FILLS, prepared by Thomas Allen, late of Mile-end-road,
liember of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and Licentiate
of the Apothecaries' Company, and a pupil of the late eccentric and

THAMES.

Mr. Pelham, a solicitor, accompanied by Mr. Brown,
the Registrar of Seamen, who holds his appointment
from the Lords of the Admiralty, applied to Mr. Batten-
tine for summonses against two persons, named Charles
Bolder and Robert Uride, of No. 3, Albert-street, Shad-
well, for an infringement of the Merchant Seamen's Act,
the Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 11G, which was passed to
protect seamen from the extortions and frauds of crimps.
It appeared that Charles Bolder, who was a licensed
man, met two seamen, and asked if they wanted a ship.
They replied in the affirmative, and he put them on
board the Barossa, bound for Bombay. The articles
were signed by them at Bolder's house, in the presence
of his clerk, Uride. Two-and-sixpence was demanded
and paid by them to Uride. The Bth clause of the Act
prohibited any person from receiving remuneration for
the hiring of seamen from any one but "the master of a
ship ; and the 6th clause made it unlawful for any
licensed agent to employ an unlicensed person to engage
er provide sailors. The prisoners had, therefore, been
guilty of a double offence.
Mr. BALLANTINE then asked if the seamen were
British registered seamen, for otherwise the Act would
not apply to them. Upon being informed that they
were, he immediately granttd the summonses.

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.

The Sun was the first paper which brought the " Queen's
Speech," &c., to this borough, a number of copies having
been dispatched " express" by the spirited proprietor of that
journal, Mr. Murdo Young; and when we state that it con-
tained upwards of nine columns of Parliamentary proceed-
ings, our readers will form some idea of the immense exertion
that must have been made. On all occasions we find The
Sun foremost in conveying early intelligence to the pro-
vinces, and the liberality evinced in the management of this
paper is, we are happy to say, duly acknowletged by the
very extensive circulation it enjoys.—Devonport Independent.
We beg leave to return our best thanks to the Messrs.
Johnston and Co., Eden-quay, Dublin, for their kindness in
forwarding to U 3 the LondohEvening Papers of Thursday,
with a fourth edition of The Sun, containing a report of the

RAILWAY BILLS.

Several petitions were presented by Hon. Members in
favour of the North Kent and other railway Bills.
NOTICES OF MOTION.

Lord DUNCAN gave notice of his intention, on th e
20th of February, to move for a Committee of the whole
House, with a view to the repeal of the window taxes.
Dr. BOWRING ga% e notice of his intention on a
future day, to move for certain returns, showing the
effect of commercial restrictions on the exports and im-
ports of the Isle of Man.
Mr. HUTT gave notice of his intention to move, on a
certain day, a resolution respecting the Excise Laws.
Mr. BROTHERTON moved for a return of the
number and names of the persons summoned for offences
against the Factory Acts, between the Ist day of January
1845 and the Ist day of January 1846; specifyiug the
date of the conviction or hearing, the place of hearing;
by whom each conviction was made; the offence in each
case; and the manner in which the penalties and costs
were appropriated ; also, a summary of the to•al
number of informations and convictions, and the amount
of penalties and costs.
Mr.WODEHOUSE moved for a return, in continuation
of previous returns, showing' the highest and lowest
prices of corn in this country for a period of several years
past, and comparing them with the prices of corn in
every other county in Europe. The Hun. Gentleman
said this return would extend the aggregate returns over
a period of 150 years.

Dint ON FIRE INSURANCES.
Colonel SIBTHORP said he regretted very much that
the returns for which had moved during the lost session,
respecting the amount of duties received by Govern-
ment on fire insurances, had not been presen'ed to the
.House.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to state that he
would renew the motion on that subject during the pre-
sent session.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURrti,
MA.NCITESTNR, JAN. O.—The suspense in Which the
public mind is kept, respecting the Ministerial measures,
has very much impeded business since our last. Prices,
however, are firm, both for goods and yarn; in the latter
some business has been done for India and China; but
the recent commercial accounts froni those countries are
not considered very encouraging. The tone of the
market to-day, in consequence of the proceedings in
Parliament, was decidedly more favourable.-=-Kanckester
Guardian.

BRADFORD, JAN. 22.—Wool—The demand for comb-
ing wool still continues languid, and *he consumers bare
of stock ; yet the prices sought act as a barrier to an
animated business. Nods and Brokes are in good re-
quest, and last week's prices fully maintained.
Yarn—We regret that we cannot learn of the position
of the spinners being improved, and while the present
low prices continue, no increase in the quantity will be
made; and we are sorry to add that the unemployed,
arising from the large quantity of idle machinery, is
now very considerable, and great distress prevails.
Piece.—There has, both to-day and dur;ng the week,
been a full average business done, et prices similar to
some weeks past.—Bradford Observ(r.
NOTTINGHAM, JAN. have satisfactory ground
for the expectation of a good spring trade. Coarse
yarns are somewhat higher, middle and fine numbers
maintain their price, and the market is not over stocked
in any department.—Nottinghant,Merery. -
LEICESTER, JAN. 22. We have had another flat NI eek
in the warehouses, buyers_ still holding off till the inten-
tions of the Cabinet are, known. There is no alteration
• worthy of note in either the yarn or wool markets.—

THE COUNTIES! THE COUNTIES

RATLWAY HERALD, Jan. 1846,

Ths chief fcatu-e of the " Post-office Directory " to men of business
is, that they cannot do without it—it is indispensable, thumbed over,
referred to, day by day, and week by week—a counting-house, in
these times of letter-sending, could do almost as well without an Ink-
stand as without a "Directory." We have made a great many trials
in different parts of the work, exercising a careful scrutiny, and in no
instance has it suffered under the test.

RAILWAY EXPRESS, Jan. 1846.

It is scarcely possible for any work to be more correct than this,
or more carefully compiled in all its laborious detail. It would he
difficult to find a more comprehensive or more useful work than this
admirably arranged exhibition of this vast city. The typographical
execution is as complete as becomes the well-deserved popularity of
the volume. It is needless to say more than that tke book is known
and consulted by every man of business in London.

RISCA COLLIERY EXPLOSION.
(From the lllonmoli4hslii7 e Merlin.)
FURTHER. PARTICULARS.

Since our last account of the appalling occurrence, the
most commendable exertions, day and night, alma*
without intermission, were continued, for the purpose
of removing from the fatal pit, the seven remaining vic-
tims, who were known to be still in the workings. In
the course of Friday the bodies of Isaac Bryant, George
Barfield, and George Barfield, jun., were found, and the
spectacle they presented was piteous and affecting in
the extreme. The father, actuated by the feelings of
paternal affection, strong even in the agonies of death,
had firmly clasped his son in his arms, in which posi-
tion they were found. They had worked in different
stalls, and at the first alarm of the direful explosion the
poor ;lad ran to his father, who, alas, could afford him
no succour ; and overcome by the noxious gas, they
sunk in death together. "If he must die my life is
wrapt in his I.'"fhe deplorable fate of this family,
whose pious life and blameless conduct had gained them
much respect, is one of the most melanchol) features of
this dreadful calamity. The remains of Isaac Bryant
were placed in a coffin, and laid between those which
contained the bodies of his two sons—three dead in one
cottage I
The coroner, accompanied by the jury, that had been
empannelled on the previous day, met again on Satur-
day, to view the bodies found up to that period. The
spectacle was quite revolting. Decomposition had com-
menced its defacing ravages, whilst the wretched rela-
tives, in the anguish of almost broken hearts, were ut-
tt ring lamentatiuns.
On Saturday night, during the solitary hours of which,
distressing cries were occasionally heard, wildly and
fearfully, on the winds, the corpses of Isaac Lovel, James
Gullock, and James Lane, were brought up, but all
fl'orts to find that of George Curtis failed, till Monday
4.,vning, when this, the last of the thirty-five sufferers,
was brought to the top of the shaft, placed in a shell,
and conveyed to the church, in order to be viewed by
the coroner and jury, which duty took place on Tues-
day, and the inquest was then adjourned to the 4th of
February next, The churchyard, prepared for the in-
terment of the numerous dead, presented an appearance
somewhat resembling a ploughed field, so extensively
lay the upturned sods; and on Saturday, the bodies of
thirteen victims of the destroying blast were laid in their
graves— one was borne to rest in his native town, New-
brdge. The many-coffined grave yard was sad to behold.
We learn, from authority on which we place entire re-
liaace, that within the. last three months, pending an im-
pol taut business arrangement, the colliery in which so
dreadful a loss of human life has just taken place, was
carefully inspected by an eminent surveyor, and pro-
nounced by him to be proFerly and safely ventilated.

MIN BULL, January 10, 1846.

We have so often had to bear stir testimony to the extraordinary
merits of this most laborious compilation, its fulness and accuracy
of information, and its consequent value to every one who °'lives,
and moves, and has his being" in London, that all we need now do
is to state that, excellent as were the preceding volumes, this one
has received various improvements, which add largely to that pre-
vious excellency. It is a work of immense care and labour, and of
corresponding utility.

BRITANNIA, December 27, 1845.

This wonderful annual continues to keep pace with the times,
fast as they move. It now numbers upwards of 2,000 closely-
printed pages, this immense mass of matter being so judiciously
classified and arranged that any item of it can be picked out with-
out the loss of a minute expended in the search. From the con-
nexion of the Proprietor with the Post-office, he is enabled to
collect his information from the most authentic sources, and (a great
advantage) to combine it simultaneously. Some objection has been
made to the letter-carriers being employed for this service ; but,
independent of all other considerations, it is certain that the Post-
effice must be greatly advantaged by the publication, both from
letters being directed more accurately, with this book as a guide,
and from its always being at hand ready for reference in cases of
doubt. The volume has all the merits of its predecessors ; displays,
like them, the utmost care in every department ; and as a work of
reference for the merchant, trader, or any person engaged in busi-
ness in London, leaves nothing to be desired. It is one of the most
remarkable examples of great industry, intelligence, and capital
being successfully employed in the production of a work for facili-
tating the operations of business and extending trading intercourse,
that the age, fertile as it is in ingenious inventions, affords. Of its
kind, it is as near perfection as it seems possible for any work to be
brought.

The chief feattn-e of the " Post-office Directory " to men of business
Is, that they cannot do without it—it is indispensable, thumbed over,
referred to, day by day, and week by week—a counting-house, in
these times of letter-sending, could do almost as well without an Ink-
stand as without a " Directory." We have made a great many trials
In different parts of the work, exercising a careful scrutiny, and in no
instance has it suffered under the test.
RAILWAY EXPRESS, Jan. 1848.

It is scarcely possible for any work to be snore correct than this,
or more carefully compiled in all its laborious detail. It would be
difficult to find a more comprehensive or more useful work than this
admirably arranged exhibition of this vast city. The typographical
execution is as complete as becomes tke well-deserved popularity of
the volume. It is needless to say more than that tke book is known
and consulted by every man of business in London.

NEW ZEALAND.

The West of England Conservatzve of Wednesday contains
the following extract of a letter from her Majesty's ship
North Star, 26, Captain Sir J. E. Home, Bart., dated from
the river "Kni Kni, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, Oct. 6,
1545

"We have not lifted our anchor for ten weeks. Thank
goodness we are still as happy and comfortable as a ship
can possibly be made, and likely to remain so. We are on
the eve of a bad peace; the Governor is negotiating with
the disaffected just at a moment that strong reinforcements
have arrived, and now that we are in a position to give them
a sound drubbing our hands are tied behind our backs. It
puzzles me how they will convince the people of England
that such a humiliating alternative was wise. I don't know
who takes the merit of planning the terms, but here they
are. I have them privately; they are not yet promulgated.

WESTMINSTER.

INHUMAN CONDUCT OF A MOTHER.—Rosetta Thomas, a
dissipated, wretched-looking creature, who has been in cus-
tody upwards of ten days, charged with horrible cruelty to
her infant, was brought np before the magistrate.
It may be necessary to state, that the child having died
since the prisoner's apprehension, the coroner has held an
inquest up'n the body, and that a verdict of " Died from
natural causes," has been returned.

The facts of the case are briefly these :—The prisoner was
at Watson's, the Angel, in Great Chapel-street, Westmin-
ster, on Monday evening week, in a state of intoxication,
and going to fight with another woman, threw her child
down, with violence, upon the floor. On its being picked
up by another female, the inhuman mother seized it from
her arms, and lifting it to her mouth, bit it in the leg;
the wound bled very much, and prisoner's mouth and her
shawl were covered with the poor infant's blood. The
child was taken to the workhouse, where, although every
care and attention was paid to ite it expired on Saturday
morning.

The bi agistrate dealt with the wretched woman for an
assault, and inflicted the highest penalty he was allowed
to impose—a fine of 51., and, in default, she would be com-
mitted for two months to hard labour.

She was sent to prison.
GREENWICH.

Louisa Hillier, a young woman of very genteel appear-
ance, was brought before Mr. Jeremy, charged with break-
ing open a cash box, and stealing therefrom a ten-pound
Bank of England note, and about tour pounds in silver, the
property of John Baker, the landlord of the Castle Inn,
Brockley, Lewisham.

Mr. "taker deposed that the prisoner had been stopping at
his house until a suitable situation could be procured for her.
This he had permitted, at the particular request of the pri-
soner's father, whom he had known for many years. Wit-
n !ss missed the contents of the cash-box on the 25th of
February. Had seen it safe the preceding day in his bed-
chamber. It was fastened with a padlock. The prisoner
left the house suddenly on the day the property was missing,
without notice, or expressing the least intention of so doing.
Upon the evidence adduced the prisoner was then fully
committed for trial.
