THE CURRENCY.

A MEETING has been held in London, with the view
of Promoting an agitation for an alteration in the laws
4treeting the currency ;,but as the resolutions agreed
° Were by no means distinct as to the especial object
41.1 ined at, we are only left to infer, from the speeches
delivered on the occasion, that the agitators contem-
it late the substitution of a paper currency for the sys-
t74l now in use. This is one of the evils attending
the discussion of a question of this kind, and operates
48 a material hindrance to any really practicable re-
edy for admitted abuses. It is generally ackowledged
4 monetary difficulties of no ordinary kind exist,

41Tosed by the Act of 1844. It has been shown that

oue of the readers of the 14iverpool Scripture Readers' Society,
said attached to St. Anne's district, was presented with

ConziTY COURT.—Yesterday, ',in an application for a ,r♦ew
trial, the Judge condemned, in atrong terms, the conduct.of
an attorney who had, he said, for the first time in his (the
Judge's) experience or knowledge, taken upon himself to in-
struct the judge, and had referred to some authorities for the
view of the law which he (the attorney) took. Such a course
was, in the highest degree, improper, The law, his Honour
said, propounded by the attorney, was as had as the mode was
irregular. He trusted lie never should hare a similar appli-
cation.

By the Coroner : After you had your supper, and saw your
Another put that porter into timsaucepan,,did you go out F—No.
Mrs. Dickenson, and a person named Elizabeth Davies, gave
evidence, after which the prisoner was asked if he had any-
thing to say. He said he had been married ki3 years, and had
acted most kindly to his wife, and she to him. With respect
to what had been found in her stomach, he knc w nothing
about it.

CHANDELiEas.—Those who, in purchasing, wish to avail
themselves of the choice of a large and elegant stock of
chandeliers, for gas or eil, would do well to visit the establish.
ment of Mr. F. L. Hausburg, in Church-street, so ►-ell and so
favourably known for the great extent and tasteful beauty of
his collection. It embraces a choice variety in every style of
artistic finish and design, and as the proprietor is desirous of
curtailing some of the branches of his business, lie offers
metal and glass chandeliers, hall and vestibule lamps, brackets,
gas-pillars, and stair lamps of the most recherche patterns,
and the most unquestionable excellence of workmanship, at
prices unprecedentedly low, and offers an opportunity such as
may never occnr again for purchasing such articles. As a
mere exhibition, Mr. Hausburg's collection is well deserving
of a visit from connoisseurs in art.
LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.—The fifth or-
dinary meeting of the above society was held last evening, at
the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street ; Dr. Ilme in the chair.
Dr. Thomson referred to the investigations of the Liverpool
Compass Committee ; and the arrangements made for the
scientific voyage of the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, on board the
Royal Charter, to Australia. The paper for the evening was
read by Robert WAndrew, Esq., F.R.S., F.L.S., President of
the Society. The Rev. H. Higgins passed a warm eulogiuni
on the paper, for which he thought the society would feel
deeply obliged to the author. Several questions relative to the
Paper were then put to Mr, M'Andrew, after which the meet-
ing separated,

ckrAz6o or BioANty.—At the Police-court yesterday, Mar
garet Ferguson was charged with bigamy, in having married
one John Clarke, her husband being then alive. Evidence of
the first marriage was given ; also, that she had, at St. Mar-
tin's Church. in this town, married Clarke. After their
marriage, the prisoner told Clarke that she had lived with a
man named Ferguson, but he was dead. The prisoner, in her
defence, said she was married to a person of a different per-
suasion, and she never considered it a lawful marriage. Her
husband left her with a family of small children, with nothing
to support them. They had been separated twice by order of
Mr. Mansfield, and he had been committed to gaol. She
could also prove, she said, that she had received a letter con-
taining the news that be had been drowned in the Caledonian
Canal. The magistrate committed the prisoner for trial at
the next assizes, but admitted her to bail—herself in £4O, and
two sureties of £2O each.
LECTURE ON THE AUSTRIAN CONCORDAT.--A lecture on
this subject was delivered last night, in the Clayton hall, by
the Rev. Dr. Taylor, in connection with the Working Men's
Protestant Reformation Society. The Hall was crowded in
every part ; and the reverend lecturer, in an eloquent address,
which took him two hours to deliver, examined, with great
minuteness and ability, the different articles which constitute
the concordat, and pointed out that in each of them the
animus of Popery was clearly manifested in its antagonism to
popular liberty, to religious and civil freedom, to pure
morals and true religion. He gave a succinct but striking
illustration of what may be expected from its future opera-
tions by reference to the past. The lecture was much and
frequently applauded. At its conclusion a vote of thanks,
proposed by Mr. J. Shaw, and seconded by Mr. Worrall, to
the Rev. Dr. Taylor for his able lecture, was passed with accla-
mation. The doxology was then sung and the meeting
broke up,

Mr. Dodd then addressed the jury for Mr. Merchant, saying
there was so ground whatever for suspecting him, as he had
always lived on the best terms with his wife, and being a man
getting in years could have no possible motive for wishing to
get rid of her. Besides, it had been proved he dearly loved
his child ; and was it to be supposed that he would stand by
and see his wife giving a poisoned cup to his child ?
The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a ver-
dict, "That the deceased came to her death in consequence
of taking metallic poison, but how administered there was no
evidence to show."

WooL.--The market has been rather more animated
during the past week, and a fair business has been
done in every deseription of good, elean, useful Wools,
at rather improved rates. Egyptian, fine Turkey,
Sfax, &e,, have been much sought after, and late ar-
rivals have sold freely, There is also rather more
inquiry for Donskoi fleece. In low Smyrna, Barbary,
&c., there is nothing doing ; and, indeed, manufac-
turers would not buy these descriptions even at a
considerable reduction from the prices now asked.
Imports for the week, 4,029 bales Mediterranean,
2,091 Peruvian, 199 Iceland, 45 Buenos Ayres, 19
Irish, 8 Scotch, and 19 coastwise ; total, 6,410.
METALS.---There is no change to notice in this market
with the exception of Pig Iron, which, towards the
close of the week, became very buoyant, and a very
large amount of business was done at 795, per ton
cash, and 80s. open.

STEALING BEEP.—Susan Hare, a miserable-looking woman,
with a child in her arms, was yesterday charged, at the
Police-court, with stealing a piece of beef from a stall in St.
James's Market. The prosecutor said that he missed the
beef, ran after the woman, and found it in her possession.
The prisoner had been before the court previously. The
magistrate said, to give the prisoner a chance of mending her
course of life, he would only sentence her to seven days' im-
prisonment.
