rich form themselves into Chambers, so may
the poor ; and in time we may have a Cham-
ber of Manufacturers or Masters, to which
might be opposed a Chamber of Weavers or of
Servants, each tormenting the Government
with statements of grievances. We had an in-
stance of what a Chamber of Weavers did last
year in overawing one of the three branches
of the Legislature—we mean the Spitalfields'
Wearers, who infused such fears into the Lords,
that they dare not pass the Bill regarding the
Spitalfields' Acts. On the same principle this
Chamber of Weavers might have intimidated the
King. Party Aristocracies are very dangerous
things, and all Governments should discourage
them.

A commercial letter, dated Antwerp, 26th ult.
says—The trade of this place has certainly increased of late,
though we must always rate behind Amsterdam with respect
to the general business of Continental Europe. From the Bra-
zils we receive consignments similar in fact to what takes place
at Amsterdam. There is at present, however, but little life in
commerce.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.--A Gentleman of the
name of FRAMPTON was thrown from his horse
on Friday, at Newington, and killed. The acci-
dent was occasioned by the horse shying at an
organ, when he reared on his hind legs and fell
over upon the rider, who was taken up senseless,
and died shortly after.
SHOCKING SUICIDE.—On Saturday night an
inquest held at the Admiral Carter public-house, Bartholo-
mew-close, before T. SHELTON, Esq., upon the body of
John Walsh Fairbanks, a young man, about 25 years of age,
the son of reputable parents, residing at Walsall, Stafford-
shire. It appeared the deceased had been a clerk upwards
of three years in the employment of Messrs. Atkinson, Eldrid,
and Son, saddlery ironmongers, Fore-street; that they had
latterly missed some of their property, but, from the respec-
tability of the deceased's family, and the high opinion they
entertained of his integrity, their suspicions were never, until
within these few days, directed towards him. He was on
Friday preparing to leave town on the following morning, when
Mr. Eldrid, about three o'clock, accompanied by an officer,
called at his lodgings, No. 19, Bartholomew-place, where they
found him sitting in the parlour; after communicating the
object of their visit, he went up stairs as if for his hat, entered
his bed-room, and (with his own razor) cut his throat, so as to
nearly separate his head from his body. The Jury, on hearing
the evidence adduced, returned a verdict of—lnsanity.
henry Calverley, who was charged with the
murder of MARY GILL, (whose body has not yet been found),

Thomas "ever, who was left for execution at
Maidstone, is respited until further orders.
Saturday a reprieve was received at Lancaster,
from Mr. Justice BAYLEY, at York, for John Atkinson, now
under sentence of death for forgery, in Liverpool.
