THE CURRENCY.
A numerous meeting of the factory hands of Broom-
ward Mill was held in the schoolhouse belonging to the
factory, upon Monday afternoon last, at half-past two
o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consideration their
condition, as experienced under the present depressed
state of the cotton trade, and in order also to petition
the Legislature to devise such steps as may be best
suited to relieve the suffering industry of the eoentry.
Mr. Mackinlay, manager of the mill, in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the business of the
meeting, briefly dwelt upon a few of the causes which
apparently operate in producing the present embarrass-
ments in the commercial interests of the country, and the
consequent evil effects which have ensued, and at the
present time do unhappily prevail in the manufacturing
districts, the existence of short time, with its many con-
comitant hardships, which the meeting, with many of the
factory operatives of the district, still have occasion to
deplore. After noticing the beneficial effect it might
tend to produce, were the operatives generally to lay
their case before Parliament, the meeting unanimously
resolved that the following petition be forthwith signed
by the workers, and that it be entrusted to the care of
Alexander 'Jostle, Esq., M.P., for the city, forpresenta-
tion to the House :
" Unto the Honourable the Commons of Great
Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled,
" The Petition of the undersigned Cotton Workmen
of Messrs. James Dunlop and Sons, Broomward

'At a recent sitting of the Academy of Reims the
following instance was related of the power of ether:—
A carpenter trod on a nail, which entered his foot. The
wound was alight, and soon became cicatrised; but just
as he was nearly cured he was seized by the most violent
symptom of lock jaw, his limbs becoming stiff, his teeth
closed, and suffocation appearing imminent. A doctor,
seeing that none of the ordinary means afforded any re-
lief, determined to make the patient inhale ether. The
linibs then assumed their ordinary flexibility, but imme-
dialtely the inhalation ceased the attack returned. It
was, however, observed that after each inhalation the
gravity of the attack diminished; and at length, after
fifteen days' treatment, the patient was cured, and able
to walk a distance of two leagues to thank the dostor.--

N.B. The above statements show that the Directors
of the Bank of England have discharged liabilities to the
amount of 257,7331., by decreasing the assets' account
only 214,3051., being a difference of 43,428/. The Bank
obtained a profit (or added to the rest) to this amount,
and used the ready cash to discharge such balance of
liabilities' account, without charging the:assets' account
with the whole amount—thus leaving the amount of
additional rest at interest under the head securities.
