SHANGHAE, SETT: 16.

Black Teas.—About 80 chops Of Congous have been
settled since-our last (July 30), at 11 to 12 tales for Ho
Howe, and 131 to 16 taels for ,Monings. The unsold
stock is about 1,000 packages, and of Souchongs about
5,000 packages.
Green Teas.—A very extensive business has been done
in these since our last; 180,000 packages have been
taken, of which 140,000 are for United States, 30,090
for England, and 10,000 for Sydney. Prices may be
quoted : •
Hyson 16 t 6 28 ; Hyson Skin,. 11 to 16 ; Young
Hyson, 14 to 35 ; Twanka.y, 13 to 20.; Imperial, 16 to
28 ; and Gunpowder, 19 to 36 taels per picul.
Silk.—There has been a good deal of business done
since our last report, comprising a period of six weeks ;
but after the arrival of the July mail purchases were
checked for a time, and stock in, native hands gradually
increasing, reduced rates were submitted to. But even
at these lower prices no very extensive transactions have
taken place. The total settlements of new silk to date
we estimate at fall 16,500 bales, against 7,500 last year;
and the export since Ist July is 13,500 bales, to which
may be added about 1,400 bales of new silk hipped at
the end of last season. The unsold stock is said to be
about 3,000 bales.
Opium.--Malwa.—Our last was under date 31st 31st
of July, from which time till about the middle of August,
the demand was very steady for Malwa at 496 doll. to
495 dole., and then improved almost daily till the 20th,
when heavy clearances were made at 505 dole. A very
unexpected start then took prices up to 520 dole. Here,
however, the demand ceased, and up to the 31st little or
nothing was done, quotation then nominal, 510 dole. to
520 dole. At these figures some little business took
place during the earlier part of the month, but lately
there has been hardly any inquiry, and to-day the quo-
tation has declined to 505 dols.' to 510 dole. The de-
liveries since the Ist of August are estimated at 3,000
chests, and the stock now at Woosung is 2,800 chests.
Patna.—Quoted in cur last 545 dole. to 548 dole con-
tinued pretty steady until about the 16th to the 18th,
when it improved, and has since constantly fluctuated
between 560 dole. to 580 dole. To-day's quotation is
582 dole. for high numbers.
Exchange.—On London at six months' sight clean
credits, 5s 04d to 5s Id. Bank -Post Bills, .5s lid.
Document Bills, 5s lid. East India Company's Bills
accepted rupees 239 per 100, dole. Drafts on Canton,
10 days' sight,-2 per cent. premium, added on sh. dole.
Freights.—To England 2/. to 2/. 10s for tea, and 3/.
to 3/. lOs for silk. To America, 9 doll. to 10 dole. for
40 cubic feet.
Sycee.-136 dole. 25c. per 100 tads.
Gold.—Bars, 196 dole. per 9t. 7m. 3c.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF,

MISS WOOLGAR'S BENEFIT.—This most popular and
accomplished actress has announced her benefit for to-
morrow evening at the Adelphi Theatre, of which she has
been for several seasons the most useful and brilliant orna-
ment. The pieces are—" The Flowers of the Forest,"
"Mephistopheles," and "A Wife for a Day." We have
no doubt that the attendance will be fully commensurate
with the merits of this charming artist.
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—Major
General the Hon. George Anson, M.P., has been elected to
succeed Mr. Glyn as the Chairman of the London and

BRAZILS.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Rio what at pre-
sent attracts most attention is the Convenio, which
will cause no slight wonderment and indignation
at home. The Convenio is an attempt on the part
of the shopkeepers, who have dealings with the
interior, to prevent importers selling their mer-
chandise except to parties established in this city,
and causes great excitement. The dissenting En-
glish and French houses having failed to come to
some understanding with the anti-free-trade dealers,
have announced iu their public papers that their
stores are open to all classes of purchasers. This
step will, no doubt, have the speedy effect of
breaking up this dictatorial league.
We have no yellow fever now in Rio de Janeiro.
The English vessels of war in port are—Boneta,
Centaur, Herald, Torch, and Trincomalee.

REVOLUTION AT BUENOS AYRES.—On the 11th
of September, while General Urquiza, provisional
director of the Argentine Confederation, was on his
way to Santa Fe, with Sir Charles Hotham, the
Buenos Ayrean party, consisting ehieflyof members
of the Parliament which Urquiza lately dissolved,
seized upon the Government. By this coup d'etat
the Buenos Ayreans get rid of an Administration
disposed to govern less for their province than for
the whole state, and hope to avoid the National
Convention, which might have limited their future
influence over the general direction of the republic.
No blood has been shed, General Urquiza pre-
ferring to leave Buenos Ayres rather than sacrifice
human life. But although Urquiza has thus retired
from Buenos Ayres, he has not resigned the di-
rection of the Confederation. In consequence of
these proceedings the late Chamber of Representa-
tives assembled in the forenoon, and, having recog-
nized the movement, declared themselves reinstalled,
and elected General Pinto, Governor of the pro-
vince, who has named Dr. Alsina, Minister-General.
In the evening of the 11th a proclamation, signed
Manuel G. Pinto, appointed Dr. Francisco de las
Carreras to the Ministry of Finance, and Don Jose
Maria Piran to that of war. A dispatch was sub-
sequently received from Urquiza, in which he
gave a tacit approval to the movement, and ap-
pointed Colonel Baez, to act in his behalf with the
new Government.
The Provisional National Administration not
having been assumed by the Buenos Ayreans, the
new Government has only a provisional character,
and cannot deal with international questions ; hence
the work of opening the navigation of the great
rivers has yet to be begun. The new executive had
, sent a message to the Chamber of Representatives
with the draft of a law opening the Parana under
regulations to be agreed upon with the littoral
provinces.

WOODWIN'S SOIREES COMIQIIES.—No entertainment
submitted of late years to the London public, has attained
a more speedy or merited popularity than Mr. Woodwin 's
" Carpet-bag and Sketch-book," which draws nightly a
fashionable and full attendance at the Royal Marionette
Theatre. The extraordinary versatility of the monologist,
the rapidity of his transformations, and the variety of
amusing characters he personates, render an evening's visit
to this elegant Salle, one of the most thoroughly enjoyable
Lions of the metropolis. Mr. Woodwin is an artist of
singularly comic power, totally free from exaggeration or
buffoonery. Among his best delineations are the imita-
tions of several of our most celebrated actors, which he
gives with extreme fidelity and effect. The large amount
of patronage bestowed on his unique display of talent, is
enunontly de:lands

THE LATE MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE

AT CHELSEA.

INQUEST (THIS DAY).
This morning Mr. Wakley held an inquest in the
Chelsea workhouse on Sarah Bean, aged 60, and Char-
lotte Cook, aged 55, the unfortunate women that met
with their death at Chelsea College on Saturday. The
bodies having been viewed, the following evidence was
given :
James Bean of North Cumberland-mews, Bryanston-
square, identified the body of Sarah Bean as that of his
mother ; she left home well on Saturday morning in a
brougham to visit Chelsea College, accompanied by two
friends. Witness did not see her again until he recog-
nized her lifeless body in the dead-house. Deceased
was a very nervous person, and easily frightened.
Mr. Thomas Ballard, surgeon, deposed that he was in
the crowd at Chelsea Hospital on Saturday, when about
half-past eleven deceased was dragged from the crowd,
apparently dead. Witness had her conveyed into
a shop, and having there made an examination
pronounced life extinct. Deceased's clothes were very
disordered. She had no bonnet on, her mouth
was open, and her hair dishevelled. Witness performed
a post-mortem examination. Externally the scalp was
lacerated, and there were marks of violence on the legs
and feet. The organs of the body were nearly all heal-
thy. Death resulted from suffocation.
Eliza Fairhead, lady's maid, in the service of Mr.
Bethall, of 59, Gloucester-place, identified the body of
Charlotte Cook as that of one of her fellow-servants.
Witness accompanied deceased on Saturday morning to
Chelsea College, to view the lying in state. Witness
lost deceased in the crowd, and did not see her fall.
Mr. William Henry Furneval, surgeon, said he was
called by the police on Saturday morning, and on a
bench at the back of a public-house in Turk's-row he
found deceased lying apparently dead. Witness tried
restoratives, but unavailingly, as life was extinct. Wit-
ness had made an autopsy. Externally there was a flat-
tening of the breast bone, and the ankles were much
bruised. Internally witness found two ribs fractured on the
left side, and two on the right. The organs of the body
were healthy, with the exception of a disease of the right
lung. Deceased died from suffocation, produced from a
violent pressure on the chest.
Coroner—ls there anybody here from the authorities
to watch the case ? _

Inspector Cumming—l am here to take notes of what
is said. _ _

Coroner—l think it very necessary that Sir Richard
Mayne should be present, and that the inquiry be ad-
journed till to-morrow morning, for his attendance, and
for the jury in the meantime to visit the spot where the
melancholy accident took place.
The Foreman—Before adjourning, I think it better to
take the evidence of the witnesses that are present.
The Coroner having agreed, Mrs. Ewens, the wife of
a licensed victualler, who accompanied Mrs. Bean, was
called, and her examination was going on when we went
to press.

The Severn brings Lisbon letters and papers of

on quietly, and the Government seemed to have
every chance of an important majority, unless a
threatened junction of the Ultra-Septembrists and
Cabralists should take place.
M. Emilio Cabral, a brother of Count Thomar,
had been shot, but politics had nothing to do with
the assassination.
Mr. Barry, the chief railway grantee, had arrived
at Lisbon, and, at a conference with the Ministers,
presented a statement of modifications in the con-
ditions of the grant, respecting which the Govern-
ment seemed disinclined to come to any decision
until it should see the position the project assumes
when the prospectus shall have been published and
laid before the English public.
A much-needed decree had been issued by the
Government, requiring tax-collectors to give more
satisfactory security, as a check to the continual
frauds on the Treasury. An equally necessary de-
cree, to improve the postal communications in
Portugal, had appeared in the Gazette on the 9th.

solemn leave of his pupils at Giessen on the 20th,
and will proceed immediately to his new destination

A letter from Wiesbaden of the 22d states that the
disease in the vines has declared itself with great
severity i❑ the whole of the Rheingau. In some
districts two-thirds of the plants are attacked. What
is remarkable is that cabbages, beetroot, turnips, &c.,
in the neighbourhood are also affected by a disease
before unknown.

A feN days since five young girls entered the
baths on the Rhine at Cologne. They were heard
laughing and talking in the bathing-room which
they occupied, when suddenly the noise ceased. The
master of the establishment, feeling somewhat
alarmed, opened the door, and found that the flooring
had given way, and. that the whole party had fallen
through ;,tto the river, and been cerried away by the
stream.

NATIONAL FUNERAL,

:AND IS NOW ON SALE.

ORDERS RECEIVED BY ALL NEWS AGENTS, AND
AT THE SUN OFFICE, 112, STRAND,

London, England, 1852-11-23

GERMANY.

A funeral service for the Duke of Wellington
was performed on Thursday, in the garrison church
at Berlin ; it was attended by detachments of all
the troops in garrison in Berlin, the Generals,
officers, and Princes of the Royal Family ; the body
of the hurch and galleries were crowded with every
variety of uniform, Lancers, Artillery, Cavalry of
the Guard, Hussars, and the different regiments
of the line ; the late Duke's own Prussian regiment,
the 28th, is at present quartered on the Rhine, and
was not represented. The communion table was
draped with black cloth, and the stands of the
lighted alter candles were bound with crape. The
decorations were of the simplest kind, sufficing
only to indicate the event, and, excepting the ad-
dress of the preacher, there was little in the service
itself that denoted the occasion ; yet it had much
interest for the English present. It was a faint re-
flection of the grand Solemnity being celebrated
almost at the same hour in the Cathedral of
St. Paul. It was the last mark of honour
by an old national ally, to one whose name is asso-
ciated with the greatest and most united effort
Germany has ever made against a foreign enemy.
Of the Royal family there were present Prince
Albrecht, Prince Adalbert, Prince Karl, and
Prince George ; General Wrangel, the Commander-
in-Chief of the province, and all the Generals under
his command, also attended. The English Minister
Lord Bloomfield, is confined to his room by illness
and could not attend, but the Embassy was repre-
sented by Mr. Bligh and Mr. Norman, the attaches.
Mr. Fay, the Secretary of the American Embassy,
also attended the ceremony. No member of the
Austrian Embassy was present.

The sermon was.preached by the Military Chap-
lain of the division, M. Strauss. He took his text
from the third chapter of the Second Book of
Samuel,—

"And the King said to his servants, know ye not
that there is a Prince and a great man fallen this day in
Israel."

He gave a brief sketch of the late Duke's career;
his unequalled success and its causes ; his success
he ascribed to his wonderful talent as a commander
and his stedfast and indomitable perseverance as a
man ; but he was also supported by the conscious-
ness of contending for a just cause during his many
conflicts, and after they had ceased his simple and
upright life, and his sense of piety, were as re-
markable as his brilliant triumphs : he must have
felt during his career that "God was with him."

friends and retain their own places. (Hear, hear.) It
was time that an end should be put to this policy, fn.
instead of terminating the contest between protection
and free trade, it would only bring it to another stage.
He thought it would be better to avoid harsh words ;
but if the conduct of the opposition was factious now,
that of the noble earl was equally so in 1846. The noble
earl wished to take all the advantage of the discussion t•
himself. He was the mouthpiece of his party in that
house ; he answered all questions for them as well as for
himself ; yet he would lead the country to believe that
if his Government were overthrown another could not
be formed. The noble earl answered all the ques-
tions put to the Government in that house ; and
though about to adopt free trade, it seemed that he did
not recognise one of its leading principles, namely, the
division of labour. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
The Earl of DERBY said he did not think it necessary
to make any observations on the terms, the language,
the tone, or the good taste exhibited by the noble baron.
Now, after thirty years, he was sorry to say, of parlia-
mentary experience, he was not now going to defend his
conduct from imputations which were utterly unworthy
of the noble baron. The noble baron would give him
leave to say that he thought he was himself the best
judge of the conduct he should pursue, and that he would
not learn from him the mode in which his personal
honour and conduct was to be regulated. (Laughter.)
With regard to the observations of the noble marquis,
he begged leave to say that the Government had decided
on the amendment they proposed solely in consequence
of the motion on the other side, and that .they had not
taken that course spontaneously. He still thought that
it would he well if the House of Commons, before pro-
nouncing an opinion or a condemnation of the Govern-
ment, would wait to see the measures which they should

SPAIN.

Advices have arrived from Madrid of the 17th
inst. They state that it was thought that the
Ministers who had retired had not done so of their
own accord, but that their retirement had been de-
manded by the President of the Council tha'z, he
might strengthen his Cabinet in order better to
meet the Cortes. The Minister of the Interior had
published a circular in- which he declares that he
considers diligence, probity, and intelligence indis-
pensable in public functionaries.

BELGIUM.

The Central Section charged to examine the bud-
get for foreign affairs commissioned one of its mem-
bers to ask the Minister to furnish information
relative to the state of the negociations with France
on the subject of the literary convention. The
Minister replied that lie had no information to give,
and charged the member to transmit these words,
" Say that I have nothing to reply."
The subject of the extradition of the Polish offi-
cers, naturalised Belgians, at the request of the
Russian Government, is now being minutely dis-
cussed by the sections, where it meets with general
disapproval. The measure is looked upon as a
breach of the law, as a want of national dignity,
and as a subserviency to the Russian Government.

SWEDEN.

The bulletin issued on the morning of the 12th
is as follows :

"His Majesty, whose feverish state again increased
considerably in the afternoon, had another attack of
bleeding at the nose in the evening. This recurred se-
veral times in the course of the night, and hindered his
Majesty from sleeping. In consequence of this, the
Royal patient is considerably weaker than before. At
four o'clock this afternoon, no improvement whatever
had taken place in the King's state, and serious appre-
hensions are entertained.
"The state of the Princess Eugenie appears to be
somewhat improving, though the progress is so slow that
it is almost imperceptible. The fever has subsided, and
there is less prostration of strength."

FACTORY INSPECTIONS.

In reply to a question,
Mr. WALPOLE stated, that a memorial which the
Government had recently received from Manchester on
this subject would shortly be laid on the table.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

Sir B. HALL wished to ask three questions of the
right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State for the
Home Department. First—Was it the intention of
Government to introduce any bill this session, to carry
out the recommendation of the committee on the subject
of ecclesiastical courts ? Secondly, whether Government
intended to take steps to put a stop to the Romish and
irregular proceedings which were practised by some
members of the Established Church ? And, thirdly,
whether Government intended to enforce the act relat-
ing to Episcopal incomes, with the view of preventing
the stipends of the Bishops reaching a point which went
beyond that recognised by law ?
Mr. WALPOLE said the Government were favour-
able to an extensive and decided reform in the Ecclesi-
astical Courts, but they were anxious that such reform
should havo the approval of all parties, and. as the
Chancery Commission had not yet made their report
on this subject, he could not say when the
Government measure would be ready. With regard to
the second question, Government had no power to inter-
fere' and the matter must, therefore, be left to the good
sense of the people; while as to the third question, Go-
vernment had no intention whatever of interfering with
the measures in the incomes of living bishops, but would
leave the whole question as to those of future bishops in
the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
Sir B. HALL, under these circumstances, gave notice
that, early after the Christmas recess, he should move
for leave to bring in a bill bearing upon the whole of the
latter subject.

MINISTERIAL MEASURES.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said, that in
making the inquiry of which he had given notice, he did
not wish to urge anything which would create debate,
or be inconvenient to Government ; but he thought it
would be for the advantage of public business, and the
private convenience of their lordships, that they should
know what business was likely to be brought forward
before the recess, and during the remainder of the session.
He thought the meeting of Parliament before Christmas
did but little to lighten the business, or to shorten the
duration of the spring and summer session—his own ex-
perience, in fact, led to the contrary opinion. They were
assembled at this period in order that the great principle
of the commercial policy of the country should be
brought to a full, and he hoped a final, and satisfactory
result. However, the session being opened, it was un-
doubtedly the duty of the Government to frame a speech
from the Throne which should apply to the whole busi-
ness of the session, and they had an intimation of a
variety of measures thrown out to them, but they kr_ew
not at what time they were likely to be brought before
Parliament, or their character. He need not enumerate
the topics, but he hoped the noble earl would have no ob-
jection to tell their lordships what measures, if any, he
intended to introduce before Christmas. He thought it
wise of the house to avoid any discussion as to protection
on the first day of the session, when their minds were
overwhelmed with sorrow in the prospect of the
mournful duty which devolved upon them. He had under-
stood the noble earl then to propose that all discussion
should be postponed until after the 26th instant, when
the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to make a general
statement of his financial policy. Since that time he
had seen that the Government had announced an inten-
tion, in the other house of Parliament, of proposing a
resolution embodying their views on the subject of
the commercial policy of this country. He knew not
whether by a resolution, or by what mode, the noble
earl meant to bring that matter under their lordships'
consideration, but he had no doubt he Would not object
to state what he intended to propose on this subject be-
fore Christmas, because it was notorious that they had
met to consider what was to be the great basis of our
commercial policy, and it must be in the contemplation
of the noble earl to take the sense of that as well as the
other house of Parliament previous to the recess. The
sentence in which her Majesty alluded to the subject
also referred to the discovery of gold, but the question
of free trade rested on a great principle, which was not
to be affected by the accidental discovery of gold in one
part of the world or another, or a sudden impulse of
emigration in one year more than another—(hear, hear)
it must be settled finally and firmly upon a steady and
'sound theory. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of DERBY—The question put to me is one
of considerable importance, and I shall endeavour to
give my answer as briefly as I can ; but in replying to a

airpose, would meet with the general approval of the
House.
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to approve of the
suggestion.
Sir J. WALMSLEY intimated that he would, under
the circumstances, abandon the motion.
The motion for "a call " was then, by leave, with-
drawn.

who was prevented from attending

that the house be called over.

Sir R. H. INGLIS objected to

there great were many members who had had no notice what-
ever of the proposed call. • with It was not carried till a late
hour on Friday ' and
which they possessed for the transmission of intelligence,
it was •
physically impossible that all members could have
been made acquainted withthe motion. •
But if-they en-
forced the attendance of all the 654 members that com-
prised the present house, they had no power to make them
vote to-morrow, and the motion, if carried, would prove
useless. He should therefore take the sense of the house
upon it.
Mr. COBDEN thought there might be a good deal
said on both sides of the question. The right hon. gen-
tleman observed that though the house might compel
all the members to attend to-morrow, they could not
force them to vote, meaning, probably, that some would
run away, for that was the suspicion which he raised,
(Laughter, and "Oh.") Seeing, however, that the
motion of the hon. member for Montrose had been com-
pletely successful, he would recommend that the motion
now before the house should be withdrawn.
Mr. WALPOLE said he was one of those who voted
for the "call," as proposed by Mr. Hume, who held an
important position in the house, and who thought it was
desirable to have as large an attendance as possible on
so important a question, and especially as it was mainly
directed against her Majesty's present Government ; but
he so entirely agreed with the observations of the
hon. member for the West Riding, that he thought the

WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.

Sir DE L. EVANS asked the First Commissioner of
Woods what the definite intentions of Government were
as to the removal, or the contrary, of the buildings on
either side of Bridge-street, Westminster-bridge ; and, if
one] or both sides of that street be intended to be re-
moved, at what period it might be intended to carry the
same into effect.

Lord G. MANNERS said it was the intention of the
Government to introduce a measure this session for the
erection of a new bridge at Westminster. The houses on
the north side of the river belonged to the bridge com-
missioners, and the leases of all would shortly expire.
As regarded the south side, the purchase of the leases
would be so very expensive an affair, that the Govern-
ment did not contemplate their removal, they being not
necessarily connected with the scheme.

PETITIONS.

Sir H. INGLIS presented a petition from Lancashire
against the Maynooth grant, and'against the interference
of the Roman Catholic priests at elections.
Lord D. STUART presented three petitions from the
metropolis, praying for the interference of the house to
obtain the liberation of Edward Murray, who had been
sentenced to imprisonment in the galleys for life by the
Papal authorities at Rome.
Sir W. MOLESWORTH presented a petition from
the Australian colonies, praying for the cessation of
transportation to Van Diemen's Land,
Mr. COWAN presented two petitions from Edin-
burgh, one praying for a more liberal system of national
education in Scotland, and the other praying that steps
be taken by the house to obtain the liberation of Andrew
Murray.

CASE OF MR. PAGET.
In reply to a question put by Mr. M. MILNES, to
the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs respecting the
seizure and inspection of the private papers of Mr.
Paget, an English subject resident at Dresden, not by
the Saxon Government, but by the Austrian police act-
ing in Saxony.
Lord STANLEY said it was true that Mr. Paget, a
British subject, who had been for two years resident in
Brussels, had his house entered by the police,
and his papers seized, but it appeared from the informa-
tion in possession of the Government, that they were
seized by the police of the country, and not by
those belonging to Austria. The British Minister,
Mr. Forbes, addressed a remonstrance to the authori-
ties, and the result was the return of Mr. Paget's papers,
and an intimation that the police who had taken upon
themselves the seizure in question had received a severe
reprimand.
Mr- SPOONER gave notice, that immediately after
the Christmas recess he would move that the house re-
solve itself into a committee of the whole house, to con-
sider the Act of the Bth and 9th Vie, chap. 25, commonly
called "the last Maynooth Act"—(laughter)—with a
view to the repeal of those clauses which provided mo-
ney grants in any way to the same college. (Laughter.)
REPEAL OF DUTIES ON BUTTER, &c.

Mr. EWART gave notice that on an early day he
would ask for leave to bring in a bill for the repeal of
the duties on butter, cheese, eggs, and poultry.
(Laughter.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHWARK.—In the course of the day Mr.
Phillips, the patentee of the fire annihilator, waited upon
Mr. A'Beckett for the purpose of soliciting his advice
under the following circumstances :
The applicant said that within the last few days he
had received information that the company formed for
the manufacture of the fire annihilators had premises in
Great Suffolk-street, in the immediate vicinity of this
court ; that the ingredients, which were of a highly in-
flammable nature, w permitted to lie about in so
negligent a manner, tha danger was to be apprehended
of an explosion, if great care was not taken. Acting
upon the information he had received, he called at the
manufactory that day, with the view of inspecting the
place where the materials were deposited, and pointing
out to the person in charge the necessity for the utmost
caution to be observed, especially in such a crowded
thoroughfare. He, however, was refused admission, and
had therefore determined on calling at this court, in order
to acquaint his worship of the circumstance, and to
ascertain if proceedings could not be adopted to prevent
any casualty that might arise from carrying on such a
dangerous process in so populous a neighbourhood.
In reply to Mr. A'Beckett, the applicant said that he
had reason to believe the man in charge of the place of
which he complained was totally ignorant of the chemi-
cal nature of the materials used in the manufacture of
the fire annihilator; and that therefore he would not be
expected to use that degree of caution which it was so
necessary to observe.

Mr. A'Beckett sent Sergeant Baker to request the
foreman of the manufactory to attend, and on presenting
himself, in reply to the questions put to him by the ma-
gistrate, he said he was foreman at the place in Suffolk-
street belonging to the company; that he did not under-
stand the chemical properties of the fire annihilator, but
that he was aware of their explosive nature in the event
of any fire coming in contact with them in the course of
manufacture.
Mr. Phillips repeated, in the hearing of the foreman,
the great caution necessary to be observed where any
portion of the manufacture of the ingredients composing
the fire annihilator were carried on, and
Mr. A'Beckett pointed out the heavy responsibility on
the foreman in the event of any accident arising after
the caution he had received.
withdrew
The applicant having thanked the magistrate, then
