UNION FLINT•GLASS COMPANY.
To be Incorporated by Act of Parliament.
CAPITAL 30,0001.
In 6,0000 Shares of Si. each. Deposit 1/. per Share.
The erection of the works of this Company having been com-
menced, the Directors adopt this mode of apprising Hotel and
Tavern-keepers, Licensed Victuallers, and consumers of Flint-
glass in general, in London and its environs, that they have ap-
portioned a certain number of Shares exclusively to them ' • and
therefore, in order to secure the advantages to be derived, it is
desirable that an early application be made. The holders of one
or more Shares will have any quantity of glass supplied full 15
per cent, cheaper than it can be purchased from a retailer or
hawker; besides which, they will receive an annual dividend
upon the amount of their capital invested of more than fifteen
per cent.

The manufacture of Flint Glass has hitherto been carried on
in London only to a very limited extent, the supply being prin-
cipally from the North of England. This Company is formed
not only to give consumers a cheaper article, but to encourage
the production of Glass in the immediate neighbourhood of its
consumption ; and as all the materials required for its manufac-
ture can be obtained at lower prices in the London Market,
this (combined with the immense saving of package, freight,
breakage, &c. Etc. when brought from the North), will much
more than compensate for the extra price of coals and labour;
it is therefore:evident that this most important article can be
produced cheaper to consumers-on the-spot, than when brought
from so great a distance. .
The site of ground selected for the'Manufat;tory is most eli-
gibly situate, being immediately on 'the banks of the river Lea,
at Bromleyi near -bow, and has been obtained upon very advan-
tageous terms to the Company.
In every department of this undertaking, the strictest atten-
tion will be paid to economy so that the shareholders may de-
pend upon receiving the full benefit of the capital' invested.
Applications for the remaining shares to, be made at the
bankers • Messrs: Ladbroke, Kingscote, and Co. ; Messrs.

pan*Offipe, 117,- Bishopsgate-street Within.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS
OF THE BOROUGH OF MANCHESTER.'
GENTLEMEN,
As one of the oldest and most persevering supporters of the
Freedom of Trade in general, and opponents of the Corn-laws
in particular, I feel that there can be no impropriety in proffer-
ing myself for the honour of representing your Borough in
Parliament.

After having laboured assiduously, both while in Parliament
md out of it, to give the greatest publicity to ail the opinions I
,save professed, it would be in some degree superfluous for me
to trouble you with them in detail, or do more than declare my
readiness to explain my views on every public question that may
be proposed to me.
On one point the actual circumstances of the country induce
rue to enlarge. Sharing as I do, to an almost unlimited ex-
tent, in the opinions of the most numerous classes on the neces-
sity of some great reform in their relative position, no man can
substantiate against me that I have maintained any doctrine un-
friendly to the general ord. r of society, or failed to insist on the
possibility of combining all interests in a common justice which
should unite the rich and poor in one bond of mutua goad will
At the recommendation of my friends, I lose no time in pledg
ing myself to 7o to the poll.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
T. PERRONET, THOMPSON
York Hotel, Aug. 30, 1839.
TO THE IN

DEPENDENT ELECTORS
OF THE BOROUGH OF MANCHESTER.
GENTLEMEN,
My Address yesterday was manifestly written under circum-
stances which excuse my appealing to you again upon points not
then within my knowledge.
The Address of the Corrunittee in Brown-street impresses
on you the importance of your; repreSelatative being " prac-,
tically as well as theoretically!! aequeinted witlilhose commer-
cial and manufacturing pursuits on whsch the prosperity of the
industrious community depends.
Seeing in this something like_ an allusion to the possibility
i
of my citing your suffrages, I take the liberty of engaging
a friendly contest on the conclusion intended to be derived.
• The commercial and manufacturing interests hare a hundred
men in-the House of Commons, capable of giving the most
enoneette,.inforreetion-cea every practical que.l-1011, from the state
of foreign markets present or in expectation, to the smallest
pin that makes part of one of your machines. It was not
here that 'they wanted strength at all. But they had
not many who . for fit, een years had battled inces-
santly, in season and out of season, in, print and by word of
mouth, in our own country and abroad, to support that leading
principle of universal freedom of trade, which is in reality the
turning• point about which all our efforts, to be effectual, must
be combined. There is no use in speaking slightingly of this
as " theory." Theory is opinion ; and opinion is what moves
the world. The practical men would have gene on for ever
and for ever, hearing themselves talked out of their wealth 'and
their workmen out of their bread, if the despised thing called
" theory" had not stepped in to show the sources of their
wrong, and rally the masses to the defence. If the question
was of adding the hundred-and-first theorist t o half-a-dozen
practical manufacturers in the House of Commons, the case
would be different. But as the facts stand, I submit impas-
sionately, not to the constituency of Manchester alone, but to
that greater constituency formed by the interested in 'ree Trade
throughout the wet Id, whether by refusing to give the sanction of
your suffrages to one successful defender of the general principle,
you do not do more for your enemies to rejoice at, than would be
balanced by the introduction of any conceivable quantity of
practical knowledge that can at this moment be lacking in the
House of Commons. Believe me, Gentlemen, there are three
or four sentences of what you slight as theory, which if they
could once be fairly fought into that House, as your friends in
the Ministry could have dune, and did not, would do more good
to you and yours, and collect more of popular and ultimately
effective support about your cause, than any quantity of practical
knowledge that is wanting for success. It is not practical
knowledge there is any dearth of. Your enemies fear it not;
they fear the man who will frame the knowledge •of principles
into small pills for the general throet, and mix It np with the
other elements of popular ag,itation and succeis. All this,

BRENTFORD PETTY SESSIONS

CONVICTION OF PAWNBROKERS UNDER
THE NEW POLICE ACT.
On Saturday Mr. WM. Potter, pawnbroker, of
Brentford, appeared before the Rev. Dr. Walmesley and
George Baillie, Esq., the sitting Magistrates to answer
a summons under the New Police Act, at the suit of
Inspector Marquard, of the T division, for having on
Saturday, the 24th ult., being within the Metropolitan
Police district, received in pledge a certain chattel from
one William Carter, a person apparently under the age
of 16 years, whereby be had incurred a penalty not ex-
ceeding 51.
Mr. Potter, on being called on to plead, said, to save
the time of the Bench, be would at once plead guilty to
the charge. Ile, at the time of taking in the articles
from the boy in question, was not aware that such an
Act was in existence. He had no opportunity of know-
ing it but from the public prints, and he bad brought
with him the Weekly Dispatch and the Britannia, two
papers which be took in, to convince the Bench that
they made no mention of any such an enactment having
passed.
William Carter, a boy to all appearance about eleven
or twelve years of age, was then called in, and the
Bench said it was impossible the defendant could have
considered him to be above sixteen years of age. As
it was they believed the first case of the kind that had
been brought forward under the Act, they would miti-
gate the penalty to 40s ~ and they hoped it would not
happen again.
The defendant said he would take care it should
not. He could assure the Bench he bad acted under
complete ignorance of the law, the old Act allowing
pawnbrokers to take in pledges from children above
twelve years of age.
Mr. BATLLTE then admonished the boy William Car-
ter, who it appeared had on Monday last been brought
before that Magistrate on a charge of having on several
occasions robbed his parents, when it was discovered he
had pledged the articles at Mr. Potter's, on which the
Bench directed the Inspector to lay the information.
The boy was then discharged, and the p iwchroker
was directed to give up the property to Carter's father,
which he did.
The Magistrates were occupied for nearly three hours
in hearing and disposing of a great number of sum-
monses against poor inhabitants of the parish of Ealing,
for arrears of poor-rates. It appears that most of the
houses in question are of the smallest possible descrip-
tion, some of them consistieg of only one room. They
have never before been rated until the passing of the
General Assessment Act, under the provisions of which
they have been assessed by the Surveyor sent down by
the Poor Law Commissioners. Most of the sums
claimed varied from 2s. to Bs., for houses rated under
101. per annum ; and it was stated by Mr. Allen, the
Assistant Overseer and Collector, that the owners of
those houses having refused to come into a composition
of two•thircls of the rate, as other owners had done, he
bad no alternative but to try to drive them to that by
summoning the tenants. The defendants, one and all,
pleaded their inability to pay, many of them being but
day, labourers, with large families to support k while
nearly the majority declared that when: they . took the
tenements in question. they were not rated, and. the
landlords 'promiied, should they be rated, to see to it.
They were each ordered (to the regret of' the bench,.
who:said they had no alternative) to pay the respective
amounts within a fortnight, with the addition, in each
case of 255-4 d: for:&meg.
