AS'JZE BREAD MONOPOLY-
THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sls-r2r have observed in various numbers of y0:1
valuable journal, and also in your morning contem-
porary—the Morning Advertiser—of meetings bein
convened by the master bakers of this vast metro-
polis, for what ? why to encourage monopoly, and t o
increase their riches at the expense of theppoor,rr, in
endeavouring to obtain an Act of Parliament for fix-
ing an assize price of bread, and to prevent compe-
tition ; but I doubt whether a Protectionist can now
be found who would dare have the hardihood to ask
leave to bring before Parliament such an unjust
measure.
Why, a publican may, upon the same principle,
c,sk for an Act of Parliament to compel a poor man
to ray sd. for a pot of 4d. porter, or a linendraper to
charge' a poor man's wife sd. for a yard of 4d. calico.
Surely- Alaster Bakers' Protection Association
must have foNt;tten we are living in the nineteenth
century, and i
and free-trade, wi..enlightened days of retrenchment
6:1 Cobden and Co. are treading
upon .the once strong
p,',ek of monopoly, never again
to cast one glimpse of hope upon its once agitating,
but now fallen and site-nt Protectionists.. If the
master, bakers could possibly- rot:-It with a Member of
the Lower and another Member' of
the tipper House
of Parliament, to cause an enactment that the assize
price of bread should be the law of the lai;_d, that tLe
poor man shall pay the same price for a loaf of bread
as the rich, and that all bread shall be manufactu:ed
from the (would-be-call€d) best town made flour, the
major rut ofwhich is manufactured in the country, and
nine-tenths of:the remainder 3,000 miles from London,
would ask what is to be done with the seconds
and thirds flour, for that quality is most abundant
upon town and all country markets, and of A very
excellent quality, from which most excellent and
wholesome bread is made by the fairer dealing bakers
(called the low-priced bakers), and sold to the mid-.
dling and poorer classes of this metropolis at a fair
and remunerating price, which bread is equall nutri-
tious, wholesome, and satisfying to the hungry appe-
tite as bread manufactured from the (so-called) best
town-made flour.

A resolution was unanimously passed at the meetings
of the Master Bakers' Association, with the wish to
do good to themselves and then the public ; but how
was it when a worthy Member of the House of Cora-
-1 mans,_ at the close of last session, obtained- leave to
bring a Bill before Parliament to compel bakers and
bread sellers to weigh bread to their customers, and,
to allow 32 ounces for a small loaf of 2lbs., and 64
ounces for a large loaf of 4lbs., under the penalty of
ss. for every deficient ounce? In this proposition to
the House, the master bakers forgot their duty and
the good they owe to the public, and actually convened
a meeting condemning the principle of the worthy
Member's Bill, which is againito be brought forward
at the ensuing session with a hope it will become the
law of the land, that being for the good of the public.
I remain, Sir, yours respectfully,

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON took his seat on the bench :at
ten o'clock.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN..—
Samuel _Healey, an engine driver, and William Wilk ins, a
stoker, surrendered to take their trial for the alleged
manslaughter of a man named Perry, a ballast man, a iso
in the employment of the company.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. BODKIN that
the prisoners were in charge of the " Vulture" ballast
engine, and th 2 t on the evening of the I7th of Novem-
ber they left the Old Richmond station, for the purpose
of going to London for coke. The Datchet Expreeti was
due at that time, about eix o'clock, but was five mi
nutes late. Notwithstanding the rules which forbade
such conduct, the prisoners moved their engine from the
station. On reaching the junction of the Datchet line
with the Richmond, the Express came up, drawn by the
" Hornet," and a violent collision took place. The vio-
lence of the shock threw the deceased on the engine, on
which he and some other labourers were being con,eyed
to town, by which the back of his skull was fractured,
and he died an the spot. Some of the others were most
severely injured. The prisoners jumped off, and escaped
without tiny serious injury.
Mr. Gouch, superiru eudant of the locomotive depart-
meat, produced the rules, with a copy of which each of
the drivers and stokers were presented, their signature
being taken on its receipt, and steted that the prsoners
had been guilty of a gross neglect of duty, inasmuch as
the rules directed them not to proceed when a train was
due, or for a short period after its time.
Some of the persons who were on the engine detailed
the circumstance. The prieoners, they deposed, were
perfectly sober, and that when they heard the express
coming they shut off the steam and applied the breaks,
calling out at the same time for the men to jump off.
The engine was going at the rate of four or five miles an
hour when the break was eppiied. _Healey was heard
to say that it was time to start, as the express had passed.
Mr. BALLANITNE addressed the jury for the prisoners,
who, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoners.

PIIUSSIA.

The German Gazette of Frankfort says that the
Prussian Government has resolved to request all the
German Governments to declare in what manner
they mean to conform to the resolutions of the
National Assembly of Germany on the Constitution ;
and if they are disposed to make a collective or
separate declaration thereon. The Gazette adds, that
whether Austria enters or not into the German union,
Prussia will defend the federative system.

elude inquiries of this nature in such a singular way?
The CORONER—It is quite regular.
Mr. King. ( a juror)—I never heard of such a
proceeding before. You do this of course upon your
own responsibility ?
The CORONER—The judges permit a discretion in
these cases—to be sure it is not often exercised.
A juror—Can we return an open verdict:?
The CORONER—The inquiry is now finished.
The Foreman—You have certainly taken us by
surprise.

A juror—We were prepared with our verdict.
The CORONER—The inquiry is over and the jury
are discharged. I have taken great pains to arrive at
a just conclusion, and it is better for all that it should
end without unnecessary injury to any person, there
being no cause for complaint so long as the ends of
justice are answered. _

The jury were then formally discharged, and thus
ended this singular shadow of an inquiry.
The following verdict was handed to the reporters
as having been unanimously agreed to by the jury
prior to the coroner's arrival:—
" We find that the deceased children, John Keen,
John Burke, 'William Neevan, and William Walton,
of the parish of Islington, died of cholera, at Hack-
ney; and that the predisposing causes have arisen
from bad treatment and neglect on the part of Bar-
tholomew Peter Drouet towards the deceased whilst
in his establishment at Tooting, and that the said
Bartholomew Peter Drouet was actuated thereto by
mercenary motives."

Several additional cases of cholera have occured in
the barracks. From the 21st to the 25th of January
there were in the garrison hospital 7 cases, 5 of which
proved fatal, and 2 recovered ; total in that hospital
since commencement on the 29th December, 60 cases,
32 deaths, and 4 under treatment.
In the military hospital and artillery barracks no
fresh cases were reported, 6 were under treatment at
the last returns, 3 recovered, and 3 died.

In the Aula one soldier was attacked on the 20th,
and died ; three cases have since occurred there, and
have been rontoved' Go the garrison nopital. Total
number of cases of investigated cholera, 67; deaths,
35 ; recoveries, 27 ; under treatment, 5 ; on the 20th,
when the temperature suddenly changed, the first
case of real Asiatic cholera, in its worst form,
appeared, and since then 14 cases of the most virulent
kind have taken place.
The Board of Health, in their visits among the
poor, have ascertained that these cases occurred in
the most neglected districts, where the people were
sunk in the most squalid poverty, and were, more-
over, addicted to drinking.
The Board immediately gave orders for the tho-
rough cleansing and draining of those places; for an
adequate supply of fresh water, of warm clothing, and
good food for the poor. Medical assistance is always
at hand, and the medicines and attendance are given
gratis.
His Majesty the EMPEROR, by a royal ordinance,
dated the 19th, has appointed Privy Councillor and
Chamberlain FRANCIS Count COLLOREDO WALLSEE
to be his Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Great
Britain.
The Grand Duke MICHAEL has sent a compli-
mentary letter to the regiment called after him at
Lemberg.
VIENNA, JAN. 26.—The Wiener Zeitung of the
26th contains the investigation of the punishments of
three persons by the Imperial Central Committee of In-
vestigation. JOSEPH PLANK'S sentence was commuted
to five years hard labour at the fortification in light
irons ; ANDREAS, KERSCHDORF, HEINRICH, MONOS-
CHEW, Grenadiers in the Imperial service were
sentenced to be shot; this sentence was executed this
morning.
The prohibition for the exportatian of money is,
by an order from the Government, extended to re-
mittances from Hungary, Croatia, and Transylvania.

heard of before long, either in Paris or Dresden.

PRUSSIA.

By reference to our accounts from Frankfort it will
be perceived that the Prussian Government has issued
a diplomatic paper, advancing the claims of
FREDERICK WILLIEW4 to be invested with the im-
perial purple. The Artful Dodger of Sans Souci is
of course excessively eulogistic in his allusions to
the Central Parliament and Central Government.
The system of lying is carried on even in refer-
ence to unfortunate Denmark. Accounts of the most
erroneous character are promulgated as to the in-
cursion of Danish troops beyond the frontiers of
Schleswig, when the truth is, that the only sincerity
that has been evinced since the first signing of the
armistice, has been on the side of Denmark. Fresh
negotiations are spoken of as likely to extend the
armistice now on the eve of expiration.

FRANKFORT.
Adrices from the Imperial city to the 27th contain
little news of importance beyond the following :
" Reports have been circulated at Frankfort, that the
Prussian Cabinet was about to issue a note or circu-
lar to all its diplomatic agents, containing a dis-
tinct expose of its views and intentions relative
to the important question of German centrality.
The Journal de Frankfort of the 22d or 23d
alludes to this subject, and states that the King of
Prussia has announced his intention of accepting the dig-
nity of Supreme Chief (oberhauptswurde), even should
Austria refuse its assent. The reports in question are
true. A circular dated the 23d, and signed by
Count Billow, acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, has
boon dispatched to all Prussian diplomatic agents, with
directions to communicate its contents to the Govern-
naents to which they are accredited. The circular,
which is said to be extremely long, . gives a full and
complete expose of the views and policy intended to be
pursued by Prussia, in so far as depends upon the will
and power of the Crown and Government."

we, nevertheless, sympathise with his affectionate
veneration for his brother's memory, and we congra-
tulate him on the accomplishment of this labour of
love. The melancholy conclusion of Lord Castle-
reagh's career is briefly passed over. It appears, from
this account, that he had been suffering from gout, and
his physician had prescribed a medicine calculated to
lower his physical temperament, but which, unhap-
pily, had the effect of also debilitating his mind—
hence the depression of spirits which led to the
catastrophe.

LIFE AND REMAINS OF THEODORE
1100 K. By Me Rev. R. D. Barham. 2 Vols.
The life of Theodore Hook by the immortal
Thomas Ingoldsby ! The title of this book says more
than could the most elaborate commendation. The
biography of even an ordinary individual penned by
some ordinary writer is almost invariably attractive,
and consequently the interest of such a career as this,
narrated by such an historian, cannot be very incon-
siderable. Perhaps the most entertaining contents of
these volumes are the anecdotes which are profusely
scattered over their pages. There is a sprightliness
and good-humour about all the sayings and doings of
Theodore Hook which invests even the most insigni-
ficant with a peculiar fascination. One of these anec-
dotes gives an amusing instance of Theodore's
self-assurance and popularity. Passing with a
friend a house which gave unmistakeable evidence
that a dinner party was assembling within, the author
of " Gilbert Gurney" laid a wager with his comps/.
nion that he would himself partake of the banquet,
and that his friend should join him there in the even-
ing. The wager • was accepted. Theodore Hook
raised the knocker, and was admitted by the footman
as an expected visitor. Having made his appearance
in the drawing-room, where the guesti were await-
ing dinner, he at once entered into conversation with
one of the group, and soon, as was his custom, bad
the whole room listening to him in pleased admira-
tion. .Having thus ingratiated himself with the as-
sembly and with the host also (who viewed his unex-
pected visitor with some amazement), he suddenly
discovered that he had made a mistake and entered
a wrong house, having been invited to dine with a
stranger in that neighbourhood. With many apolo-
gies he proposed to depart, but no one would hEar of
his departure, and when his friend called in the evening
he found him the hero of the feast, and so the wager
was won.

THE RATIONAL TREATMENT of STRIC-
TURES of the URETHRA, in all their varieties and compli-
cations. 'With practical observations on the use and abuse of instru-
ments in the treatment of urethral diseases, showing that the unne-
cessary employment of instruments is a frequent exciting cause of
stricture, and that a want of practical knowledge and manual dex-
terity in their use, when necessary, is the source of most of the se-
vere, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fa-
tally prevalent.

By F. B. CORTENA T, ~
" The operation of introducing a catheterll.R.C.S.E through an impermeable
stricture is. without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of
surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
of a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.

LITERARY GAZETTE, DECEMBER 9, 1848.

Two thousand and eighty-eight pages comprise this volume,
which, we believe, we may safely affirm, could only relate to Eng-
land and be made in England ; for all the world besides could not
su ply such matter, nor furnish such means for making it tho-
roughly known and easily found. The production of a newspaper is
a daily wonder—the "Yost-office Directory" is an annual one. The
information collected is prodigious, the arrangement as near as pos-
sible to perfection, and as far as we can test it by many references,
the details accurate to a nicety beyond eulogiam. Everybody is
aware of what this Iliad, not in a nutshell, but for Its intelligence
incredibly compressed, consists ; and therefore we will not enter
into the particulars, but merely say that all official, social, com-
mercial, legal, parliamentary, courtly, and other information
which may be required for conveniency, business, or pleasure, in
this unbounded Babylon of ours, is here; most useful and complete
in every branch and department.

F'd One halt the world are desolately single, and the other
•opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
ense el right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
.:`.ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
it caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
nimprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice dernsuid that health sheuld form an item
al the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er

IN RE WILLIAM HENRY BARBER.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINs said he was instructed on be-
`ll `ll of Mr. William Henry Barber to apply that he
ht be re-admitted as an attorney of this Court.
tie application was grounded upon affidavits
ttde by Mr. Barber, which stated that he
d been articled to a gentleman practising as an
at torney at Tonbridge, whom he had served as an
14 tided and stipendiary clerk for sixteen years, at
111 e end of which period be received a certificate of bis
4Q,',egrity and ability. He was admitted as an attorney
al Easter term, 1836, and continued to practise in that
Pacity until the 9th of Dec., 1843, when, it will be m-
e( ,Ilt cted, he was apprehended on a charge of forgery,
.I..Lbsequently convicted and sentenced to trail:por-
"' Elan for life. On the 14th of November last
2,c1 received her Majesty's pardon, and had now
vf turned to- this country. He (Mr. Wilkins) under-
at ood that his Learned Friend appeared on behalf
4:0 the Incorporated Law Society, but he believed not so
xtuzh to oppose the application as to show a proper
elousy on their part as to the character of persons seek-
an to become members of the profession. The free
g irdon of her Majesty had been granted after a long and
ixious investigation, which clearly established Mr.
li trber's innocence, and he trusted that their Lordships
sv (mid be of opinion that he was entitled to be reinstated
as, an attorney.
Sir F. THESIGER suggested that a further inquiry
hould be instituted, not with reference so much to that
p articular conviction as to the general character which
n bore in the profession previous to the Court allowing
)43 re-admission.
_ Sergeant WILKINS, being acquainted with the
ishes of Mr. Barber, said he was justified in stating
to at Mr. Barber courted investigation, and would render
/cry information which was calculated to forward it.
13 e had only to add the request that there might be no
d 4 =lay before the investigation was entered upon.
Lord DENMAN thought that the investigation ought
tEI take place at once, and suggested that the matter
sh<Hdd be referred to one of the Masters for his report.
This was ultimately agreed to, and it was arranged
"It the Master's report should be bro ught up on an

We look upon this book as a national blessing. Who has not
found the use of it? who has not turned the information it contains
to profitable account ? It is now in the jubilee year of its existence,
and, if possibly, is more compete in its details than any of its pre-
decessors. Its amplitude and correctness are marvellous ; and that
they are duly appreciated we need no better proof than the fact of
the übiquity of its presence. Go where you will you are sure to
meet it. It is impossible to live a week in London without feeling
the want of such a work.
