EA TH OF AN OLD MISER AT WIGAN.-
On Wednesday se'nnight, numerous reports were in cir-
culation, in Sell°les, that Miss Mary lAspull, aged 89,
had died that morning, and that, on searching the house,
bags of money and notes had been found to a large
amount, which was at first computed at 10,0001.
Some of the parties interested in bringing the bidden
treasure to light were engaged throughout the day in
counting the money.
THE GREAT SACRIFICE OF INFANT LIFE
BY FIRE.-At an inquest held on Thursday evening be-
fore Mr. Higgs, on the body of a child burnt to death,
that functionary said that the present inquest made the
fifth he had held within the last eleven days on children
who had met their deaths in a similar manner. It was
most painful to contemplate such a sacrifice of human
life. The only remedy for it was, in his opinion, the
fire-guard, which every person having children ought to
possess. The cost of such an article was trifling. In all
cases of a similar nature held before Mr. Wakley, that gen-
tleman always addresses the parents in a most feeling man-
ner on the utility of having, not only fire-guards, but
high fenders, so as to prevent children from standing on
the edge of those articles, to reach on the mantel-shelf,
which, in his opinion (so many things being generally
placed upon it), was a temptation to the child to try
and get them off. Mr. Baker, who, in consequence of
the crowded district over which he presides, has a great
number of such cases, impresses on the jury and wit-
nesses the great good that would result from a sta-
tute being passed to the effect of awarding punish-
ment to the parents or parties left in charge of chil-
dren whose death was caused by burning. lie also
s aspeaks of the necessity of having fire-guards. The City
Coroner, Mr. Payne, always advises the use of

SHOCKING CATASTROPHE.-- On Saturday
afternoon, two men, named Beand Bennet Draper, residing
at Bretby, and who had left their homes in search of
work some short time before,
the estate of the Mar • were found poaching on
Marquis of Anglesey, in the neigh-
bourhood of Burton, by two persons appointed to pre-
serve the game. As soon as they •
found they were dis-
covered they ran away, and the two watchers commenced
pursuit ; they continued the chace until Bennet and
Draper,
,who had taken the route of the meadows, were
completely hemmed in with the river Trent on the one
hand, the river Dove before
them, and their pursuers
behind. The watchers now felt sure of capturing the
offenders, and called to them to surrender, but the un-
fortunate and misguided men immediately leapd into the
Dove, near to where it joins the Trent at Newton Sol-
ey. Draper, who, it appears, could not swim, went
down in a few seconds; but Bennet kept above the water
for some time, and his cries for help were heartrending.
Mr. Smedley, of Newton, who witnessed the occurrence,
immediately ran to a boat hard by, but found it locked;
he then went home to procure a hammer to remove the
lock, but by the time he returned the ill-fated man had
sunk to rise no more. Owing to the swollen state of the
river the bodies have not yet been recovered. Both the
men were unmarried.—Derby and Chesterfield Reporter.
A MAN THROWN FROM A WINDOW,.
On Thursday morning, at half-past three o'clock, a man,
respectably dressed, was thrown from the second-flocr
window of a house of ill-fame in Leg-alley, Long-acre.
The police-constable on duty, hearing dreadful groans,
proceeded to the spot, where he found the man lying
insensible. He was removed to Charing-cross Hospital,
where it was found that his left leg had received a severe
compound fracture, besides other injuries.
LONGEVITY.—A man, named Champagne, a
native of Pau, died there a few days since, aged 100
years and six months. At Orleans a negress, who came
to France from St. Domingo after the revolution in that
island, died last week, aged 103.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YE V,/
GLOBE.—The Money mania really is a sWiatZAI
gular thing. We insert a fresh ebullition of it in
our this day's columns, in the shape of a some-
what lengthy Address of " The Birmingham
Association for Promoting the General Welfare
of their Fellow-countrymen." Hajji Baba, when
told by a vulgar hostess that the peas she pressed
on him were five guineas a dish, replied, that if
such were the standard of value in eatables, "as
good eat tomauns, as good eat Cashmere shawls."
Messrs. Clutton Salt, and Matthias Green, would
have us swallow inconvertible notes. The Ad-
dress states, very justly, that " the assertion that
the producing portion of society cannot be fed
and clothed, is a most dishonest and disgraceful
absurdity." It is so, with access like ours to
commerce. But fed and clothed with what?—
with Brummagem inconvertible currency ? It
would seem so, in the view of Mr. Clutton Salt:—

" Demand may always be made equal to
supply, by a due exercise of the Royal preroga-
tive, in maintaining the quantity of money to be
spent in an equilibrium with the quantity of
goods to be sold ; and that, in fact, excess of
supply beyond demand means more goods than
money ; while excess of demand beyond supply
means more money than goods—the amount of
demand always depending on the amount of
money in circulation."
There are said to be men who can move one
step in reasoning, and no farther. Mr. Salt and
his fellow currency-doctors would seem to be of
this number. The amount of demand, they
say, depends on the amount of money in circu-
lation. Well, then, on what does the amount of
money in circulation depend? The answer to
that question would show that Mr. Salt and his
friends see only the surface—the symptoms of
our actual commercial malady. But quacks only
prescribe for symptoms, without investigating
the source of disease. If Messrs. Saltand Co. had
stuck to the good sense which suggested the
remark we have already quoted—respecting the
producing classes being fed and clothed—if they
had not lost sight of this, the main condition of
public prosperity—if they had kept in view that
the sine qua non for those who labour in clothing
others is being fed for doing so—deriving an
abundant supply of all necessaries from sources
not rendered precarious by sinister legislation—
they surely could not have fallen into the flagrant
absurdity of asserting that all that was wanting
to restore prosperity was an act of the Royal pre-
rogative to make money as plenty as unsold
goods! If this is not a reductio ad absurdum of
the Birmingham currency doctrine, nothing can
be—to the eyes of all who regard it through the
medium of common sense.

STANDARD.—" The alliance is, it seems, at
an end, the Chartists are no longer to be cajoled.
The repeal of the Corn-laws, that monster-evil
which at once diminishes wages (a falsehood) by
depriving the working classes of employment
(another falsehood), and raises the price of food
(a third falsehood) by excluding that of foreign
growth from our markets, is discovered to be
of more essential worth to the working classes
than the five points of the Charter." These
are the words in which an Opposition journal
announces some change in the relation of the
Chartists to other parties. The Journal quoted
describes this change as the dissolution of an al-
liance with the Conservative party, but its own
words very plainly contradict the hypothesis of
any such alliance, for the Conservatives have
never recognised the five points, or any one
them ; and these five points are understood to
constitute the differentia of a Chartist.
True, most Conservatives, and some Chartists,
agree in a very strong dislike to the cruel-
ties and the injustice of the New Poor-law;
and it was the tactic of the Ministerial journals
of the day to treat this strong dislike of cruelty
and injustice as Chartism, and the agreement in
it as an alliance; but the dislike of cruelty and
injustice is surely no party characteristic except
negatively, as it proves a man not a Whig-
Radical ; and a community of the very
natural feeling implies no more concert
than a common liking for pure air and temperate
weather. The change in the political relation
of the Chartists, then, is not the dissolution
of an alliance with the Conservative party, be-
cause no such alliance ever existed; it is, as the
passage quoted admits, a renewal of the old alli-
ance with the W big-Radical party, a substitution
of the Whig-Radical Anti-Corn-law agitation for
the agitation of the Charter, and, along with
this substitution, au abandonment of all hostility
to the New Poor-law. This is not what we
could wish, but it is what we have from
the first known to be inevitable. It.Avas
impossible for honest men, raised a single
step above the lowest level of ignorance
—the level upon which the Chartists them-
selves move—it was impossible for any
honest man, not himself as stupid as the great
mass of Chartists, to expect any positive perma-
nent good from the miserable faction ; but still it
was to be desired that the little casual good of
which the faction was capable might be secured,
and that its activity in evil might be controlled.
The New Poor-law question was the only ques-
tion which the bulk of the Chartists could be
brought to understand, and therefore we all
saw it with pleasure when they engaged with
this question in a manner to separate them
from the Whig-Radicals, with whom they have
so many evil propensities in common. We were
gratified to see the enemies of all that is good
divided, because division restricted their power
of mischief; but we never had the least fancy to
receive either section into an alliance, though,
perhaps, of the two, we did think better of the
Chartists.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM TEE HORNING TAPERS or YESTERDAY.

POST. —ln the Foreign HoUse—iiie prin-
cipal operations were in Spanish Stock, in
which the fluctuations proved heavy. A large
operation, of which mention was made yes-
terday, turned out to be less considerable in
amount than had been reported, and gene-
rally believed. The sum talked of was
300,0001., but we understand that, in reality, it
did not exceed one-third of that amount. The
recollection of past disappointments prevents
that confidence being placed in the promises of
the Spanish Government which might other-
wise have been the case ; and while some of the
bondholders deem it wise to realise at the price
of the day, others were slowpl

into purchases, upon the
faith of present or future pledges being better
attended to than the preceding, without the
smallest guarantee of punctuality,would be an
act of unpardonable folly.
It appears that the forgery of Exchequer bills
is by no means confined to this country, but that
it is, in fact, the order of the day on some parts
of the Continent and elsewhere. We perceive
that arrests have been made in Dresden of
parties who had issued counterfeit bills on
the Prussian Treasury, and that a commis-
sioner has been sent to Paris, within the last few
days, to ascertain the existence of like forgeries
in that capital, where he first discovered them
in the window of a money changer. The commis-
sioner went in and gave an order for a consider-
able sum deliverable at a stipulated time. This
having arrived he called again with a police officer,
by whom the forgeries were seized, together wit h
the vendor; and although the proceeding- against
the latter fell to the ground, the redress he
attempted to obtain for the loss to which he had
been subjected, through the order given him to
purchase, was not afforded him. We find also
that the Portuguese Minister of Finance has just
made a special communication to the Cortes re-
quiring extraordinary measures for the suppres-
sion of the immense amount of forgery going on
in stamps, bank-notes, and public securities, as
wall as of coin, observing that, without the
powers applied for it would be impossible for
him to collect the revenues with any satisfaction
to himself. It is much apprehended by parties
conversant with the arts of engraving and stamp-
ing, that forgery is likely to increase to a fearful
extent through the promulgation of various
processes lately discovered, and particularly
in the use of the electrotype, the test
of imitation by means of which no kind of
engraving now practised is able to resist. It is
confidently asserted that coloured embossed
stamps, such as the Post-office labels, are imi-
tated at a very trifling expense to the imitator,
for even the law does not comprehend this, it
would appear, as an offence coming within the
Acts passsd for the prevention of forgery. Com-
mon receipt and bill stamps, also, are said to be
imitated with a facility beyond all belief, and at
scarcely any other cost than that of the paper,
stamp, and a small quantity of sealing-wax and
shellac. It is therefore not to be wondered at
that the greatest desire prevails in the Treasury
to introduce such improvements in this important
branch of the revenue as will effectually do
away with every temptation to the crime of for-
