proved of by all persons connected with the concern.

SCOTLAND.

GLASGOW HAS TAKEN THE FIELD.
An encouraging meeting was held last night in the Black
Bull, James Dunlop, Esq., Clyde, in the Chair, of which a
full report shall appear in our next. It was convened by cir-
culars addressed to gentlemen in each of nine districts into
which the city was partitioned, recommended by a large num-
ber of individuals in their respective districts. It was the tina-
nimouse sense of the meeting that it should constitute itself
into an Anti-Corn-law Association for immediate practical
efforts. Mr. Alexander Johnston was nominated Chairman ;
Messrs. William Craig, Mr. J. Mitchell, and James Dunlop
(Clyde), Vice-Chairmen. A numerous Committee, with
power to add to their numbers, was appointed, but left to
organise itself, and directed to prepare a constitutiun, and
submit to a general meeting of members without delay. A
minimum rate of entry money was fixed. The Chairman and
Committee were also directed to prepare, without delay, a pe-
tition to the House of Commons, declaring the destructive ef-
fects of the Corn-laws, craving leave to lead evidence against
them at the bar of the House, and praying for their total re-
peal ; to procure signatures to this petition ; to obtain sub-
scriptions to a guarantee fund to meet the expenses that must
be incurred if the prayer be granted; and when sufficiently
advanced to intimate what they had done to the various Cham-
bers of Commerce, Free Trade Associations, and Anti-Corn-
law Associations, craving their co-operation. One hundred
and fifty pounds were subscribed to . the general fund of the
Association before the meeting separated. This looks like be-
ing in earnest. Let the Corn-law men look to it :

At the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, a reeom-
mendation to the Directors to petition against the Corn-laws,
brought forward by Mr. Walter Buchanan, was adopted without
one dissentient voice. We do not anticipate much active support
of free trade in corn from the Directors; but it stands on re-
cord, that not one avowed defender of the Corn-laws was
found in the Chamber,—lbid.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

A young man, named Charles Stevenson, was charged with
stealing a mahogany Pembroke table, value 21. lOs., the pro-
perty of John Bolton, 29, Curtain-street, Shoreditch, cabinet-
maker, his master.

It appeared that the prosecutor took the prisoner into his
service on trial, preparatory to his being bound ; and on the
30th tilt. he absconded, when the table was missed ; but it
was subsequently found at Bullock's Auction-rooms, in Hol-
born, where it was exposed for sale by the prisoner's direc-
tions, after having raised 255. upon it, and signing a paper
that it was his oA n property.
Mr. MINSIIULL asked the prosecutor if he had a good cha-
racter with the prisoner ? The prosecutor replied that he met
him in the greatest distress, and he took him and gave him
shelter, from pure motives of eharity.
The prisoner said he was worked like a slave, and received
nothing in return.—Committed for trial.

TO OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
N answer to inquiries from various parts of the
IL country, as to the propriety of dealers who have adopted the
sale of our LIQUEUR GINGER BRANDY, retailing it at the
rate of 20s. per gallon, we are of opinion that, considering the cost
of carriage, and other expenses to which country dealers are sub-
ject, such charge is not unreasonable, especially in case of credit :
and it is most gratifying to us to ascertain that many individuals,
including several of the Faculty, who have experienced the carmi.
native and anti-spasmodic effects of the GINGER BRANDY,
pronounce it a cord,al of inestimable value, and deserving the
highest recommendation.
We continue to supply the Ginger Brandy to families, for cash
in London, on the same terms as our IMPROVED BRITISH
COGNAC, namely, led. by the imperial gallon, (for a single
gallon or upwards), and in sealed pint and quart bottles, 2s. and
3s. 6d. each, bottle inclusive.
Discount for prompt payment only to the trade.
We remain, ssith due respect, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servants,

Some of our worthy townsmen have within the last

LES CHEMISIERS DE PARIS.

A shirt-making monomania has lately sprung up in
Paris, and whoever will walk down the Rue Richelieu
and the Rue Nueve Vivienne will see in gigantic letters,
" Les Chemisiers de Paris,' solely " consecrated, to that
very useful article. The Charivari thus illustrates the
tribe :
A bourgeois, wearing a flannel waistcoat, and carrying
a Gotten umbrella, after having remained for a long time
contemplating the splendid array of frilled shirts in the
chemisier's window et length decides on purchasing one.
A gentleman, wearing an exaggerated shirt, comes for-
ward, and the following dialogue invariably ensues :
Bourgeois—Sir, I wish you would show me some
shirts.
Chemisier--At what price ? We have them from 50
to 500 francs.
Bourgeois—The dozen ?
Chemisier—Oh 1 dear no. Each shirt.
Bourgeois--Diable ! That is rather dear.

Chemisier—Not when you consider, Sir, that nothing
now remains but the shirt to distinguish the gentleman
from the vulgar herd. Every one now wears monkey
jackets, silk hats, and yellow gloves. But a man who
wears a good shirt, enfin Monsieur, one of our most
celebrated authors has justly said, " la chemise fait
l'hoinma." But what sort of shirt will Monsieur prefer :0
We have the shirt with large, with small, and with no
plaits ; frilled and without jabot ; the shirt which but-
tons in front, at the side, and behind ; the shirt which is
put on over the head, and that which is put on like a
pair of trousers.

Bourgeois—Well, make me a sixty-franc shirt.
Chemisier—At that low price it will be a common
calico affair. Does Monsieur wish for a summer or a
winter shirt ?

Bourgeois—One that I can wear either summer or
winter, to be sure.
Chemisier—A shirt for the four seasons. That will
be fifteen francs extra (taking the measure). When
Monsieur walks with Madame does be give the right or
left arm ?

Bourgeois—Generally the right, if I remember rightly
But what the devil is that to you ?
Chemisier—Why, we make the right sleeve a thought
longer than the left, and the wristband button must be
sewn so as to support a great strain. Does Monsieur
ever sneeze ?

Bourgeois—What can a cold iu the head have to do
with my shirt ?
Chemisier—Perhaps Monsieur is not aware that when-
ever he sneezes his whole frame is shaken by a convul-
sive movement. The shirt collar must be made so as
to allow of this movement if it ever takes place, other-
wise a❑ attack of aploplexy might ensue, or, what would
be equally important, the shirt button would probably
be torn off'.

Bourgeois—Diable ! make the collar large then.
Chemisier—That will be four francs extra.
b Bour-eois—And if I furnish the calico ?
rt . _

Chernisier—Oh, Monsieur is at liberty to do so if he
pleases, we shall charge him nothing extra for that.
Your shirt will come to 74 francs, you shall have it in
a month, and if you will call every fire days to try it on
I should be obliged to you.

RAILWAYS IN BELGIUM.

The Journal des Debuts contains a long analysis o
the report of the Belgian Minister, M. Nothomb, on
railways. From this analysis it appears that the total
extent of railway opened to the public in Belgium is
309,291 metres ; the extent now in the course of exe-
cution 43,453, and the number of metres for which
concessions have been granted, but which are not yet
begun, 196,338 ; making altogether 549,082 metres, or
about 138 French leagues ; of which more than half are
open to the public. Of the railways which are made,
three-fourths are single and one-fourth double. The ex-
penditure incurred up to the 30th Sept. last for the rail-
ways which have been opened, and those which are being
made, amounted,with the buildings and materiel, to rather
more than 53 millions of francs, being at the rate of rather
more than 610,000 francs per French league of 2i Eng-
lish miles, or about 10,0001. sterling per mile ; being
almost double the amount of the first estimates. The
number of locomotive engines in use on the Ist of No-
vember last was 82, that of the carriages for passen-
gers 393, and the number of waggons for goods, &c.
463 ; 41 additional locomotives are making, which will
make the total number 123. The receipts from the
commencement of the railway up to the end of Octo-
ber have been 9,221,763 f., and the number of persons
conveyed 6,609,645. In 1838 the receipts were
3,097,8:33f., and for the ten months ending in October,
1839, 3,612,816 f. The extent of lines was the same
in 1838 as in 1839, but the number of passengers which
in 1838 was 2,238,303, was for the ten months of
1839 only 1,694,019, showing rather a falling off than
an increase ; but the tariff, which had been very low in
1838, was raised in 1839, which caused the increase in
the receipts. Since the augmentation of the tariff
some of the lines yield a handsome profit, but others
are far from productive to the shareholders. The con-
veyance of goods commenced in 1838. The receipts in
the month of October, 1839, for the conveyance of
goods were 74,790 f. In the month of January they
were only 7,713 f., from which point they increased r::-
gularly. The report of M. Nothomb shows that so far
from the introductio❑ of railways in Belgium having
ruined the old mode of conveyance, the receipts at the
barriers on the various common roads, which i❑ 1831
were only 2,390,882 f. were in 1839, 2,749,301 f. ; which
can only be explained by the increased trade and ac-
tivity of the country, and the facility of b• anch communi-
cation with the country by commo❑ roads, which have
been brought within the reach of ordinary travellers by the
railways. He estimates the economy of time by rail-
way over the old system of travelling at half, and that
of money at one-third.

H E MARINE OFFICER;
Or, SKETCHES OF SERVICE.

By SIR ROBERT STEELE, Knt., K.C.S., &c.
" Our Marine Officer is a very pleasant, lively, and intelligent
fellow ; and we have, accordingly, great pleasure in directing
the attention of our readers to his autobiography. In the com-
mencement of the work the writer gives an account of his birth,
parentage, education, and first entry into military life, which is
admirably written, reminding us often of some of the best parts
of Peter Simple; but when fairly embarked, Sir Robert
Steele does not eonfine himself to his own adventures but
touches from time to time on most of the leading events Of the
late war—fighting many naval battles over again. For .111a-
rine Officers, Sir Robert's book will have peculiar attraction, as
it records many anecdotes of the heroism and fidelity of the
corps, which would not discredit the palmiest era of Roman
valour."—United Service Gazette.

COURT OF ALDEnyrEN,

Yesterday a Court was held in consequence of
Alderman Birch's resignation of the Civic Gown,
The LORD MAYOR said that he had called together
the members of the Court in coasequence of having re-
ceived a letter from a highly esteemed gentleman who
had been for a great many years connected with the
Corporation :

Guildford-street, Dec. 14.
My Dear Lord Mayor—Whilst expressinc, my grate-
ful thanks to yourself and my brethren of the Court of
Aldermen for their kindly relieving me from many of
my magisterial duties during my indisposition, I now
feel it my duty to the Court to state that, in conse-
quence of my increasing infirmities, I request permission
to resign my Civic Gown.

I cannot, however, do so without expressing, in the
strongest terms, my sense of obligation for the kindness
and consideration which I have received from the Court
of Alderman for the long period of upwards of thirty
years I have had the honour of a seat in that Court,
and which I shall always retain in remembrance with
the highest solace and satisfaction.

I hive the honour to be, my dear Lord Mayor, your
very obedient and faithful servant,

SAMUEL BIRCH.
To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor.
Mr. SAUNDERS bore testimony to the fact that the
letter was in the handwriting of Alderman Birch.
The LORD MAYOR said, that on reading the com-
munication from their respected brother, which had
been just read, he should confine his observations to
the expression of regret that the indisposition of Alder-
man Birch should have rendered it desirable for him
to retire from the office he had filled with honour and
integrity for a period so rarely allotted to those who
occupied that distinguished station.—( Hear, hear.)
Their venerable friend was elected a Common Coun-
cilman for Cornhill Ward in 1781, made Deputy of the
Ward in 1787, was elected Alderman of Candlewick
Ward in 1807, served as Sheriff in 1811 and 1812,
and filled the Civic Chair in 1814 and 1815: and dur-
ing the 58 years he was attached to the Corporation he
had retained the esteem and respect of all.
Sir PETER LAURIE proposed a vote of thanks and a
testimony of respect for their retiring brother, who had
performed all the duties of the various high situations he
had filled with such industry and ability, entitling him
to the grateful thanks of his Colleagues and the public.
The motion was unanimously adopted.

MARSHALL, Mayon—TUESDAY, the 17th
day of December, 1830, and in the Third Year of the
Reign of Victoria, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, Queen, &c.
_

Resolved unanimously—That in accepting the resignation of
Samuel Birch, Esq., as one of the Aldermen of this City, this
Court desire to record the deep conviction they entertain of the
talent, fidelity, and independence which have characterised his
conduct during the long period of fifty-eight years during which
he has been a member of the Corporation of London. Known
and esteemed by his fellow-citizens as a member of the Court
of Cciamon Council for twenty-six years, his cultivated mind
and honourable character bad marked his fitness for the more
important duties of the Magistracy, which he has discharged
for thirty-two years with integrity, temper, and humanity. In
surrendering those trusts which he had so long and faithfully
discharged, but which advancing age now rendered him inca-
pable of adequately performing consistently with his high sense
of duty, this Court recognises another proof of the feeling of
propriety which ever guided his career. While regretting the
loss of shim as a colleague, they trust that his retirement may
the longer preserve him to them as a friend : and they offer
their cordial wishes that the declining years of their venerable
brother may be blessed with improved health and tranquillity,
cheered by the recollection of a well-spent life, the affection of
his friends, and the gratitude of his fellow-citizens.
