MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of November 10.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was rather more activity in the
Raw market, but no improvement occurred in prices, al-
though there was a falling off in the quantity of all descrip-
tions brought forward.
REFINED,— To-day Refined Goods were purchased with
caution by the home trade, and prices declined from 63s to
63s 6d for brown melting lumps, 64s to 64s 6d for brown
grocery, and 65s to 65s 6d for standard lumps. In Bonded
Crushed Sugar there was little passing, and there are sellers
of first quality at 33s 3d per cwt.
31sultiritrs.—Holders have manifested firmness, but there
has been only a limited business transacted by private treaty
in any kind. At auction 5,703 bags were all taken in and
withdrawn 2s to 3s per cwt above the value.
FOREIGN.—AII kinds have met with little attention by
private contract for home consumption, but white, yellow,
and brown are held for the previous currency. At auction
542 hhds and 70 barrels of Porto Rico were sold. Foreign
has been sparingly dealt in by exporters and our refiners
working under bond, but holders are firm, and will not sell
but at full prices.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon four parcels of Bengal Sugar
amounting to 4,203 bags were offered at public sale, and
the whole sold at a decline on former rates of 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little passing pri-
vately in any kind of Coffee for home consumption or expor-
tation. Ceylon good ordinary native can be obtained at 38s
per cwt.
Smarrs.—Previous improved rates have been fully sus-
tained for all descriptions of Jamaica Rum, and the demand
has been active. For Leeward Islands the demand has been
good, but no further rise in prices can be quoted. East India
is wanted, and fetch full rates. Demerara has been in good
request at the previous value Any further advance ,in the
value of Brandy has been prevented from taking place by the
announcement of a large public sale ; but holders are firm,
and the demand has been good for all descriptions.
A further:decrease has taken place in the stock of Brandy.
To-day there was less demand for all kinds of Rum, but
holders were unwilling to make any concession in price, as
the stock is diminishing.
SricEs.—Cassia Lignea has met with attention, and rather
higher rates ; black Pepper has not risen in value. In
white several purchases have been made privately chiefly
at 4d to 6d per lb. Ginger is still wanted, but
quotations have ceased to rise. For brown Nutmegs
the demand has been good, and the rates equal to
those .previously current. Mace is much wanted
and prices tend upwards. In Cinnamon several purchases
have been made upon the last quarterly sale. For Cloves
the demand has been limited. Cassia Buds are held firmly at
62s to 66s per cwt. Pimento has been in excellent request,
and a further improvement occurred in prices.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cachineal met with atten-
tion ; 211 bags Honduras silvers at auction all sold at ld per
lb. advance.

TEA.—The market has an improving appearance for Black,
the demand for all sorts much increased, and the business
transacted has been greater than for some time. In Green
many purchases have been made, and there are not sellers
upon previous terms.

Fuirr.---At public sale 52 butts 5 crtls 7 brls Cephalonia
Currants damaged, all sold from 53s to 55s ; 55 butts 32 crtls
46 brls Patras, 53s to 58s; 7,480 drums of Turkey Figs at
37s to 48s.

Oars.—The market has still an improving appearance for
Olive Oil ; there has been an extensive demand chiefly from
the home trade, and prices moving upwards. Linseed Oil
met with less attention, and prices have fallen 9d per cwt.
Rape Seed Oil has been extensively dealt in, and prices are
yet on the advance, the supply being less than it was. For
Cocoa Nut the demand has been active, but any further
advance in the value has been prevented from occurring
by the market being less freely supplied. In Palm there
has been a good business transacted, but holders have been
compelled to take rather lower rates.
TALLOW.—A further decline occurred in the value of all
descriptions, a large quantity of Russian having been again
received, and arrivals of other descriptions having been upon
a more extended scale, while large parcels from all quarters
are likewise near at hand.

BURGLARY IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.—Yesterday morn-
ing a very daring robbery was committed at the Harp
public-house, opposite the pit entrance of Drury-lane
Theatre, in Little Russell-street. It appeared from the
information received by the police, that shortly after
three o'clock the private watchman was passing the
above house, when he tried the front door, and found it
unfastened. A respectably dressed man was standing
at the door at the time, and exclaimed, " Oh, it's all
right ; it's only young Morgan, the son of the landlord,
gone in." The watchman, however, suspected that
something was wrong, and accordingly proceeded to the
Bow-street police-station, and informed the inspector on
duty. The latter immediately went to the house, and
aroused the inmates, and on proceeding to the parlour,
they found several port wine bottles emptied of their
contents, and ascertained that a dozen pork pies had
been demolished by the hungry thieves. The till had
been forced open, and 255. in fourpenny pieces, and a
quantity of copper money was stolen therefrom ; two
boxes of cigars were also taken from the bar. The
thieves effected an entrance by the parlour window,
which faces King's Head-yard, at the side of the house.
The house was searched by the police, but the thieves
had escaped while the watchman was gone to Bow-street
DEATH FROM DRUNKENNESS AND RECKLESS
DRlVlNG.—Yesterday morning at an early hour, a young
man named Thomas Roberts, aged twenty-one years, in
the service of Mr. Wheatley, coach proprietor at Green-
wich, met his death under reckless circumstances. The
deceased and several shopmates had been to a supper,
which had been given to celebrate some event connected
with their employer, and whilst on the way home, a little
elevated, two of them stopped to speak before they sepa-
rated. At the moment a light chaise cart containing
two individuals passed by at a rapid speed towards town,
and before either could reach the footpath, they were
both knocked down by the cart which the driver did not
stop, but continued to drive at the same rapid speed until
out of sight. The man Roberts was insensible, and
was carried to the nearest surgeon's, where it was ascer-
tained that he had received a fracture of the base of the
skull, a severe scalp wound, and other injuries. He was
subsequently conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he ex-
pired in a few hours after his admission. The other
man is going on favourably. When the police were
made acquainted with the circumstances a mounted
messenger went in pursuit of the persons in charge of
the cart, but owing to the time that had elapsed, the de-
linquents An inquest will be held

south, providentially passed near the boat at the time of
the accident. The men were all picked up, and give

saving them, and his kindness to them afterwards.—
Elgin Courier.
REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—Yester-
day there was a reduction of one halfpenny on the 41b.
loaf of bread throughout the metropolis.
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—
Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Goodman charged a person named
James Collins, at the Liverpool Police Court, on Friday,
with having attempted to rob her, as she w

county magistrates ; and the lady was requested to per-

little doubt but he was an old practitioner upon the
pockets of unprotected females.
RAILWAY NEGOTIATION.—The negotiation between
the London and North Western Railway Company, and
the Leeds and Dewsbury Company and the Huddersfield
and Manchester Company, has, it appears, been resumed.
It appears that an offer was made by the London and

" 0 Connell, Old Ireland, and Repeal!"'
Now he (Mr. O'Connell) felt proud of the compliments
?aid him in this letter, and would join with the writer
in asking what had Old Ireland done?—(Cheers.)
Mr. O'NEILL DLUNT having addressed the meeting at
some length, said that the very men who had seceded
from the Association and charged them with supporting
an anti-repeal Government, were the same clique who
supported the Tories on the Bequest Act and the Irish
Colleges Act.—(Hear, hear.) Sueh in fact was the
conduct of those men, that their policy was approved of
by the Mail and other such papers, and that was say-
ing enough for them.—(Cheers.)
Mr. JoIN AUGUSTUS O'NEILL next came forward,
and made a long speech in reference to the resolutions
upon which th• differences arose between the Associa-
tion and trite Young Ireland party. He said that he
believed that the Association would yet receive them as
its prodigal children; and expressed a hope that they
would comae forward and abandon a policy which
amounted to a caution to the Government never to grant
repeal.—(Hear, hear.) They, the Young Irelanders,
wore pledged to "moral force " under the: Rotunda
pledge of the 30th of May, 1845, until the obtaining of
repeal; and the Government consequently had their re-
cognizances until it was granted, and of course would
not grant a measure which would give any body of men
an opportunity of drawing the sword.
Some more money having been handed in and acknow-
ledged,

Mr. O'CONNELL rose to make the speech of the day.
He said, an accident would prevent his entering into the
present prospects of repeal—the state of the country—
and replying to the Cork repeaters. The accident he
alluded to was the illness of his clerk. However, he
hoped at the next meeting to enter fully into those sub-
jects.—(Hear, hear.) He regretted the postponement
with regard to the people of Cork, because he had heard
that the results of division in that city was likely to let
in the enemies of Ireland to office—to let in a Tory Lord
Mayor.—(Cries of " Shame, shame.") Such was the
handiwork of Young Ireland. Now, the Nation of
Saturday had stated that be (Mr. O'Connell) had called
that party a phalanx, but he begged pardon of the
Nation, aid wished to say that it had originated the
name itself, and he had only adopted it, and Mr. O'Brien
had confirmed it. He did not care what the young gen-
tlemen called themselves, whether a young phalanx, or
an old phalanx, or a " noble phalanx;'' they might adopt
the latter name if they pleased; and they were still
satisfied with being called Old Irelanders.—(Loud
cheers.) There was then a noble phalanx on the ono
aide, and the Repeal Association on the other.—
(Lo cheers.) cheers.) Mr. O'Brien—the head of this noble
vhartasx—said he (Mr. O'Connell) was ugly, but, un-
fortunately, he could not help it, and he thought
was rather harsh to abuse him for what he
"mold not help; however, he was satisfied with the
reflection, that some of the Young Irelander3 were no
great beauties themselves—(Hear, hear, and laughter)
—and he wondered would any of them ever live to stand
before an Irish audience to ask if they had struggled for
their country for half a century ?—(Hear.) This noble
6, physical force phalanx" was employed in doing nothing
for Ireland.—(Hear.) Why, he would ask, did they not
forman aiseciation for themselves ? He would tell the
reason why. It was because they were afraid with all
their professions, and thought it safer to fight with types
than to resort to the sword, which
and printer's devils,
they lauded so much.—(Hear, hear.) Thoy were, in
fact, as they said, a literary phalanx, with no brigadier-
general—at least, who was to fill that post he did not
know.—(Bear.) It was is be a literary violence they
were to employ—they were to use their quills as pikes,
and their pencils as bayonets ; such was the Young Ire-
lander's conrage.—(Cheerz.) The Learned Gentleman
having again referred to the state of the country, and
the destitution in different parts of it, concluded by
atating that he was to attend a meeting of the Royal
Agricultural Society, on Wednesday, and said he hoped
that body would adopt a liberal policy with reference to
their condition.

The rent was then announced at 8 8 /.
Mr. J. A. O'Neill was called to the chair, and the
meeting separated shortly after three o'clock.

intended to be made to Parliament in the next session
for an Act to construct wharfs, docks, and piers, and
other buildings at or near Gallows Reach, in the River
Thames; and also a branch to connect the Eastern
Counties with the docks. The line will commence at
the docks, near the boundary line of the parishes of
Barking and Woolwich, and pass through Woolwich,
Barking, East 11am, and West Ham, and terminating at
West Ham by a junction with the Eastern Counties, at

THE RUGBY STATION OP TEE LONDON AND NORTH-
WESTERN.—The London and North Western have pur-
chased thirteen acres of land whereon to erect a new
station at Rugby—the one now in use being inefficient
to the present and the anticipated traffic—when the pro-
posed junctions at Rugby with the Oxford and Rugby,
Rugby and Stamford, Rugby, Leamington, and War-
wick, and the Trent Valley lines will be completed. The
number of trains running into this station amount now to
fifty a day.
The South-Eastern are expending 100,0001 in the
erection of as extensive factory adjacent to the line at
Ashford, covering several acres of ground. It is in-
tended for the manufacturing and repair of looomotives,
their present premises at New Cross being inconvenient,
as well as being the depot of the Croydon and Brighton
Companies. There are also erecting at Ashford cot-
tages for four hundred workmen, with a railway church.
The London and North-Western are building locomotive
factories at Wolverton, which, when completed, will cost
nearly about the same sum.

MILITARY PUNISHMENT.—Last evening a meeting
of the gentlemen who have formed themselves into a
committee for " purchasing the discharge of Privates
Mathewson and Cook, witnesses at the late coroner's
inquest at Hounslow, from the 7th Hussars," took place
at Mr. G. Walters's, the Blue Posts Tavern, Shoe-lane,
Fleet-street. Mr. Justine, the honorary secretary, stated
that a penny subscription had been commenced. Between
thirty and forty boxes had been distributed by the corn-
raittee among licensed victuallers. The committee at
present had about 151. in hand. In addition there were
between 6/. and 71. in private hands, and about 101. in the
boxes. Mr. Beheny asked what was the amount required
to purchase the discharge of Mathewson and Cook. The
chairman replied 501., being 301. for Mathewson, as he
had not been in the regiment but a few months, and 201.
for Cook, as he had been in the service about ten years.
Mr. Beheny—Have the authorities at the War-office the
power to refuse the money when tendered fur the dis-
charge of privates? Upon this a discussion arose, and
it appeared that the War-office had the power, but seldom
exercised it. The meeting soon after separated.
THE NEW HOUSES Os' PARLlAMENT.—resterday
were printed, by order of the House of Commons, four
reports from the Select Committee of the House of Lords
appointed to inquire into the progress of the building of
the Houses of Parliament, together with the minutes of
evidence. The Committee, in February and March last,
examined Mr. Barry, Dr. Reid, Mr. A. Milne, and Mr.
J. Gwilt, and, in their first 'report, declared that the
system of ventilation contemplated by Dr. Reid could
not be carried into effect for some years, as it depended
on the completion of the central and Victoria towers.
" The Committee are satisfied, from the evidence given
before them, that the House of Lords may without diffi-
culty be completed with permanent fittings for the open-
ing of Parliament next year." In the second report the
Committee stated, that they had examined Mr. G.
Gurney as to the best system of ventilation, and were of
opinion that further inquiries and experiments should be
made before the final adoption of any plan hitherto pro-
posed for that purpose. Before the third report was
made Mr. Barry was again examined, and they reported,
" That the Committee have met and further considered
the subject-matter referred to them, and have examined
two witnesses in relation thereto, and the Committee are
of opinion that the only impediment to the preparation
of the new House of Lords for the commencement of the
seesion of 1847 arises from a delay in the arrangement
for warming and ventilating the apartment according
to the views of Dr. Reid. That the architect has ex-
pressed his willingness to undertake the warming and
ventilation of the new House upon a plan of his own and
on his own responsibily. That the Committee are con-
vinced that if this proposal of the architect be not ac-
cepted, the occupation of their new House by the Peers
will be postponed to an indefinite period." Mr. Barry
and Dr. Reid: were further examined before the fourth
report was presented. The Committee had received an
assurance from the architect that the House would be in
a fit state for the occupation of the Lords at the opening
of the session next year. " The attention of the Coin-
mittee having been called by the Lord Great Chamber-
lain to the inconvenience which has been felt from the
manner in which the House has been crowded on state
occasions, they aro of opinion no ladies, except peer-
esses and their daughters, should be permitted to sit in
the new House upon any of the benches in the division
nearest the throne, and that all the front benches through-
out the House, and two more benches on each side in the
centre division, should be reserved exclusively for the
use of the Lords." The reports, with the evidence, ex.
tend to forty-nine folio pages ; they are now given in
one Parliamentary document.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A CAT.--On Mon-
day evening the following serious accident occurred
owing to the loss of a cat from the apartments of the
Duchess of Inverness, at Kensington Palace. In
the course of the afternoon the cat, which was a great
favourite, was missed from the palace. A search was
immediately made, but puss could nowhere be found.
About seven o'clock, Bartholomew Mahony, an old man,
upwards of 60 years of age, who has for years been colt,-
keeper at the palace, while on the palace green, heard
a cat mewing in the direction of the new buildings in
the Queen's-road, now formed through the palace gar-
dens, and went towards the spot, believing it to be the
lost cat, and in looking for the animal he fell into the
space dug out for the foundation of one of the new
houses. He was extricated by tWpolice and carried to
St. George's Hospital, where it was ascertained that one
of the old man's legs were broken, and that he had sus-
tained other severe injuries.
CRUELTY TO A DONKEY.—At the County Magis-
trates' Office, Rochester, on Monday, William Tassel], a
blacksmith, living at Chatham, was charged with having
poured boiling water into a donkey's ear, The donkey,
' belencring to a wood dealer, was passing through Rhode-
street, when the defendant came out of the forge, and
holding the animal by the ear, poured the water into it
from a saucepan. The donkey, writhing with agony, ran
back some distance, and it became necessary to place it
under the care of a farrier. The poor animal refused
its food for several days. The magistrates, after severely
censuring the defendant for his cruelty, convicted him in
a penalty of 205., including costs.
ASSISTANCE TO THE WEAK..---Last week, while a
farmer at Ompton, Notts, was ploughing, accompanied
by his shepherd dog, a hare, pursued by a large weazel,
ran into the field where they were. The dog stood a
spectator for some time, until the poor hare was almost
exhausted, and nearly overtaken by its pursuer, when
the dog ran across, and having seized and killed the
WeUel) allowed the bare to mule her cgurae unmolested.

ALARMING FIRE NEAR THE REGENT'S-PARK.—
Last evening, between the hours of seven and eight
o'clock, a fire of a very alarming nature broke out in the
private residence, belong to Mrs. Needham, No. 12,
Stanhope-street, Park-place, Regent's-park. It appears
that whilst the inmates were conversing together in the
drawing-room they were alarmed at hearing the crack-
ling of wood, and smelling fire very strongly. Upon
making examination, it was ascertained that the two-
pair back-room was in flames. An instant attempt was
made to confine the flames to that room, by pouring
buckets of water upon them, but those so engaged were
soon obliged to abandon the place, for the fire had
already obtained such a strong hold that it speedily
communicated to the front room on the same floor ; and
having travelled through the roof, the flames rose to an
alarming height. The inmates of the adjoining building,
being apprehensive that the fire would not be confined
to one house, tore away the upper windows, and com-
menced throwing their furniture into the street ; which
was afterwards removed to the grounds of the Edinburgh
Castle Tavern for protection. By so doing, considerable
damage was done to the costly articles by breakage and
water. Information having been dispatched on the out-
break to the several engine stations belonging to the
London Brigade, with all promptitude the engines from
Wells-street, Crown-street, High Holborn, King-street,
and Baker-street, arrived. Unfortunately, however, the
firemen had to wait upwards of 20 minutes before any
water could be procured from the mains ; meanwhile
the fire continued to descend the staircase, and through
the flooring into the rooms beneath. Water having at
length been obtained, the engines were immediately set
to work, and being worked by the firemen and a strong
muster of soldiers from the Albany-street Barracks, the
flames were by nine o'clock entirely extinguished. The
damage done is considerable, but, fortunately, Mrs.
Needham was insured in the County dice. The origin
of the fire could not be ascertained.
SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night
last an accident of a dreadful character took place on the
Lancaser and Carlisle Railway, near Kendal, which is
likely to terminate in fatal consequences, and by which
valuable property has been destroyed. It appears that
on the above day a party of sab-contractors and other
persons engaged on the line decided on having a plea-
sure trip to Ship, a distance of about sixteen miles, to
celebrate the completion of the railway, so far as the
practicability of travelling was concerned, and for that
purpose procured two engines belonging to the company
(we understand entirely without their consent), and
started at an early hour in the day. On returning, one
of the engines preceded the other for a considerable dis-
tance, and, therefore, arrived at its destination sooner,
and was incautiously left standing on the rails in the
direct path of the one which was behind ; and the fearful
consequence was that a collision ensued, which dashed
the former engine to atoms, and dreadfully injured those
who were being conveyed on the latter, they being
thrown off it by the force of the shock in all directions.
it,
Gawth, a smith, who was on was dashed with tre-
mendous force into the furnace of the engine, and dread-
fully scorched about the upper parts of his body and
otherwise injured so much that two out of the three sur-
geons who attended him stated that they had no hope
whatever of his recovery. Another person had his thigh
lacerated, and others were injured to a great extent. The
engineer has absconded.

The LORD MAYOR—I shall fine you five shillings for
being drunk and disorderly, or you must go to prison
for seven days.
The money was paid.

THE SMALL DEBTS ACT.
(From the Law Times.)
Curiosity is on the rack to learn what is being done
or contemplated towards setting in motion the machi-
nery of this measure, or we should rather say towards
its construction, for the statute does little more than
prescribe an outline; all the practical details are to be
supplied by the Privy Council, the Lord Chancellor, or
the Judges.
' The country is impatient for the consummation of a
desire so ardently pursued, and from which such impos-
sible benefits are contemplated, and the lawyers will not
be:displeased to have the measure of their good or evil
ascertained. Besides its suspended animation operates
most inconveniently just now. Clients are every where
holding back their claims, waiting the advent of the
cheap writs. The next term will exhibit a vast diminu-
tion in the number of writs, and the contraction of many
an agency office. We understand that to Mr. Espi-
nasse, well known in the profession by his work on Nisi
Prius, has been committed the task of preparing a draft
of the forms of procedure, to be afterwards considered,
revised, and approved by the judges. Abler hands
could Rot have been employed upon this important duty.
But to him and the judges the work will be dis-
tasteful. To frame any forms of procedure that shall fit
the schedule of fees, will lash to the utmost the ingenuity
of the framer. He can scarcely hope to give satisfaction.
He will be laughed at by the lawyers for the brevity,
or be abused by the public for his length. Mr. Espi-
nasse's reply must be, what sort of law do you expect
for fifteen shillings ?
We hear the Lord Chancellor has resolved that the
duties of the judges (who will number about 100), shall
be onerous that of necessity they must abandon private
practice. In all, save the very large towns, they will
lead peripatetic lives—a perpetual circuit.
To carry out the "cheap" principle that has inspired
the entire statute, the judges (who barris-
ters be bars-
ters of seven rears' standing), it is said, are not to be
paid for the first two or three years by salary, but by
fees. The object of this is to apportion pay to work.
It is supposed that the amount of fees will indicate nearly
the quantity of labour, and that the salaries may then
be fixed at the average of the annual fees.
In the choice of judges, we understand, the Chancel-
lor considers himself by no means bound to appoint
existing judges of local courts, save where the statute
has expressly required it. He will fearlessly remove all
incompetent persons. And his single-mindedness is
such, that the most perfect assuraace may be entertained
that in the selection of judges he will be guided by no
other influence than a sense of public duty. Lord Cot-
tenham is, by universal admission, not only one of the
ablest judges, but one of the most inflexibly upright men
that ever sat upon the woolsack.

SCHOOL FOE THE INDIGENT BLlND.—Yesterday a
special general court of this charity was held at the Lon-
don Tavern, for the election of three male and three
female pupils. The male candidates were thirty in num-
ber, and the female sixteen. T. W. Miller, Esq., pre-
sided at the election. It appeared from the report that
there were seventy-two male and seventy-six female in-
mates of the establishment, and that in addition to re-
ligious instruction and various trades, the pupils are
now regularly taught to read the Bible by means of
of copies 3 Bporoi t

ENLARGEMENT OP TIM ROYAL POLTTVCHNIC IN-
STITUTION.—Yesterday a very numerously-attended
meeting of proprietors of the Royal Polytechnic Insti-
tution, was held in the Board-room, W. M. Nurse, Esq.,
presiding, to determine upon the expediency of perma-
nently enlarging and otherwise improving this popular
temple of science. After a good deal of discussion
among the proprietary, as to the best mode of affording
additional accommodation to the daily increasing num-
ber of visitors, it was proposed, seconded, and unani-
mously carried, that power be given to the directors to
enter upon arrangements for the construction of a com-
modious theatre attached to the institution, the cost of
such building, including the uncovered seats, but exclu-
sive of the fixtures, fittings, and paintings, to be de-
frayed by means of an annual rent from the institution.
The directors were further authorised to negotiate for
the purchase of an adjoining site, and to make definite
arrangements with approved contractors for carrying
out selected architectural plans of the proposed theatre.
From the statements made by the chairman and other
gentlemen, it appears that the new building will cover
an area equal to that which the gallery of the institu-
tion extends over, namely, 120 feet in length and 45 feet
in width.

THE WORtS AT THE NELSON COLUMN.—It is
stated that the long procrastinated completion of the
works on the Nelson Column in Trafalgar square will
very soon be finally brought to a close. Workmen have
been actively employed on the work during the last
few days.

FUNERAL or A TEETOTALLER.—On Sunday last
the remains of Richard Turner, originator of the name
teetotaller as applied to abstainers from intoxicating
drink, whose death we noticed in our last week's paper,
were interred in St. Peter's Churchyard, ground having
been purchased for that purpose through the exertions
of a few zealous friends of the temperance cause. A
very large number of teetotallers attended the funeral,
and in addition to those residing in Preston, there were
several from Wigan, Hindley, Bolton, Blackburn, Burn-
ley, Padiham, Lancaster, &c. The funeral procession
was preceded by the Rechabite band; after which came
the teetotallers, two abreast, headed by Messrs. Swindle-
hurst, Howarth, Simpson, Bradley, Deardeti, and other
members of long standing. Next came the corpse,
in a hearse and pair, then the relatives of the de-
ceased, followed by the singers and Sunday school
children connected with the Primitive Methodists, of
which society he was formerly a member. Alto-
gether the number who attended the funeral amounted
to about four hundred. The streets through which
the procession passed were thronged with spectators.
The deceased had been upwards of fourteen years a
member of the Temperance Society, having signed the
pledge at the request of Mr. Swindlehurst and Mr.
Dearden, in St. Peter's School, in October, 1832, while
in a state of intoxication. It may not be generally
known how the term "teetotallers" became first adopted
by the members of the Total Abstinence Society, but
we may inform our readers that Dickey (that being the
name by which Mr. Turner was familiarly called), in
one of his speeches, which were generally characterised
by an equal mixture of wit and blunders, being at a loss
for a word which would convey to the audience that he
was an out-and-out total abstinence man, said, " I have
signed the tee,tee-total pledge." This speech was do
livered in the Cockpit, at the latter end of the year
1833. The word being short and expressive, was im-
mediately adopted by the abstainers of Lancashire, and
ultimately throughout England ; nay, we may say
throughout the world, for both in America and India
the term is adopted by those who are pledged to absttain
