small, in money ; which will be applied the moment they.
are received to the relief of those whose necessities are
most urgent. This is as it should be ; it is what the
extremity of the case demands, And, we trust, that
the announcement of the committee, that they are
ready to receive subscriptions, and to incur all the
personal trouble consequent on seeking out the fittest
objects of charity, and administering to their wants,
will not be made in vain. Under judicious management
a comparatively small sum may be made productive of
incalculable good. For example, we can state, from pri-
vate sources of information, that many of the more ex-
tensive manufacturers are willing to give large pieces of

cloth to be made into garments for those who, ai this in-
clement season of the year, have scarcely a rag where-
with to cover themselves; but then it cannot be expected
that these benevolent persons should also give the money
necessary to pay for the making of these pieces of cloth
into articleg of wearing apparel."

LITERARY AND ECIENTITIC.

A new glass tile, of great solidity and transparency,
which serves at the same time the double purpose of a
tile and skylight, has been invented by a glass-manufac-
turer at Auzia, in France. Its adoption in this country
is unfortunately hindered by the existing expensive Ex-
cise-laws.

The British Association at their last meeting, recom-
mended that experiments should be made on heated
bodies long kept in fusion : in pursuance of which cer-
tain bodies are at present in the furnace. and will not
probably be uncovered for examination before the lapse
of ten years.
There is now a Splendid model in Rome of the Coli-

THE FUNDS

The notice which Eas come down to the city this morrnng
for the funding of five millions of Exchequer Bills, together
with the French loan, has caused a decline of 4 per cent. in
Consols, they being now quoted at 89k a- for Money, and 89i ti
for the Account. Spanish Active Stock opened at 21i 24 ;

QUARTER TO THREE.
The grand panacea of the Peel Cabinet, f,r the financial
embarrassments of the country has at length been disclosed by
the notice from the Treasury relative to funding 5,000,000/.
Exchequer Bills. Now although we are not disposod exactly
to quarrel with Messrs. Peel, Goulburn, and Co.,
for the plan they have hart recourse to, supposing
a lout necessary, for such it is to all intents and purposes, we
must take leave to call to their minds the cavilling and consci-
entious objections of the party in which they rank, when Air.
Spring Rice adopted a precisely similar course, and under
much more pressing circumstances. Being on the Opposition or
the Ministerial benches, however, makes a wonderful alteration
in the sentiments of some men, and we suppose the Tories v ill
not be deemed by any one bomb-proof against the bes;eging
charms of office. We have a word or two besides to. urge
against the constitutionality of any Minister of the Crown
borrowing what money he pleases, without asking the con-
sent of the people, whose pockets will have to answer
for the payment of it. The sanction of Parliament after the
thing is done is very little consolation, this being merely what
is tritely styled " French leave," and we are not pre, ared to
to allow that, because Spring Rice set a bad example, Mr.
Goulburn should follow it. In other points, it is certainly prefer-
able to prevent gambling in the funds by converting Exchequer
13111 s in lieu of taking an open loan. After clearing the :Mar-
ket of five millions sterling of Exchequer Bills, the new Go •
vernment will have a clear stage for another issue of bills,
which poor John Bull must accept.

LAW /I ND POLICE.

Richard Eustace and Mary Ann Haggart, charged with
the murder of William Hazzard, aged 74, at Greenwich.
on Saturday last, were brought a second time before the
sitting Magistrate yesterday, when the policeman stated
at length the circumstances of the case. Both prisoners
denied the charge, and were remanded until Saturday next.
Yesterday a young Irishwomen, named Hogan, was
brought before the Magistrate at Hatton-garden, on a
charge of attempting to drown herself in the New River.
Having been seduced, she was turned out of her situa-
tion, and being refused all relief from her seducer, and
being without a friend in this country, she attempted
self-destruction. Every attention was paid her by the
Magistrate, and a small sum given her from the poor-
box, till she could be admitted into the workhouse.
At Union-Hall James Glenee was committed' to take
his trial, for a:tempting to stab John Lewis hitcher.
The complainant stated that the prisoner had been dis-
charged from his situation, in consequence of certain re-
presentations which he considered himself called upon to
make to his employer, and to that circumstance alone he
attributed the assault.

A butcher of the name of Thompson was fined 51. at
Thames-street for an outrageous assault upon a boy ten
years of age, who he said had annoyed him, and pulled
the tail of his coat on Saturday. According to the evi-
dence of two women, the defendant seized the boy by the
jacket and trousers and dashed him on the ground,
where he lay for some time insensible.
At Lambeth-street a man of the name of Wiseman, said
to b 3 in excellent business, and also to have come into
the possession of considerable property by the death of
a relative, was charged with obtaining goods by fraudu-
lent pretences. He was remanded till two other parties
implicated in the transaction are to be brought up.

It is stated on good authority that a spirited contest
on the vart of the Reformers would successfully contest
Portanington with the Hon. Dawson Darner, lately ap-
pointed Comptroller of the Household.
On Friday the official declaration of the poll was made

the parish of St. Anne's, Soho, numbers 20 new claims,
and 54 objections by both parties. In St. Clement's
Danes there are 18 new claims, and nearly 150 objec-
tions from all parties.
The result of the Sunderland election has induced
many to augur that a successful opposition to the Tory
party will be more than ever established at Westmore-
land against Alderman Thompson.
Lord Lincoln was on Monday last re-elected at Not-
tingham without opposition.

PROPERTY-TA X ASSOCIATION.

Mr. 'WAKLEY presented a petition from Henry
Jones, Honorary Secretary to a newly formed Associa-
tion, called the London' Property-tax Association, in-
stitu:ed to promote a tax on property in lieu of the taxes
of Customs and Excise. The petitioners stated that
property was able to take care of itself, but poverty
needed the protection of the law. He - therefore
proposed a tax on property, and prayed the
House to take the subject into consideration during.the
present Session. The Hon. Member also presented a
petition from 204 persons connected with agriculture at
Milton Abbot, Devon, praying for the repeal of the ex-
isting duties on sugar. corn, and timber.

THE CORN LAW► .

MOVEMENT IN GLASGOW.

GLASGOW, THURSDAY EYENit;o.—The unsettled and
unsatisfactory state of dommercial affairs in this large
manufacturing community, in consequence of the deter-
mination of the Tory party by every mea4 in their
power to stifle. all inquiry into the iriurious effects of
the Corn and Provision laws, has alllhngth roused the
mercantile and manufacturing classes from their apathy._
Sir Robert Peel must no longer delay a full discussion'
in Parliament of these important questions: To-day, a
requisition to the Lord Provost has been laid down for
signature at the Royal Exchange, and in a few hours
has received the signatures of the most respectable and
influential mercantile and manufacturing firms in the
city. Indeed, no requisition presented to the merchants
and manufacturers of Glasgow was ever so readily and
promptly signed as this one has been. Insteadof keep-
ing the requisition open for signatures fur several days,
as is usually the case, the present one has met with such
it hearty respouse that it will be presented to the Lord.
Provost to-morrow ; who, it i; understood, will call the
meeting for this day week. The following is a copy of
the requisition :
" We respectfully request that your Lordship will.
have the goodness to call a meeting of the Parliamentary
electors of the city of Glasgow upon an early day for
the purpose of considering the very distressed state of
the country and the alarming prospects or the enstiing
winter, and of memorialising the Queen, praying her
:Majesty not to prorogue the two Houses of Parliament
until they have entered upon a full consideration of the
corn and Provision-laws, which, in the opinion of the
requisitionists, are the main causes of the existing silt.-
feririgs of the people."
Thero can be no doubt that the business classes in
this city now look to a repeal of these laws as the only
means of keeping their factories open, end retaining their
pr,sent position in society. I need not enlarge, neither
need I again detail to you the distressing state of trade
in this city, and this densely-populated manufacturing
district. Every person faels the pressure, less or mop.,
and every person is anxicus for a remedy, and that r.!.-
triedy they now clearly see is a repeal of the Corn aud
Provision-laws.
London, England, 1841-09-21

MISCELLANEOUS.

This day is the anniversary of the murder of King
Edward the Second, in Berkeley Castle, at the instiga-
tion of his Queen. None of the monasteries adjacent to
the Castle would receive the murdered body of the King,
except Gloucester, where he was buried.
The late Secretary of the Sunderland Chartist Associ-
ation, Mr. James O'Neil, was drowned on Monday while
bathing in the sea off Hendon, near Sunderland.
A Slgian paper states that the steam-ship, the British
Queen, is preparing for a voyage to Constantinople.
An advertisement in the Times states 'that an extra-
ordinary fasting man, named Bernard Cavanagh, is now
exhibiting himself at the Hanover-square Rooms. If the
Tory Ministers refuse much longer to alter the Corn-
laws, " extraordinary fasting men" will be by no means
an uncommon exhibition. The monopoly system is a
capital recipe for producing them.
At a recent Protestant Association Meeting at.Wy-
conabe, a clergyman declared publicly that the " return
of a Tory majority of ninety-one to the House of Com-
mons must be attributed to the Great God of Heaven
alone ! "

RUMOURS Or THE HAT.

Unless the meetings throughout the country produce
an impression, Sir Robert Peel and the " tyrant majo-
rity " Parliament will sit only about three weeks longer.
Tuesday the 12th of October is the day named for the
prorogation.

imports were fair.

to. Company's C.ngou offered at ls. 10d. cash.

Prices were firm ; P. Y. Candle brought 48s. 9d. per cwt.
WHITECHAPEL HAY MARKET.

tions. Clover, :3/. to 61. ; Meadow Hay, •2/. to 41. 15s. ;
Straw, 1/. 18s. to 21. 2s.

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BRIGH-
TON ,RAILWAY.—DELAY OF THE PASSENGER TRAIN.—
The arrival of the last down-train from London to Brighton
was delayed for about two hours on Sunday evening in conse-
quence of an accident which happened on the line at Hooley-
lane, previous to its arrival at that place. We have collected
the fallowing particulars, which we believe to be authentic.—
An engine was attached to a single carriage, which contained
a number of signal flags, which Mr. Barratt, a superintendent
of the works, was distributing along the line. Mr. Barratt
was accompanied by his wife. On reach.ng Hooley.lane they
came in violent collision with a train of earth •carts. The en-
gine was thrown off the line, and the carts were upset and
smashed. Two men seated in the carts sustained considerable
injury, but our informant states that they were not seriously
lust. Mr. Barran and his wife escaped unhurt. We have not
heard to whom blame is attributable. The overthrew of the
earth-carts blocked up the road, and prevented the down-train
(which was apprised of the accident) from passing until the
earth was cleared away. The delay caused a good deal of
anxiety in Brighton on Sunday evening.
ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES
RAILWAY.—On Saturday night, about ten o'clock, a dreadful
accident happened on this railway to an engine driver of the
name of Samueit Alson, aged thirty-six, living at Maryland
Point, Stratford: It seemed that the train had just as rived at
Stratford, and was proeeeding gently towards the statioo,.
when the unfortunat man fell off the engine, and the wheels oil
several carriages passed over one of his legs, which presented
a horrid spectacle, the flesh being stripped off from the knee
downwards. He was immediately conveyed to the London
Hcspital by a constable of the railway, and several other per-
sos.s, where amputation of the limb was performed shortly
afterwards, but the man lies in considerable danger.

BRIGHTON RAILWAY.

Brighton is peculiarly circumstanced, and is almost
without parallel in England. Surrounded by a country
not very attractive, this town (we had almost said city)
has, nevertheless, risen to be our most fashionable water-
ing .place. The residence of Royalty, it naturally
draws around it the great and wealthy ; its fine
air, magnificent downs, and its vicinity to the sea,
attract many in search of health and pure air ;
whilst its easy distance from town crowds it with
the families of eminent merchants, opulent tradesmen,
and wealthy citizens, who seek a week's relaxation and
forgetfulness from the cares of town and trade. For-
merly the whole of Brighton was contained between
the western boundary of the Steyne and West-street. To
the east of the Steyne there was but one building—
a public library ; and beyond West-street there were
only a few detached cottages, so that the town consisted
of but eight principal streets, North-street, Market-
street, East-street, Middle-street, Kent-street, Black-
lion-street, and West-street, although in 1760 it con-
tained, besides these, many lanes, and some spaces sur-
rounded with houses, called by the inhabitants squares.
The most fashionable parts of the town are the Cliffs,
and several squares and streets branching from them, and
also what are commonly called the Old Steyne and the
North Steyne, comprising the Pavilion and Grand
Parades, as well as Gloucester, Marlborough, and St.
George's-places.

One of the greatest improvements is the section of
Kemp Town, situated to the eastward of Brighton, at a
place called Black Rock. The whole has a southern as-
pect, and includes a large square, opening from the centre
of a crescent, with a space of 800 feet. The fronts of the
houses are adorned with columns, pilasters, and entabla-
tures of the Corinthian order, surrounded by correspond-
ing balustrades ; and the crescent and square are en-
closed with rails of a new and elegant design. There
is a fine esplanade in front, with a tunnel from
the lawn. The whole extent of the building facade ex-
ceeds three thousand feet. Several of the nobility occupy
mansions here.

Brighton owes its present greatness to a visit of the Prince
of Wales, afterwards George IV., in 1782. During many
years he passed the summer and autumnal months at a house
on the Steyne. In 1824 this mansion was pulled down,
and the present Pavilion built. At a period when railways
were planned, which should connect the great towns with
the metropolis, Brighton received more than her share of
ill,. attention of railway projectors, and six rival engineers
ontepded for the hogour of =king her railroad,

A Treasury messenger was sent off with dispatches
this morning for her Majesty at Windsor Castle.—
Evening Paper.

PUBLIC NUISANCE.—About three months ago
the house, No. 126, Strand, next to the Globe Newspaper
Office, was pulled down, and during nearly the whole of
that period the passengers in the street, and more parti-
cularly the inhabitants of the neighbouring houses, have
been grievously annoyed by the dust raised in removing
the rubbish. A hoard has been erected all that time,
the street consequently is greatly obstructed, and as far as
can be seen from the operations going on the nuisance
may continue for six months more. Only a few old men
are
employed in carrying out rubbish daily, as it. for. the
purpose of annoying the iphOitants. The District Sur.
v.py.ov, and still more the authorities who preside over
the Duchy of Lancaster, are greatly to blame in winking
at the nuisance. We have always understood that when
permission was granted to erect a hoard for such a pur-
pose, the shortest time possible, in a great thoroughfare
like the Strand, was allowed for fie-constructing the
building.

CHARACTER OF MAN.—As storm following,
storm, and wave succeeding wave, giie additional hard-
ness to the shell that encloses. the pearl, so do the storms
and waves of life add force to the character of man.

The state of trade at Bolton continues in an alarming

In Wiltshire the condition of the labourers is frightful.
They cannot find employment, and are driven to commit
petty thefts to keep body and soul together.
