" Sir,—We beg leave to enclose a bill of lading for
eleven bags, containing 23,000 dollars, shipped on ac-
count of the bondholders, per Severn, to the Governor of
the Bank of England, to be held at the disposal of the
Committee of Spanish American Bondholders and Don
F. Facio, agent of the Mexican Government at London.
" We expect in a short time to receive from Mr. Pa-
rish Robertson the necessary orders issued by the Mexi-
can Government to the collector of the custom-house of
this port, in order that the collector may band over to
us accepted bills for the proportion of the import duties
which is assigned to the bondholders. It will entail upon
us a tedious labour, because the duties here are always
paid in small change; but it will insure to the bond
holders the remittances of the proper amounts, without
their being exposed to detention here by any sudden
changes which may be caused by revolutionary move-
ments or otherwise.

THE PROPERTY OF THE MANNINGS.-Yesterday a
writ was issued from the Court of Queen's Bench, in the
suit of " Thomas Binns against G. F. Manning," the
object being to get possession of the property now in the
hands of the police, taken from the railway stations.
Judgment, by consent, was immediately afterwards taken
from Manning, in Newgate; and the judgment being
entered up, a writ offieri facias, addressed to the Sheriff
of Surrey, was at an early hour yesterday afternoon
lodged with the Under-Sheriffs, Messrs. Abbot, of New
Inn. At about six o'clock MrSeale' one of the sheriff's
officers, proceeded to the Southwark police-attaion, and
effected a levy upon all the goods and chattels belonging
to the Mannings, except those required for the purposes
of the prosecution. At eight o'clock the same officer
proceeded to Mr. Bainbridge's, of Bermondsey-square,
and made a seizure of all the effects not actually pur-
chased by Mr. Bainbridge of the Mannings previous to
their :departure. ; A writ was issued for Middlesex
this morning, and a similar process will be adopted with
respect to the property in the hands of the Commissioners
of Police. The property so seized, and to be seized,
consists of two gold watches, a considerable quantity of
jewels, linen, plate, and other valuable effects. It is
understood that the sheriff will take out a summons
under the Interpleader Act.
No one can ever become learned, except by his own
application. Modes and opportunities of education may
facilitate our progress; but on the whole, our attain-
ments must be resolved into our own diligence.—Eliza
Cook's Journal.

GLASGOW. —MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Thurs-
day afternoon an accident occurred at the London
Foundry Woi ks, Renfrew, which caused a fatal result.
A. portion of the woi kmen were employed in elevating
a casting of great weight, and had raised it to a consi-
derable height, when the chain to which it was attached
suddenly gave way, and the immense mass fell upon one
of the persons around, named Archibald I)) kes. Ihe
poor man was of course crushed to the earth beneath it,
and received injuries from which it was impossible he
could recover. He survived for about three hours in
extreme agony. By this deplorable event his wife and
three children have been deprived of their stay and pro-
tection. The unfortunate man was a native of Renfrew.

MR. WILLIAMS, AND THE CONSTITUENCY OF
MACCLESFIELD.—On Thursday evening Mr. John Wil-
liams met the electors of Macclesfield in the Town. hull,
and gave a full account of his past services in the House
of Commons. Mr. Williams was listened to with great
attention, and was frequently applauded throughout his
speech, which lasted about an hour and a quarter. A
vote of confidence and thanks was given to him.
Conscience is the beat friend we have ; with it we
may bid defiance to man; without it all the friends in
the world can be of no use to us.—,Eliza Cook's Awns&

NEWAIARKET, MONDAY EVENING, FIvE O'CLocK.—
Our anticipations with rt gard w the proposed slakes and
plates have been so far borne out, that each of the five
ilia_ closed last night produced a race; the nominations
for some, it must be admitted, were not very imposing.
owing in some measure, no doubt, to the number of
hoi ses amiss, but chiefly- to the Club having offered metal
more attractive in the shape of 501. and 100/. plates; for
them the entries will be immense.

The racing today, as regarded quantity, left nothing
to complain of, its chief, in fact its only, " feature," was
the Criterion Stakes, for which Pitsford (on the strength
of a favourable trial on Saturday) and The Nigger were
supported with great spirit by their respective parties,
The race, it will be seen, proved that there was no mis-
take in Pitsford's running in the Prendergast, and, we
imagine, must have satisfied his admirers that his chance
fur the Derby is quite gone. There was a large attend-
ance upon the heath, and the wewher was very favour-
able; the course was in very good order.

' WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP.
(From the Boston Evening Journal, Cct. 8.)
A severe gale ;rom N.E. commenced on Saturday
evening, and gaged pith great fury during the whole
of the night and throughout the day on Sunday. Sad,
indeed, is the devastation which the gale has wrought
upon the coast, and our worst fears are more than
realised in the heartrending accounts which we are
called upon to chronicle below, and yet we fear that
all has not yet been told. Below we give the particu-
lars, so far as we have learned them.
The British brig St. John, Captain Oliver, from
Galway, Ireland, anchored inside Minot's Ridge
about six A.M. on Sunday, dragged her anchors and
struck on the Grampus rocks about nine A.M. The
captain, officers, and crew (with the exception of the
first mate) took to the boat, and landed safe at the
Glades. The passengers who were saved got on pieces
of the wreck and landed near Whitehead, north end
of Cohasset harbour. The number of passengers on
board was about 164, out of which about 145 are
supposed to have been lost. There were 14 cabin
passengers, mostly women and children. Another
account states that the captain took the jolly-boat,
which soon swamped, and he swam to the long boat,
and was saved with ten others. The second mate,
two men, and two boys were lost. The remainder of
the crew were saved.
Captain Beals, of the steamer Mayflower, gives us
the following particulars. He understood that the
brig struck on the rocks known as the Sea Ledges,
a little to the west of Minot's ledge light, about one
mile from the shore, and immediately went to pieces.
There appeared to be different statements in relation
to the number of passengers on board. The captain says
there were but 114, while the passengers who were
saved say there were 150. Of those saved and arrived
at Cohasset, ten in number, seven were females and
three males. Six of them were provided with
quarters at the house of Captain Abraham H. Tower,
and the other four at Mr. Lathrop's. All of these came
ashore on pieces of the wreck. Two of the women, it
is thought, will not survive, one being badly cut on
the head by a piece of the wreck. The other woman,
it is said, has a husband residing in this city. She
had three children on board with her, all of whom
were lost. Another gentleman, from Cohasset, in-
forms us that the brig first went ashore about
half-past six o'clock yesterday morning, and
shortly after her masts were cut away to ease
her. The captain and ten of the crew then
took to the long' boat, and landed safely near the
Glades. Previous to this, however, one of the mates,
with two of the crew and several of the passengers,
attempted to leave the brig in the small boat, but she
swamped alongside, and all were lost. The brig
soon drifted on to the Grampus rocks, and almost
immediately went to pieces, strewing the beach with
fragments The life-boat was manned, and every
exertion made to save those floating in the surf on the
pieces of wreck. Only ten, however, were saved, as
stated above. Between 20 and 25 of the bodies of
those lost had been recovered this morning when our
informant left the spot. Preparations were making
by the coroner to have them decently interred. As
near as we can ascertain among the many conflicting
stories there were 21 saved in all-10 passengers and
the captain and 10 of the clew, who came ashore in
the long•boat. The number lost it is impossible to
ascertain. According to the captain's story there
werel2o on board, including the crew. If this is
true there were 99 lost. The passengers who were
saved maintain, however, that there were 150 pas-
sengers on board, which, if true, would swell the
number of lost to 143!
The captain and one of the mates, we are informed,
arrived in the city from Cohasset in the noon train
to-day. The following 'statement is from Captain
Oliver himself :
" Saturday, 5 P.M. passed Cape Cod with a light
S.E. wind; weather thick ; hove to with head to the
N.E.: at four A.M. wore ship and stood south; at
half past six made Minot's-ledge. Not having room
to wear ship ventured to run where we saw a brig at
anchor, inside of the light. The violence of the gale
and heavy sea caused us to drag our anchors, when
we cut a way the masts, and held on for a short time.
The gale increasing, she dragged again, struck and
thumped heavily for about one hour before she broke
up. Previous to breaking up the jolly-boat was
hanging by the tackles alongside, when the stern
ringbolt broke, and the boat fell into the water. The
captain, second mate, and two boys jumped into her
to clear her, when about 25 passengers jumped in and
swamped fur. The passengers, together with the
second mate and two boys, perished. The captain
caught a rope hanging over the quarter, and was
drawn on board by the first mate. The long-boat
was got clear shortly after, and a heavy sea coming
on board cleared her from the vessel when a number
of passengers jumped over to swim to her, but all
perished. The captain, first mate (Mr. Cummerford),
eight of the crew, and two passengers swam to the
boat, and reached the shore in safety. The others,
seven men and eight women, came ashore on part of
the deck. Total loss of life, 99 ; saved, 21. 25 bodies
have washed ashore this morning."

TflE LONDON MERCHANTS' AND
TRADERS' .ASSOCIATION.

The anniversary of this association, established for
the protection of trade and the prosecution of swindlers, I
was held yesterday evening at the London Tavern,
the Right lion. the Lord Mayor in the chair.
The company was more respectable than numerous. •
About sixty gentlemen sat down to partake cf all the
good things of the season, and the whole proceedings
of the evening partook rather of the spirit of congra-
tulation at triumph accomplished than of hope and
expectation of success to supervene hereafter.
After the ordinary toasts were disposed of,
The LORD MAYOR, in giving the toast of the
evening, " Success to the London Merchants and
Traders' Association," said that in retiring from the
office of president of the association, he wished to
explain that his only motive for doing so was that his
relations with the city of London had become altered,
and that however anxious he might be to promote
such societies as the one he was then addressing, he
felt that he could not be so free as he could wish to be in
future elections for the City. He approved of the objects
of the society, and had been happy in being its
president ; but in retiring from the office, he could
assure them that he felt the great importance of the
object they had in view, and sincerely hoped that the
society would progress as it had hitherto done.
When it was first established it could only number
some fifty or sixty members ; but they rapidly
increased to upwards of 100, and now when he was
about to take his farewell of the corporation he
believed the number of the members enrolled exceeded
DOO in number.—(Cheers.)
Subsequently the LORD MAYOR proceeded to say
he was compelled, by a message from Windsor
Castle to leave the meeting; and asked the company
to allow Mr. M'Gregor, M.P. for Glasgow, to preside
in his room.

A vote of thanks was passed tolls Lordship after
he withdrew, amidst very general cheering, and Mr.
M‘Gregor took the chair.
Mr. Walker, one of the vice-presidents, Mr.
Goddard, the solicitor to the association, and Mr. T.
S. Morgan, the secretary, subsequently addressed
the meEting in furtherance of its objects; and its
conviviality was kept up until a late hour.

The public will regret to learn that the old firm of
Messrs. Charles Henry and George Enderby, for many
years connected with the whaling trade, and lately en-
gag,d on a large scale as rope-manufacturers at Green-
wich, have announced themselves as unable to meet
their engagements. The general liabilities of the house
are extremely small, but it is feared that ‘strious mem-
bers of the family will in the aggregate suffer severely.
The senior partner, Mr. Charles Enderby, was distin-
guished by his success in establishing the Southern
hale•fishery Company, with the view of reviving that
branch of British enterprise, and it was only ou the 17th
of August last that he sailed for the Auckland Islands
(which had been ceded to his firm in acknowledgment
of their contributions to geographical discovery) to act
as Lieutenant-Governor, and also as commissioner for
the new company. Previously to his departure the
works at Greenwich had been disposed of, and the sub-
sequent business of the house was limited to that of
merchants, dealing chiefly in Australian wool. It has
hardly necessary to add that the difficulties of the firm
have not in any way been caused by their connexion
with the Southern Whale-fishery Company, and which,
in fact, was not of a nature to lead to anything else than
their advantage.—Morning Paper.
MARINE SOCIETY.—The quarterly court of the
governors of the corporation of the Mai tae Society was
held yesterday at their offices, Bishopsgate-street. Vice-
Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm occupied the chair ; and
among other 'members of the court present were—
Admiral Bowles, C. 8., M.P., Lieut.-General Sir James
Law Lushington, G.C.8., Captain Miller, Captain Shep-
herd, Lieutenant-Colonel Astell, Captain Nairne, and
Captain Clarke. The secretary read a statement of the
receipts and expenses for the past quarter, from which
it appeared that the finances of the society are at pre-
sent in a very satisfactory condition. A report as to the
boys that have been received and apprenticed under the
regulations of the society during the quarter was then
laid before the court. Having gone through the ordi-
nary routine business on such occasions, the court after-
wards proceeded to consider a special report made by
the committee of management on the revised bye-laws
end rogulations, which with a few amendments were ap-
proved of and adopted. A vote of thanks to the chair- ,
man, acknowledging his forward zeal in promoting
the interests of the society, closed the business of the
meetirg.
We believe a very general feeling prevails in the
City that the suggestion for a holiday on TuvsdaY,
the
30th, the day of the Royal visit, should be adopted. ft
is not alone that the desirableness of an occasional relief
to the monotonous employment of the numerous body of
clerks and others is recognised, but it is also felt that
the danger and inconvenience of att. mpting to carry on
business operations and their ordinary money payments
in the midst of the excitement attendant upon such an
event, should, as far as possible, be avoided. It will be
remembered that upon the Queen's visit at the opening
of the Royal Exchange all business was suspended.

A. WOMAN BURNT TO DEATH.

Soon after three o'clock on Wednesday morning a
fire was discovered in a house of ill fame, in Little
Lever street, Stevenson-square, kept by a man named
Thomas Hill. After the flames were extinguished,
the remains of a woman were found almost burned to
a cinder, and on being removed they were recognized
as those of Mrs. Hill. Yesterday afternoon Mr. E.
Ilerford, borough coroner, held an inquest at the
Royal Infirmary, previously viewing the remains of
the wretched woman, as they lay upon a btd in tl.e
house in Little Lever-street. From the evidence of
several witnesses, it appears that on Monday night
both Hill and his wife were intoxicated, Hill himself
confessing that he remembered nothing from about
seven or eight o'clock, until he was roused by the cry
of " fire," at three the next morning. About twelve
o'clock Mrs. Hill, although then in a decided state of
intoxication, was seen to drink three or four small
tumblers of gin. About half-past one, her husband
being then in bed, although not in the room in which
he usually slept, the deceased opened the front
door, and admitted two persons into the house, and
at this time she was almost helpless from the effects
of the liquor. She went upstairs, but whether she
at once entered her bedroom, or again went down
into the kitchen, is not known; but it seems most
probable that she must have remained down stairs
until about three o'clock, and then endeavoured to
find her way to bed. About this time one of the
witnesses heard a scream, which she believed to
have been uttered by the deceased ; but as the witness
thought it was in consequence of Hill beating her,
she took no notice of it. Almost immediately after,
however, the smell of fire was perceived, and within
ten minutes of this time the deceased was found as
we have stated. It would appear, therefore, that the
deceased must have entered her bedroom, and the
room being very small and the bed just opposite the
door, she must on entering it have set fire to her
dress, or perhaps first to the bed curtains, when she
rushed out and fell in the corner of the landing
(which, from its peculiar construction, she would very
probably do in her attempts to reach the stairs); she
was no doubt incapable of moving from the effects of
intoxication and fright, and hence her horrid death.
The husband of the deceased was drunk, and almost
incapable of answering a question when he was giving
his evidence at the inquest. He stated that he was
insured to the amount of 3001., but in what office he
was too insensible to tell. The jury returned a ver-
dict to the effect that the deceased had died from
burns accidentally received while she was in a state
of intoxication. The Coroner severely reprimanded
Hill, and also warned the female witnesses as to the
certain results of the course of intemperance they
were pursuing.—Manchester Guardian.

THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT CHELSEA.—(Froth a
Correspondent.)—Yesterday the body of Mr. M•Guire,
or Al‘Guaran, who so mysteriously disappeared from
No. 5, White Lion-street, Chelsea,-on the 26th ult., whom
the man M'llonald and his wife are charged with mur-
dering and robbing, was picked up in the Thames ofl
Erith, and conveyed to the dead house of that place, to
wait the coroner's inquiry.
DREADFUL FIRE AT HOXTON AND SUPPOSED
Less OF LlFE.—This morning (Tuesday), shortly after
one o'clock, a terrific fire broke out in the premises be-
longing to Mr. Nelson, a hat manufacturer, No. 140,
Iloxtun Old-town, immediately opposite the Queen's
Head Tavern. The premises were of consioerable
extent, and at the time of the disaster being discovered
the whole of the inhabitants were in their beds asleep.
An instant alarm having been given, the numerous par-
ties were aroused from their slumbers, but so fearful had
been the progress of the flames in the interim that none
of the residents were able to effect an escape by the
regular means, and as a last expedient they were com-
pelled to get out of the back windows and drop into the
ard. Mr. Nelson and his family, it is understood, suc-
ceeded in saving their lives in this manner, but two boys
who were sleeping in one of the upper rooms could not
be awakened, when Mr. Nelson rushed to their room,
and at the risk of losing his own life, managed to pull
the two youths from their beds and drop them
from the window in safety. Although that . was
accomplish( d, at half-past two o'clock thisa_ yotraninbge
aa
young woman who slept on the premises, a
niece of the proprietor, was missing, and from inquiries
made it was feared that she had perished. Owing to the
combustible character of the stock in trade, but few
minutes elapsed ere the whole of the premises, from the
base to the roof, presented one immense sheet of flame,
and very speedily the property of Mr. Kirkham,, china
and glass merchant, shared a similar. fate. 'he rt flee-
Lion of the flames being seen from a great distance
caused the intelligence to be promptly forwarded to the
fire stations, and forthwith the escapes of the Roy al
Society, with the engines of the parish, London Brigade,
and the %Vest of England office, reached the scene of
conflagration, at which time plenty of water was flowing
from the fire mains in the district, but the flames were
exteiding completely over the wide carriage road, and
were attacking the Queen's Head Tavern. Fortunately
the firemen succeeded in cutting off the further progress
of the flames very quickly, but at a quarter to three
o'cl-ek they were far from being entirely extinguished,
although all dagger of any further extension was over.
At that time the premises of Mr. Nelson and those of
Mr. Kirkham were destroyed, and the young woman
missing had not been seen or heard of.
The Court of Directors of the lion. East India
Company have appointed Mr. Nicholas Cummins, of the
firm of N. and J. Cummins, of Cork, their agent at that
place, in the room of the late Mr. Callaghan, M.P., who
had held that appointment for more than twenty years.

THE NEW FLORIN PIECE.—A paragraph which has
appcaredin st veral papers on the inscription of the new coin
conveys an impression which we ,are glad to correct. It
intimates that the innovation which has given such an-
noyance was suggested by art illustrious personage. We
have reason to know that no such suggestion was made
in that quarter. The coin was passed in the usual
manner by the Queen in Council, as may be seen by
reference to the Gazette of the time.— Times.

THE 3D DRAGOON GUARDS, NOTTINGHAM.—The
e hole of the refractory men of this regiment were on
Saturday tight reported to be in barracks, end above 14
still remained in the guardhouse, the remaining prisoners
having been summarily disposed of on Friday and Sa-
turday. The Colonel, Earl Cathcart, was busily en-
gaged in reviewing the whole of the troops, and inquir-
ing into the late disturbances, the result of which is, that
applications have been forwarded to the COMMIE: 3-
Chief, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, for three ge-
neral and six district courts-martial. The latter are for
trying comparatively minor offenders, but a general
court is only ordered in very serious cases, and has the
power of condemning to death. Late inquiries show
that not only those men who transgressed during the
fair week, and those whose horses were out of condition
—a considerable minority of the whole regiment—but
that every other man, no matter how good his conduct
or previous character, or whether he had anything to do
with stable work, was ordered to be confined within the
barrack walls during Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur's plea-
sure. This punishment, which was felt to be of a de-
grading nature, was for the most part borne with quiet-
ness from Tuesday the 9th until Sunday the 14th Inst.,
when it was expected the order would be rescinded, and
that the orderly men at least would be allowed the usual
privilege. Application was accordingly made to the
Lieutenant-Colonel, but he refused to recal his order for
confinement, until, as he said, he had had ample time to
observe from personal inspection that the horses had
been better attended to. The men instantly became very
indignant at this, as they thought, unjust treatment, and
a complete conspiracy was entered into, of which the re-
sults have already been made public. It is said that if
all who felt themselves aggrieved, and who favoured the
rising of this little rebellion, had taken part therein, as
very many promised to do who did not, the officers would
have bt en lett without men sufficieut to form even a
single picket. The coming inquiries in court•martial are
looked forward to with great interest.
ACCIDENT ON THE AYRSHIRE LINE.-011 Thurs-
day night a fatal accident occurred to a man named
Thomas Irving, employed as a stoker on this line. The
occurrence took place near the Lugar Ironworks, where
it would appear, he had fallen off one of the waggons of
a mineral train. The wheels unfortunately passed over
his body, killing him almost instantaneously. He was
a native of Ayrshire, and unmarried.
PROPOSED GREAT RAILWAY BRIDGE AT COLOGNE.
—We have much pleasure in noticing, as one of the
fruits of the recent visit of his Excellency the Prussian
Ambassador to this town and neighbourhood, that cur
distinguished townsman, Mr. William Fairbairn, C.E.,
has been invited by the Prussian Government to offer
his advice and assistance in connexion with a most im-
portant work which is about to be undertaken in Rhenish
Prussia. It has been determined that the Rhine is no
longer to be a barrier to an uninterrupted railway com-
munication between the shores cf the German Ocean and
the great cities of central Germany; and the neighbnir-
hood of Cologne has been selected as the fittest site for
effecting this junction. During his recent stay here the
Chevalier Bunsen became deeply interested in the system
of bridge building, which Mr. Fairbairn has so success-
fully and extensively carried out, by the employment of
wrought iron as a material for the coustruction of great
girders; and after his conversations with Mr. Fairbairn,
his Excellency became strongly impressed with a con-
viction that this system was perhaps the only one
calculated to meet the requirements of his Govern-
ment, and the corporate authorities of Cologne,
who are also interested in the proposed structure. On
the invitation of his Excellency, Mr. Fairbairn there fore
prepared plans and calculations for this important
bridge, and has been called to Berlin to submit his de-
sign to his Majesty the King of Prussia and the autho-
rities. The Rhine is at present, as it is well known,
crossed only by floating bridges, and it has indeed
hitherto been considered an impossibility to erect perma-
nent structures which should be able to withstand the
destructive powers of the enormous masses of ice which
are brought duwn from the regions of the Alps by this
mighty stream. It is known that the Romans bad two
passages across the river, constructed, however, of wood,
and consequently hallo to great damage and deteriora.
don ; but since th, it ago all attempts to erect massive
bridges have failed. We are informed, however, that
Mr. Fairbaim's design completely obviates all these diffi-
culties; and it is, therefore, not improbable that Man-
ellster may have the honour of supplying the talent
which will carry to a successful completion one of the
most colossal undertakings of the age.—Manchester
Guardian.

2VIELANCHOLY SIGHT.—The following is an extract
of a letter from Captain Durward, of the barque Ben
Nevis, of Dundee, dated Cronstadt, Oct. 5, 1849:—" Oa
Saturday night, at nine p.m., the look-out observed some-
thing right ahead and close to the chip. The helm was
immediately put to starboard, and we just cleared it
when it was within thirty yards of our quarter. I heard
the cries of men for assistance. It was a ship bottom up,
and a few perishing creatures clinging to her. I imme-
diately rounded our ship to, shortened sail, and made
every attempt to rescue them, but all in vain. From the
darkness of the night, heavy rain, and a gale blowing
from westward. I lost sight of the vessel, and could hear
them no more. I squared away at 11 o'clock—sorry,
indeed, I could not save them."—Dundee Advertiser.
LAMBETH ANTI-CHOLERA AND DWELLINGS IM-
PROVEMENT COMMITTEE.—This committee commenced
the demonstration of the street-orderly system in the
parish of Lambeth yesterday, with much satisfaction to
the inhabitants. The men (taken from the workhouse)
are warmly and decently clad, and stationed in the
various leading thoroughfares, taking in their course
the intersecting courts, alleys, lanes, and passages,
which they completely cleanse. A house has been pro-
vided for the orderlies, who lodge together, and their
meals are regularly served. The operations are under the
direction of an inspector and superintendent, who exer-
cise, a moderate degree of discipline to ensure order
and civility. The streets of Lambeth present a far
different appearance to what they wore hitherto, and
which must, eventually, tend to improve the health and
comfort of the parishioners.

HOLBORN, &C PAYING BOARD.—At a meeting of
the St. Andrew's, Holborn, and St. George the Mart) r's
Commissioners of Pavement, held at the Union Work-
house, Gray's Inn lane, last night, Mr. George Ta)lor
in the chair. Mr. Hopwood, a member of the board,
submitted an offer, which he had been authorised to
make to that and other metropolitan paving boards by
Mr. Lowe, the inventor of the "patent stench-trap grid
or grating," which has already been adopted, by way of
experiment, by the Metropolitan Commissioners of
Sewers. The t ffer was to put down, in situations that
quired them, several specimens of his invention free of
all charge to the boards consenting to make the experi-
ment. The surveyor said the board had no power of
itself to accede to the proposition, however advantageous..
They must apply for permission to the Commissioners of
Sewers. But if any of these traps were to bo tried, Red
Lion-passage should be one of the localities to have the
benefit of one. It was then resolved that application should
be made to the Commissioners of Sewers, for leave
to lay down several in such places as the Committee
of General Purposes should select. At the same meet-
ing some discusion arose as to the propriety of assessing
the gas and water companies in the parishes within the
board's jurisdiction to the paving-rate, these companies
having hitherto enjoyed an immunity from this tax. It
was estimated that 501. per annum would be added to the
revenues of the board it this course were puiseed. Mr.
Pugh (the clerk) said he had looked into the cases ad-
judicated upon by the courts of law, but bad not dis-
covered an instance of its ever having been affirmed that
water or gas companies were liable to paving-rate. At
the same time ho thought it a very fair question to raise;
for these companies were already liable to poor rates,
and the paving-rate followed the poor-rate, according to
the Act of Parliament. Besides, the word " heredita •
ments" in their Act seemed to cover such property as
gas and water companies works. It was ultimately re-
solved that thee companies should be assessed. In
bringing up the half-yearly assessment, the clerk stated

GLASGOW, OCT. 20.—COTTON.--We have had an
active demand fur wool during the greater part of the
week, and there have beets extensive [urchases, chiefly
on speculation. Prices are fully id. per lb. above thu
rates of this day week. The market has been quieter
yesterday and to-day, but holders are firm. The goods
market has be en less active this week. but stocks and
light. Pig Iron—The improvement in the price of pig
iron towards the end of the last week, caused by the
covering of a few bear sales, has disappeared, and the
market closes to-day with sellers of mixed Nes. at
425. 6d.; but little business is doing, as dealers, in the
expectation of a further decline, will not buy to stock
at current prices. A few sales could have been made
to-day at 425. per ton cash.
STRANGE VISITER AT A BALL.--11l the middle of
the dancing at the Inglewood Hunt ball, at Penrith, a
tat, charmed by the music, came down the chimney,
and took his stand in the ceitie of the room; ladies
hurried away in pale dismay, and gentlemen looked
ample queer at the intruder, who, apparently uncon-
cerned, gazed after the frightened beauties who had re-
ceded from his presence. " Fetch a terrier; close the
door," said Sir George Musgrave, " and let us have a
hunt." A terrier was brought in, and a first-rate chase
followed; but unfortunately the chimney was left open
and the game escaped.--Carlisle Patriot.
