A public meeting took place which was numerously at-
tended, relative to the refusal of Lord John Russell to
alter the arrangement by which the Government of this
Island is annexed to that of 13.4badoes. There was a
general expression of regret that those who had originated
or signed the counter-petition praying that . the present
vrangitiont might be adhered to, did not attend the
Meeting.
The following resolution was moved :—" That this
meeting deeply regret th her Majesty's Government
should have refused to make any alteration in the recent
arrangement with respect to the rank of the Governor of
Trinidad, and still more deeply regret that an opportunity
should be afforded to ground such refusal on the plea of
there being a conflict of opinions in this island on the
subject.

the cause of this decline, as it does not hold out any
favourable prospects for the Bondholders ; Spanish Active

—Last Friday the inhabitants of Halifax and its neigh-
bourhood, met and adopted a petition to Parlianiel t,
for the abolition of the bread tax.

STATE OF OUR OPERATIVES -Tlic ac-
counts from our manufacturing districts are most alarm-
ing. We are in a crisis of appalling and perplexing
danger ; and it seems but too probable that certain
parties of professedly the most opposite politics are mi-
uisterino•' to the peril, rather than the deliverance, of
society from the impending calamity.—Scottish
LONGEVITY.-The village and pariah of We
have always been considered as very salubrious ; the
population does not exceed 750, and yet there are
thirteen persons living there between the ages of 80
and 90 ; sixteen between 70 and 80 ; and twenty-nine
between 60 and 70. Western Times.

corresponding with the costume of the Order. Tl►e

border and buckle, are composed of diamonds, set in
the most exquisite vyle, and forming altogether an or-
nament of the most brilliant and unique description.

FOOL HARDINESS.--FATAL ACCIDENT ON
THE LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY. ---Uu
-
Friday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Payne,
at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of Thomas
Haywood, aged 22, a breaksman on the above line.
From the evi'lence of Mr. Hargrave, one of the Green-
wich Magistrates, it appeared that on Thursday after.
noon he was riding from London in the carriage next
behind the.engine, when, between St. John's, Horsely-
down, and St. James's, Bermondsey, he perceived de-
ceived scrambling along the near side of ar
riage from the front towards the bac the c-
k f it.
He was holding by the windows which o
were
down, and his feet were apparently on the springs.
Deceased proceeded towards the front of the carriage, and
witness, thinking he had reached there in safety, looked
out and saw him lying on the path, strugging and rolling
on the ground. A platela)er employed on the line said
deceased was very imprudent and daring, and in the
habit of climbing backwards and forwards from ono
carriage to the other. His proper place was in front
of tha carriages, and not Lehind them. Mr. Western,
surgeon of the hospital, said no heavy substance had
pased over deceased. His kidneys and liver were ex-
tensively lacerated, and his collar and blade bones frac-
tured in several places, which was caused by his being
violently dashed against the wail of the line, or against
the road. He died four hours after his admission of the
frightful injuries received. Verdict—" Accidental death.
