill gentlemen, the Knowsley side display ing much more activity than in the first innings. The last wicket of the Edge Hill gentlemen being lowered, Knowsley again went in, and after some fine playing, six o'clock was called, and he stumps drawn, when the Edge Hill claimed the game, as having been previously arranged that should the second innings not be concluded by that hour, the first innings should decide the game. The crack members of the Edge Hill Club were selected for the occasion, and the Knowsley party consisted of Lord Clive, the lion. Mr. Herbert. Pisitrym, Esq., °swell Per Ecq., Geoll'r,w Esq., James Hornby, Ei.q. the Rev. 4r. . M)rahams, and four men' in the employ of the Knowsley family. A BURIED WOMAN ALIVE. " Truth is strange, stranger than fiction,' and the following story is not more extraordinary than true :—Two or three weeks ago the daughter of an old soldier, who resides in Miller-street, in the north-eastern part of the city, was seized with fever, and was conveyed to one of the hospitals. The old man, of course, made frequent inquiries at the hospital as to the progress of the disease, and was pained to learn, on every visit, that his daughter was gradually getting worse. At last he received the melancholy information that she was dead. The necessary arrangements were made for the funeral, and the body was interred in Sighthill Ceme tery, on Tuesday of last week. On Tuesday last, while the mother of the buried woman was engaged in her usual household avocations, the door slowly opened, and, lo ! there entered, pale and emaciated,' the figure of her dead daughter, which uttered the word "mother." "Ye canna get in here—ye canna get in here !" exclaimed the affrighted mother, "your father buried you last week." And having thus endeavoured to lay the ghost, fainted. On corning to her senses, and observing the unwelcome NiEltor sitting, in the house, she rushed down stairs to the workshop of her husband, and exclaimed, in the same voice of extreme terror, "Oh, the daughter ye buried last week is sitting up stairs !" and she went off in another fit. while the husband in terror and surprise dropped the im plements of his craft, with which at the time he was en gaged. When the old couple lead recovered a little self possession, neighbours were called in, the haunted house was entered, ant there sat—riot an intrusive, ill-lrel ghost, but the veritable daughter, pale and thin, but as truly in life as ever she was.
