under the dwellings of the poor, by which means fever, /
dysentery, scrofula, and consumption were never absent.
—(Hear, hear.) In summer the dead smell from the i
vaults was easily perceptible in many of the best churches.
People often returned home from them, affiteL d with
headaches, vomiting, and fainting fits. The house of
God was thus filled with poisonous exhalations. It was
in fact a charnal house, and the guardian of the sanc-
tuary was made by the present abominable system to have
an interest in its pollution. There was not accommodation
or cubical space for one-fifth of the dead, without re-
ference to the most disgusting stratagems to get rid of
the excess. Within the memory of the present genera-
tion, upwards of a million of dead bodies must have been
interred in London. In some small churchyards there
were upwards of 1,200 to the acre. Here Dr. Lynch
referred to some of the statements of Mr. Walker and
Mr. Kelsey, and to the notorious practices of consuming
the corpses with fire to get rid of the excess, and con-
cluded by calling upon the Court to do itself honour by
leaving no effort untried to get rid of an evil so tre-
mendous.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. WIRE hoped the Court would not be influenced
by the gross exaggerations which they had just heard.
He wished to know, after all, where the poor were to be
buried.—(Hear, hear.) It was well to cry out about the
burial-places of the opulent, but where was the body of
the indigent man to be taken to but to the churchyard
of his own parish ? The Court ought to consider the
rights and interests, and privileges of the poor. If the
Corporation were determined to aid the poor, let them
purchase ground and give it gratuitously for the burial
of those who could not afford to go to a cemetery.
Mr. LAWRENCE said Mr. Wire must surely know that
the parishes must find burial-places for the poor.
Mr. BLAKE was strongly in favour of the motion, and
pointed to the example of the cities of the days of old,
within the walls of which the dead were never per-
mitted to be detained.
The motion to petition Parliament was then carried
by acclamation.
Mr. ANDERTON then proposed and carried a motion
for a petition to Parliament to pass an Act to prevent
nuisances arising from the smoke of steam-engines and
in buildings in and near London and Westminster.

gineers are indefatigable, using their best efforts for
the speedy and effectual completion of the works and
final opening.
IMPROVEMENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WEST-
ERN.-Of all improvements now in progress on metro
politan lines, the most extensive are at Euston-square.
About sixty or seventy houses that formed the east side
of Whittlebury and Cardington-streets have disap-
peared; also those in Birchmere-street, and two or three
small thoroughfares that lead to it. They hare been
cleared away, and labourers are actively engaged in ex-
cavating the area some fifteen or sixteen feet below the
level of the main roadway, so as to carry out the in-
ter.ded alterations. Spacious warehouses, carriage
stores, and repairing buildings are springing up. The
principal entrance to the station in Drummond-street
will undergo alteration. In a line with it, however,
at the south-west corner of Whittlebury-street, a
banking or receiving-house is to be erected, and ad-
jacent to this, at the back, running the whole length
of the street, about eight hundred feet, will be formed
a station, so as to correspond with the one
on the opposite side, both verging into the per-
manent line. At the end of this edifice nearest Drum-
mond-street a commodious station, or pavilion, will be
built for the express accommodation, it is said, of her
Majesty and the Royal Family, when travelling on the
line. It will be distinct from the other portion of the
terminus, and will be approached by a suitable entrance.
The building will be of the Doric order, and its interior
will afford an elegant suite of waiting-rooms. Further
up the same side of the above street, another entrance to
the terminus will be formed, leading to a range of stores
for parcels (a new department), and the auditor's
office. They will be three stories in height, and in
unison with the general style of architecture of the other
parts. To the left of the extreme end of this second
station, extending over the left of Cardington-street,
nearly to the Hampstead-road, and beneath where Birch-
mere-street stood, immense buildings are in course
of erection. One, the carriage-repairing department,
is upwards of three hundred feet in length, and
120 feet in width, the roof supported by 50 iron co-
lumns. There is also a spacious smith factory, with an
octagon peculiarly built shaft 80 feet in height to carry
off the flues of nine forges. The line of rails leading
from the station to what is termed the usual permanent
way are being increased to three times their present
number, so as to run into the duplicate station and meet
the great increase of traffic. This addition has been,
effected by removing the bridge which carried Birch-
mere-street over the line into Seymour-street, and about
250 feet of the bricked embankment or retaining walls
on each side. The large workshop on the Seymour-
street side of the station is to be pulled down, to make
way for these improvements. The open quadrangle in
front of the present station will be considerably enlarged,
and waiting-rooms, booking-offices, and a public vesti-
bule will be formed in a building of Grecian architecture,
to be erected in the centre facing the grand portico, and
communicating with the station on either side. These
works will necessarily occupy a considerable period.

WINDSOR, SLOUGH, AND STAINES ATMO-
SPHERIC.—PROPOSED AMALGAMATION
WITH THE SOUTH-WESTERN.
WINDSOU, TIIESDA.T.—A meeting of the scripholders
in the late Windsor, &c. Atmospheric, took place this
day in the Town-hall. Mr. J. T. Bedborough presided,
and there were present Messrs. Ridgway, Wreford,
Cleave, Oxley, Corfield, C. Norris, Pearl, Minton,
Ewens, Clarke, Fowler, Foster, J. and G. Bedborough,

Gray, Sm.
The following report was read to the meeting:—" The
provisional committee appointed at a public meeting of
the scripholders, held pursuant to adjournment, at the
Guildhall, Windsor, on the 2d instant, have to report the
following result of their negotiations with the directors
of the South-Western Railway Company and the Staines
and Richmond, namely :—The completion of the arrange-
ment for the amalgamation of the Windsor and Staines,
and the Staines and Richmond Companies. The basis of
an agreement for a new company, to be called the South-
Western, Staines, Windsor, and Farnborough Railway,
or some name comprising Staines and Windsor, having
for its object the most direct communication practicable
from Windsor, Staines, Hounslow, &c., to the London,
Richmond, and Farnham portions of the South-Western
Railway. Mr. Locke to be the engineer, and to fix the
amount of capital (supposed at present to be near one
million). The Windsor and Staines, and the Staines and
Richmond amalgamated company to subscribe not ex-
ceeding 350,0001 (their original capital), the remainder
to be provided for by the South-Western Company.
The shares to be 201.; deposit 21. 2s. The scrip of the
Windsor and Staines Company, upon which a deposit of
21. 2s. per share has been paid, to be exchanged, with
the balance remaining of such, for scrip in the new
company. The past expenses of the amalgamated com-
panies to be charged to the new company. The directors
to represent as near as possible the capital subscribed,
namely, Windsor three, Staines four, South-Western
eight. Four per cent. interest to be allowed on all paid-
up calls from the passing of the Act to the completion
of the lines. The South-Western to guarantee a rental
of four and a half per cent. on the gross outlay from the
completion of the line, and one-half the profits, and to
have the option to purchase the undertaking, by the
transfer of 151. fully paid-up capital in the new company.
It is also arranged that the railway approach to, and the
terminus at Windsor, shall be made in the locality most
approved of by her Majest}'s Commissioners of Woods
-I,nd Forests and by the Provost and Fellows of Eton
College, and may be used as a common approach and
terminus by any other railway company under proper

stipulations."
The committee, in concluding their report, drew a
comparison between the offers which had been respec-
tively made by the directors of the South-Western and
great Western Companies in favour of the terms pro-

•
posed by the former:
The CBAIRMiN then read an amended report from
the committee, which detailed at considerable length
the proceedings which had taken place at the several
!meetings which had been held previously and subse-
quently to the dissolution of the Atmospheric Company.
rhat report thus concluded:—" The committee, in al-
luding to the proceedings of others, are actuated solely
by the necessity there exists for some decisive and
united course being at once taken. The committee

INTERMENT OF THE DEAD WITHLg THE

-
CITY OF LONDON, &c.
Mr. ANDERTON rose to move that the Court d(
petition both Mines of Parliament to pass an Act to
prohibit the interment of the dead in churches and
church-yards within the City of London, and other
large cities au,i towns, and prevent the violation of
graves. Eight months had passed away sine., he had
put the notice of motion to which he had callA the at-
tention of the Court upon the paper. Since that t'rne
the,subject had undergone discussion so extensively in
the newspaper press, and through other sources of public
intelligence, that it became unnecessary for him to enter
with any degree of minuteness or particularity into its
merits. He expected 9, nnaniraous concurrence on his
motion. If he required any lit!e additional testimony in
favour of it, that testimony ,vas to be found in the ma-
gisterial extlminations which had just taken place. (Here
Mr. Andcrtou called the attention of the Court to the

;he Windsor scripheltiers shall be entitled to subscribe,
that being the amount of the capital of the late com-
pany; and for this 150,0001. they will be entitled to ap-
point three directors, being at the rate of one director
for every 50,0001. It follows, that if a large portion of
the scrip of the late company is abstracted from the
company connected with the South-Western, and car-
ried to the Great Western project, that a corresponding
reduction must be made in the number of directors; and
an equally correepondmg diminution of the credit and
importance of the scripholders, and the interest felt in
the undertaking, bill be the result.
The CHAIRMAN stated, in reply to questions put to
him by two or three scripholdurs., that the number of
shares held by directors in the late company who sup-
ported the plan proposed by the Great Western Com-
pany was 750; that three directors had given in their
adhesion to the South-Western arrangement; and that
four directors had, up to the present time, remained
neutral. The Chairman further stated that the terms
which had been originally offered by the Great Western
had been considerably modified since a negotiation had
been opened with the directors of the South-Western
Company. lie had no means of knowing how many
shareholders had agreed to enter into the South-Western
arrangements; but he thought he might say the holders
of about one third of the shares had consented.
Mr. MINTON, one of the provisional committee, stated
that ho was strongly in favour of accepting the terms
offered by the South-Western Company, considering it
would he an act of madness to go on with the project if
the Government or the Crown were opposed to them.
Even if the authorities of Eton College were opposed to
them, they ought, in his opinion, to hesitate, and be ex-
tremely cautious, before proceeding further.
Mr. BEDBOROUGH said the South-Western Railway,
Company were determined to endeavour, under any cir-
cumstances, to get a line into Windsor, whether the
holders of the scrip in the late Atmospheric Company
joined them or not.
After a very lengthened discussion, it was moved by
Mr. PEARL, seconded by Mr. J. CLEAVE, and carried,
" That the report be approved, and that the following
be appointed members of the committee of manage-
ment for the Windsor district of the new conapany:—
Nlessrs. J. J. Bedburough, Samuel Minton, and Caleb
Norris."
Mr. MINTON again begged to observe that he thought
it would be the height of madness to go on if they were
to be opposed 'oy the Court and the College of Eton.

rev:Ating scene in the Friday-street burial•ground.) Ile
asked whether those who surrounded him could quietly
'listen to the unexaggerated descriptions of the horrors
which :accumulated at their very doors ?--([Tear, hear.)
Could they lock patiently at the violation of graves, st
the exposure of the partially decomposed bodies of their
fellow-creatures on the dunghill? Could they read the
statements made by the sanatory Commissioners, who
showed that by burying. the dead amongst us we were
scattering amongst the living the seeds of pesti!ence
and death—could they read these statements and remain
inactive as the corporation cf the great City in which
such scenes were daily enacted ?—(leer, hear.) Ile
felt assured that he calculated rightly in c4lculating
iron their unanimity. In 1';26 the practice of burying

the dead a ith;n the City was petitioned against by a
clergyman, who represented it es the remains of one of
the grosiest superstitions that Ever visited mankind,
and condemned it with as much indignation as if it had
attained its present enormous meturiv. In 1346 the
superstition existed to ba destroyed he hoped by the
example of London operating upon all other places of
dense pcpulation.—(C hi ers.)
Mr. NORRIS seconded the motion.
Mr. T.OTT did not object to the principle, but he wished
for some qualification. There were certain feelings to
be resrected, particularly the feelings which operated
upon tha members of families as to lying in the same
graves.—(Hear, hear.) lie believed that a good deal oi
the opecedzion to churchyard burials arose from the
monopoly of cemeteries.—(Laughter, and cries of " Hear,
hear.") He would only ask the Court to look at whet
was going on as to the monopoly of railways.—(Hear.)
Mr. W. S. HALE said that whenever there was a
crowded churchyard ili-health might he expected. Ile
witnessed the effect of these burials in the very neigh-
bourhood in which they were that moment speaking.
In Coleman-street churchyard, which was paved, the
effluvia from the dead bodies escaped through holes
made in the tomb-stones, and made the air pestilential.
—(clear, hear.) How such an abomination could be
allowed to exist so long was a thing he could not at all
comprehend.
Dr. Leearcu supported the motion with pleasure,
The,/ were indebted to Mr. Anderton for his able and
beet& though brief exposition of the evils referred to.
Upwards of 3,000 years ago Abraham ordered the dead
to be taken out of his sight upwards of 2,000 years ago
the Roman Commonwealth did what they were about to
do—passed laws against burying in cities. " In urbe ne
sepelito " was an ordinance rigidly enforced,—(Hear,
hear.) The horrible effects of allowing the dead to be
deposited in the midst of the living, had been fully esta-
blished by the labours and writings of Mr. Walker. Mr.
Chadwick, too, in his invaluable work, had accumulated
and epitomised a mass of evidence of such a revolting
nature, that the wonder was that so frightful a practice
could have been so long tolerated.—(Hear, hear.) It
was well known that 12-13ths of the dead human body
dissipated in the air we breathed, and that disease was
daily resulting from exposure to the foul and pestilential
exhalation of the grave-yards. The festering putrid
matter was allowed unrestricted vent and diffusion every
time a grave was opened. It impregnated the atmos-
phere all around. In some cases 45 had been opened in
a day in one churchyard. The bodies were piled carcase
upon carcase until they had reached a depth of 10, 20,
and 30 feet, the topmost body being only a few inches
from the surface.—(Hear, hear.) St. Andrew's Church
was 25 feet above the level. The putrescent accumulation
raised every churchyard in London upon an average 10
feet high. They were all fourfold over-charged.
The number of persons dying annually in London was
upwards of 50,000. Some 4,000 or 5,000 were buried
in the cemeteries, and the remainder in intermural
grounds. The aggregate area of these latter was under
220 acres, and the average annual number of burials
per acre was 203, or about twice the number permitted
in continental states. That average afforded no indica-.
tion of the restriction of the evil. Were the taltrials
equally distributed over the space allotted them, the
consequence would be comparatively little felt, but the
reverse took place. The burial grounds were mostly
situated in the poorest and most crowded parts of the
town. Where there were most of the living there were
most of the dead—where the burial grounds were fruit-
ful and perpetual sources of disease, there the liability to
disease was greatest, while the ability to guard against
it or to provide a remedy was the least.—(Hear, hear.)
There was to be seen the narrow plot of ground reeking
with pestilence, its soil supersaturated with sulphurated
hydrogen and carbonic acid gas, its surface strewed
with bones and moist with matter and exhalations alike
disgusting to the senses and destructive of health,—
(Hear, hear.) That plague spot was hemmed in with
hovels, in which space was economised to the verge of
suffocation, and the narrow streets and cesspools aided

PROSPECTIVE OPENINGS.
The Newcastle and Berwick, between Newcastle and
Morpeth, is announced to be opened in the early part of
the ensuing month. The whole line is expected to be
finished by February next. The bridges over the Tyne
and Tweed, now in course of erection, will occupy two
years at least ere they can be opened. The extension
of
the North Shields line to Tynemouth will be thrown '
open to the public in a few weeks.
The Whitehaven and Harrington Railway is in so for-
ward a state as to promise its opening for public traffic
in the early part of October.
The South Devon will be opened on the atmospheric
system of traction in about three months. The engines
at the Exeter and Countess Weir stations are completed,
and have been tried. The valves arc being fixed to the
tubing, and the connecting pipes for the engines will be
forthwith laid down. Mr. bameda was on the line on
Tuesday last superintending the works in progress.
The Bridlington branch, the property of the Hull and
Selby, extending from Hull to Bridlington by way of
Beverley and Driffield, a distance of thirty-one miles,
is appointed to be publicly opened on Tuesday the 6th of
next month.
The Margate line, a branch of the South-Eastern from
Ramsgate, is on the eve of completion, and will be thrown
open to the public in a few days.
The Hertford branch of the Eastern Counties was
opened yesterday as a double line. General Pasley
certified it last Sunday. The Hertford people arc to
have the benefit of express trains.
The Bedford branch of the London and Birmingham
will be completed the first week in October.
LANCASTER AND CARLISLE.—On the 27th, the direc-
tors caused two trial trips to be made between Carlisle and
Penryth, being a distance of about eighteen miles, but
that portion of the line is not yet open to the
`... ieeted
s public. General Pasley, on Friday last, 111
the line between Lancaster and Kenkl, who
cer-
tified that it was fit for public
'.:,se as a single line.
As might naturally be `.';‘,pposed, the etcasion gave
rise to considerabt interest and bustle both at Lon-
caster and KeliCial. About ten o'clock on Monday fore-
noon IRF.te tt powerful engine, with a long train of car-
ri:.ges attached to it, which were filled up by a number
of the directors, shareholders, and ladies and gentlemen
of Lancaster and the surrounding neighbourhood,
started from the Lancaster station. The train went off
at an easy speed, which was gradually increased, and
arrived at Kendal about twelve o'clock, amid the cheers
of a large concourse of people who had assembled at the
spot to witness the arrival of the train. Soon afterwards
a lunch was spread out at the Whitehall building, to
which upwards of 100 sat down. The train again re-
turned to Lancaster, where it arrived about four o'clock,
having been joined by Mr. E. W. Hasell, the chairman
of the board of directors, and other directors. The
party dined together at Lancaster, Mr. Hasell in the
chair. According to the statement of the chairman,
made at the last half -yearly meeting, held at Penrith,
the whole of the line will be opened to the public in the
course of next month. Looking at the vast deal of work
which remains to be done on certain parts of the
line, it is almost impossible that this will be the ease at
029 time mentioned. Lis:Meyer, the exertions a the en-

affairs in that locality into immediate consideration.
Parliament, he said, should assemble in three or four
weeks, and endeavour to avert the painful evils with
which the people were threatened.
Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL announced the resignation of
Dr. Cann, of Kilkenny. It was with the sincerest sorrow
that they accepted his resignation. He hoped that at a
future period Dr. Cann would adopt the principle which
the Bishops and Archbishops have adopted, he meant
the glorious moral force principle.
Captain BRODRICK seconded the motion, which passed.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL said that there were others who
wished their names to be removed from the books; he
would move that Mr. Ray be desired to comply with

have proved about equal to the demand; and the value
of the article has remained almost stationary.
The market has been poorly supplied with English
and Scotch oats. A few thousand quarters have arrived
from Ireland, but, inclusive of 7,110 quarters from
abroad, the total supply up to this (Saturday) evening
has amounted to only 10,963 quarters. As is usually
the case when the market is bare, the principal dealers
have contented themselves with buying just sufficient to
satisfy their pressing wants. This they have succeeded
in doing without much difficulty at Monday's quota-
tations; but unless supplies speedily come to hand, the
absolute scarcity of good oats will, we think, cause their
value to rise.
The consumptive demand for beans has, as yet,
hardly commenced ; and as prices are regarded as some-
what high for speculation, the business done in the are
tide has not been extensive. Floating cargoes of
Egyptian beans might have been placed at 335. ; sellers
having, however, been unwilling to accept that price, few
parcels have changed hands. No English peas have come
forward since Monday, and prices must, therefore, be
quoted nominally, as before.
Indian corn has been held very high, which has in-
terfered with its disposal ; for yellow, 40s. to 435., and
for fine white, 435. to 455. per quarter, has been asked.
On Thursday the duty fell to 3s. per quarter on
barley, rye, beans, and peas.
FOREIGN.
In proportion as the prospects of Great Britain re-
quiring supplies of foreign grain increases, so do prices
advance on the Continent ; and it is now certain that to
obtain the quantity we are likely to want, it will be ne-
cessary to pay very high rates.
Letters from Dantzic of the 12th instant, informs us
that the finer qualities of wheat had become scarce there,
the old stocks having been greatly reduced, and
only trifling supplies having come to hand from the
interior. Under these circumstances, holders had
declined selling at former rates, and 48s. 6d. per quar-
ter, free on board, had been paid for high mixed
wheat, the growth of 1842, weighing 631bs. per
bushel ; whilst secondary qualities had sold at equal to
465. 6d. to 475. 6d., and inferior sorts at 435. 6d. to 445. 6d.
per quarter, free on board. The purchase had been
principally on French and Belgian account, very little
having been taken for shipment to England. Freight
to the east coast of Great Britain was then 3s. 6d. to 4s.
per qr. for wheat. Of spring corn none had come to
market ; peas had been inquired for at 355. to 365. per
qr., but there had been no sellers at those rates.
At Hamburgh, on Tuesday, wheat was held at very
high rates, good 621bs. red upland being then held at 535.,
and fine Wahren, of 62ilbs. weight, at 555. free on board.
The extravagant terms asked had prevented much
business being done, the English and French orders
having been limited too low to admit of their execution.
Seale barley, on the spot, had been held at 355. per qr.,
but the sale had been very slow at that rate. Small
beans, to be shipped from the Jande, had been held at
405.t0 415., and fine new upland peas at 465. to 475. per
qr., free on board.
In the Dutch markets prices of wheat had, according
to the most recent accounts, again begun to tend up-
wards • and at Rotterdam, on Tuesday, the article was
in lively request at an advance of Is. per quarter, whilst
rye was quoted 25., and oats is per quarter higher than
on that day se'nnight.
In most of the southern and south-eastern countries of
Europe the upward movement in prices of grain has
been more decided than in the northern markets, and
there is very little prospect of Great Britain receiving
supplies of wheat from the eastward of Gibraltar. We
may, however, calculate on rather large arrivals of In-
dian corn from the Mediterranean, some pretty extensive
purchases of the article having recently been made there
on English account.
Letters from Marseilles, of the 12th September, inform
us that Indian corn had been in brisk demand for ship-
ment, and that equal to 28s. 9d. per quarter, free on
board, had been paid.
At Geuoa similar prices had, it appears, been paid;
and at Triest, on the 9th instant, its value had risen to
255. 7d. per quarter. A couple of vessels had been
chartered at the latter port, to load for Liverpool, at 7s.
per quarter, 10 per cent. and 10 guineas gratuity.-

their wish.—Passed.
Mr. R. D. BROWNE, M P. (who entered the meeting
a short time previous), then came forward, and was
warmly received. He said that he would not detain
them long, but he could not let such an opportunity pass
without fully expressing his full approval of the " O'Con-
nell moral force" policy, and his strong disapproval of
the course pursued by the " physical force" gentlemen.
—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Browne) was always a re-
pealer, and the more he saw of England and Ireland's
relative positions, the stronger he was in his belief in the
absolute necessity there was for a native Parliament.—
(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman next alluded to the
Labour Bill, which he said he hoped would succeed in
establishing the golden rule of agriculture or commercial
labour—" A fair day's pay is worth a fair day's work,"
and " a fair day's work ought to have a fair day's pay."
It was a good measure, and one of the first good measures
ever passed for Ireland. —(Hear, hear.) Now he had
heard of repealers being abused for supporting the Go-
vernment which passed it ; he would ask—why should
they not support a Government which seemed disposed
to do justice—and which was composed of such men as
Mr. Ward, Mr. Gibson, Mr. M'Culloch, and Sir Wil-
liam Somerville ?—(Hear, and loud cheers)—men who
were known to be the ardent friends of liberty, and
whom he believed would yet be found amongst their
ranks as repealers. His principle would be to take their
support, and all the good measures they could get from
the Whigs, and use them as stepping-stones to repeal—
for nothing but repeal would satisfy them.—(Loud
cheers.)
Mr. LAIIGHNAN, T.C., next addressed the meeting,
iu handing in some money, and expressed a hope that
ere long he would see a reconciliation between the " Old
and Young Ireland parties."
Mr. O'CoNNELL said that they would be most happy
to effect a recouciliation, but, as he had often stated
before, it lay with the Young Ireland party to make the
move, as they had swerved from the rules of the Asso-
ciation, and could only be again connected with it, by a
determination to agitate by moral means alone.—
(Cheers.) They had erred, and they were the parties
to repent of their error.—(Cheers.) The Honourable
and Learned Gentleman then alluded to the Labour Rate
Bill, and the Treasury minute regulating it. He said
that that order directed that the wages should, in each
locality, be twopence lower than the wages given by the
landlords in the neighbourhood, and if such wore the
case, the people would be starved, as the wages in the
county of Meath, one of the best counties in the country,
were only ninepence farthing a day, in summer, and
sevenpence-halfpenny a day in winter, which would leave
only fivepence-halfpenny a day to support a labourer
dur.ng the approaching winter. That was the calcula-
tion as regarded the best counties; but in other parts of
the country, in the west and south, there would not be
threepence a-day coming to the labourer uuder the
Treasury regulation—(Loud cries of "Hear, hear")—
therefore the Government should at once consider the
matter, and make provision to give fair remuneration
for a fair day's work.—(Cheers.)
Mr. J. M. M'DONNELL, M.P., then handed in some
money, and made some observations with regard to a
Mr. Lynch—(Hear, hear) —whom ho denominated "the
rotten Papist of Mayo," stating that he was not even fit
to drive one of Croal's coaches. He said that he would
not advise any one to do anything improper or illegal ;
but he knew he would not starve, if food was to be got
at.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, Mr. M'Oonnell proposed
the enrolment of Mr. Peard, of the sth Dragoon Guards,
as a member of the Association: which resolution was
seconded and passed.
After some short pause,
Mr. J. O'CONNELL rose and said he did not know,
but that it might be dangerous for gentlemen in the
army joining, the Association.—(Cries of " Hear.") He
would, therefore, beg to move the suspension of his ad-
mission for the preient, until they should have an op-
portunity of consulting some more legal persons, more
competent to give an opinion than he was.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Joseph Pierce was brought before the Lord Mayor
charged with having broken into the warehouse of Mr.
Colville, of No. 5, Little Friday-street, shawl warehouse-

man.
John Lawson Ure, warehouseman in the service of
Mr. Colville, stated that after having closed and locked
up the premises for the night, after six o'clock on Tues-
day, he tried the door at half-past six, and found that
somebody from the inside resisted. , Upon pushing the,
door again he found the resistance gave way, ard he
saw the prisoner inside. The prisoner had a parcel in
his hand, which he said was for Mr. Nicholson. Wit-
ness not knowing any person of the name referred to
took the parcel, but took hold of the prisoner, who at-
tempted to escape, and gave him into the custody of a
policeman.
The LORD MAYOR.—How long before you saw the
prisoner had you locked the door ? Witness.—l locked
it in the inside about three minutes before I saw him.
Nothing was removed from the warehouse.
Mr. Colville stated that he had never seen the pri-
soner before to his knowledge. He saw the last witness
lock the door as had been stated.
The policeman into whose custody the prisoner had
been given, said that the prisoner stated, upon being ap-
prehended, that he found the warehouse open, and went
in to shut it. He had a brown paper parcel under his
arm, which he said contained a bag. Witness then took
from the prisoner's hand a skeleton key, and immediately
afterwards conveyed him to the station-house, and was
proceeding to search him, when he said it was quite un-
necessary. The prisoner then produced three 1-rge
bags, a screw-driver, a dark lantern, and lucifer matches,
a knife, and a second skeleton key of larger dimensions
than that found upon his person when in the warehouse,
and which would have opened the outside door if it had
been necessary. He ha.clalso in his posiessionaplect`of
linen, so that he had no doubt made every preparation
for taking out a good quantity of property. The smaller
skeleton key unlocked the door within, behind which the
prisoner had been found by the warehouseman.
The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, how do you account for
this ? The prisoner (carelessly) —I thought the ware-
house was empty, and seeing the door open, I went in
and shut it. That's all.
The LORD MAYOR—And what did you want with the
dark lantern and the lucifer matches ? The prisoner—

The comparatively high value which wheat has lately
attained has (as we expected would be the case) induced
farmers to thrash pretty freely, and large supplies have
been brought forward at many of the leading markets in
the agricultural districts. Until within the last few
weeks the quantity returned as sold weekly at the towns
,which furnish the materials for making up the general
average for the kingdom rarely exceed 100,000 qrs.,
whereas the two last returns are, respectively, 150,000
qra. and 152,000 qrs. Large, however, as the deliveries
from the growers have been of late, the demand has
about kept pace with the supply; and very little altera-
don has, consequently, taken place in prices. Public
opinion appears to incline as strongly as ever to the be-
lief that prices of wheat will be considerably -higher
than they have yet been; and though the upward move-
ment has been checked by the increased quantity brought
forward, we doubt much whether any material fall from
present rates will take place. The extensive failure in
the potato crop is a sufficient reason for coming to that
conclusion, even were there no other; but it is now ascer-
tained beyond doubt that wheat is the only kind of grain
which has produced anything like an average return, all
spring-sown corn and pulse having suffered so severely
from the hot dry weather throughout the greater part
of the summer as greatly to detract from the yield.
Under these circumstances a very large importation of
foreign grain is sure to be required; and as many of our
continental neighbours are no better off than ourselves,
we shall have to pay dearly to induce them to supply
our necessities. For the present, however, a calm has
succeeded to the recent excitement; and at some few of
the leading markets a slight reaction has occurred in
prices.
From the western and north-western markets, the ac-
counts are also much less animated than they have been;
former prices were, however, tolerably well maintained
at Bristol on Thursday, and, excepting an abatement of
about ls. per qr. on wheat, very little change occurred at
Birmingham.
At most of the shipping ports on the east coast the de-
mand for wheat has been good; and though the supplies
brought forward have been liberal, good qualities of red,
weighing 62Ibs. to 63Ibs. per bushel, have not been sold
below 545. to 555. per qr. free on board. On the whole,
less impression seems to have been made in prices at the
different provincial markets, by the subdued tone of the
London advices, than might have been expected; and
there certainly does not appear much prospect of even a
temporary decline.
Our advices from Scotland inform us that the harvest
was fast drawing to a close even in the most backward
districts, and that the extraordinary fine weather had
enabled farmers to secure the grain in capital con-
dition; still the crops of spring corn would, it was esti-
mated, prove very short, and even wheat barely an ave-
rage. In regard to potatoes the reports from thence are
as bad as at any previous period, And though the in-
' clination to buy wheat had been somewhat checked by
the rather dull accounts from the south, the article was
not quoted lower on Wednesday, either at Edinburgh or
Glasgow; while oats were held at enhanced rates at both
places.
The Irish letters are for the most part taken up with
speculations on the probable effects of the failure of the
potato crop. The disease seems to be even More general
there than on this side of the Channel; and bats, a crtip
of very great irdportance in that country, are also repre-
sented to have yielded Considerably short of an average.
Rather increased supplies had, however, prevented any
fhrther rise occurring in quotations of wheat.
The arrivals of wheat coastwise itito tozidon have
been only tilt:Aerate; and the show at Mark-lane by
land carriage samples front the home counties has been
small. The averages are bagimaing to show the effects
of the tedelit great rise in the value of wheat; the last
general return for the kingdom was 505., and that for
London 545, per quartet% Either on Thnrsdity fleet, or
the following week, the duty will recede a step; and,
from present appearances, we are inclined to think that
it will colitintie to tall Until it reaches dab loWeat point
in the scale. This is, however; now comparatively of
little importance,, as thete are no stocks of consequence
in bend; lid is there 'Ruch prospect of foreign irtiporta-
tions of magnitude) the French and Belgian markets still
offering better prices than Great Britain, and the bulk
of the purchases recently made at Baltic ports have
therefore been for shipment to those countries, to the ex-
clusion of English buyers. Of foreign free wheat there
are still good stocks at this port; and somewhat more
anxiety having lately been shown by holders to realise
the extreme rates of last week have not been supported
Both on Wednesday and Friday the transactions were
of a retail character, and it was necessary to give way a
trifle to induce purchasers to conic forward. Bonded
parcels have been held so high as, in a great measure, to
check business. Orders continue to be received from
France, limited rather liberally; but the high preten-
sions of sellers have prevented their execution. Of the
7,504 quarters of wheat which have arrived from abroad
during the week, very little has been offered for sale
from on board ship, importers preferring to land in bond,
in expectation of higher prices hereafter.
The town bakers have not bonght flour quite so freely
during this as the preceding week; still there has been a
fair sale for the article at the lately enhanced prices.
The demand for American flour has also, in some mea-
sure slackened, and, in partial instances, an abatement
of 6d. per barrel from the extreme rates of last week has
been submitted to, to make sales. Good brands of
United States flour in bond have been inquired for at
275. per barrel for export; but holders having declined
accepting below 285., few bargains of consequence have
been closed.
The arrivals of English barley have not been large ;
the malsters having, however, determined not to follow
up their purchases at such high prices as those lately
paid, the trade in this grain has become dull, and the
trifling business done in new barley has been at slightly
reduced terms. Grinding qualities, whether of home or
foreign growth, have beon held very firmly, and have
commanded fully as much money as on any previous
occasion.
Though malt has come to hand. sparingly, the receipts

The prisoner was then committed for trial to Newgate

INSOLENCE OF ;-&R0731.1-COrd - Thomas Pelham
Clinton, residing at No. 16, Charlton Villas, St. John's-
wood, attended at this Court to prefer a charge against
one of his grooms, named George Workman, for having
(as entered on the police-sheet) refused to obey his mas-
ter's ord.rs, and used language of such a nature as to be
calculated to provoke a breach of the peace.
Lord Clinton said, at a quarter to five yesterday I or-
dered the prisoner, my groom, to be at the door with the
Brougham, and soon afterwards I and Lady Clinton
entered the vehicle. Her Ladyship found that the mat
was covered with gravel and dirt, and she gave it to the
page to take into the house, when the prisoner got off
his box and, opening the door of the carriage, said,
"Aml to whip this horse or not ?" I told him that he.
Was not to whip it, as I had objected to his doing so
upon previous occasions. He then exclaimed, " Oh, very
well ; then I don't drive you one inch to-night ; and
as to you (addressing Lady Clinton) before you married
my Lord, you never knew what it was to have a
Brougham to ride in."
Mr. RawLiNsoN—Did he make use of any worse lan-
guage than that which you have mentioned ? Lord
Clinton—He eontitmed his abuse, sir, and I desired him
to quit My tervioe instantly. I went to look for a police-
man, and on my entering with oue, be (prisoner) was
saying to Lady Clinton, " You're no lady, and teach
you bow tO talk to me." His wife came up and begged
of Lady Clinton to forgive him, when he said to her (the
wife) " Don't talk to her—she's too disreputable for any
one belonging to MO to speak to."
Atkins, 91 D, said—There was a disturbance and a
crowd of persons in front of his Lordship's residence,
and I heard prisoner say, " That woman (meaning Lady
Clinton) never knew anything about a Brougham till
she cants to your (Lord Clinton's) house." My Lord
then lifted his cane and struck the prisoner on the

shoulder.
Mr. EAwLINSoN (to the prisoner)—What is your
answer to this charge ? Prisoner—l merely told my
Lord that if I Was to drive him I must whip the horse
when necessary, Whets my Lady directly made a great
noise. His Lordship then got out Of the Srougham,
and with his whip struck me several times; I have
witnesses here to prove that he did so if you will allow
me to call them.
Mr. RAWLINSON—You are discharged.
Lord Clinton quitted the court by the magistrate's
private entrance, evidently much chagrined at his groom
not being punished.
SOUTHWARK.
RODEIEIIY AT A RAILWAY TERMINUS.—Sarah
a young woman of respectable appearance, was charged
with having stolen a purse containing 13s. 2d., the pro-
perty of Mrs. Ann Oliver, of Norfolk-street, Park-lane,
at the terminus of the Greenwich Railway.
The complainant stated, that at half-past ten o'clock
that morning she went to the London-bridge terminus,
and in paying her fare to Greenwich, had occasion to
take out her purse, which she returned again to her
pocket as she supposed. She then proceeded towards the
platform, and before she got up to the train she missed

the negative, adding that she knew nothing about it, and
she walked along, and took her seat in one of the car-
riages. The complainant suspecting the prisoner, went
up to Inspector Woodcock, and mentioned her suspicions
to him, and they proceeded together to the carriage in
which the prisoner had taken her seat.
Inspector Woodcock stated, that when he questioned
the prisoner, she exhibited considerable alarm, and after
some time said she would give it up to the owner if she
promised not to proceed against her. No promise, how-
ever, was held out to her, and she was then taken from
the carriage to the inspector's room, and there she pro-
duced the purse and its contents, which she pulled odt
of one of her stockings which was fastened round her
leg with her elastic garter. She was then given into
custody.
The prisoner, who trembled and was dreadfully agi-
tated, begged for mercy, saying she was of a respectable
family, and that she never intended to have committed a
robbery. She said as she passed through the wicket at
the terminus, immediately behind the lady who preferred
the charge against her, she (the prisoner) felt something
adhering to the floss silk border of her shawl, and finding
it was a purse she confessed that, instead of making the
fact known as she ought to have done, she deposited it
in her stocking. - • • •

THAMES.
INCITING TO COMMIT A FELONY.—John Elam, aged
35, a twine spinner, residing at No. 5, Butler-street,
Green-street, Bethnal-green, was brought before Mr.
Ballantine, charged with having incited Robert Ralph, a
labourer, in the employ of the East and West India Dock
Company, to commit a felony.
The charge was preferred by Mr. Dixon, superinten-
dent of the Dock Company's police, and it appeared the
prisoner had purchased through a broker at a public
sale fourteen bales of damaged stuff called " jute," a
species of New Zealand flax or hemp, and he came yes-
terday morning armed with the necessary warrants and
documents to remove them. The bales were deposited
in the centre attic of No. 2 warehouse, where Ralph, a
young man, was employed, and he was directed by his
foreman to " break out" the bales which were numbered
according to the warrant 181 to 194, and to deliver them
to the prisoner. One of the bales, numbered 189, was
very much damaged and rotten, and the prisoner ob-
serving this, offered Ralph a half-crown if he would
substitute another bale of hemp, in good condition, in
the same warehouse for it. Ralph was proof against the
bribe, and communicated with Mr. Bury, his foreman,
immediately, and he caused the prisoner to be given into
custody.
Mr. BALLANTINE—I shall send the case for trial, but
as the offence is a bailable one, I will take bail.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON

EIGHTH DAY.
Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, pursuant to ad-
journment, the special jury in the above case re-assem-

of hearing the result of the conference between the Lord
Chancellor and the Learned Commissioner, F. Barlow,
Esq., and also the terms of the arrangement between
the parties.
Mrs. Cumming, as has been her custom throughout,
was almost the first to enter the room. She appeared
gay and smiling, and was evidently in high spirits. She
was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins, and other

These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, fer they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths a
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that wn
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the lawn
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy"
states depend, the duties that aro expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future raco of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfhlly imparted,
health will be found to he in our own keeping, and happiness

friends.
Mr. James, addressing the jury, then said, that in ac-
cordance with the promise he made yesterday, he would
acquaint them with the terms of the arrangement which
had been come to between the parties. That arrange-
ment was to free the lady from all future restraint, as
well as to give clue protection to the property. As to
the propriety of such course he (Mr. James) had taken
the responsibility upon himself. He knew the jury
had paid the greatest attention to this case, and he was
glad to see that they had watched it with such judicious
care; yet he felt that it was his duty to communicate
the result of the negotiation. The heads of the
arrangement were, that Mrs. Cumming be immediately
discharged from custody, and become a perfectly free
agent tlhat a deed be executed vesting the property in
responsible and respectable trustees ; Mrs. Cumming to
have the sole use during her life ; after her death one-
third to revert to her daughter Mrs. Ince, or her chil-
dren, frt e from the control of her husband (Mr. Ince).
Another third to devolve upon Mrs. Hooper, or to her
children, also free from her husband's control ; the re.
maining third to be at the disposal of the lady herself.
The jury would be discharged from giving a verdict, and
then his Learned Friend Mr. Petersdorff and himself
would have to adopt the usual course for the superse-
donee of the Commission. It was proposed that one of
the trustees be Mr. Hutchins, Mr. Ince and Mr. Hooper
to appoint another, and the Learned Commissioner (if he
should approve) to appoint a third. These were the
arrangements. He did not ask for the sanction or ap-
proval of the jury. but he felt desirous that a matter in
which they had been so long engaged should not be
arranged in secrecy or mystery. He was happy to add
that he believed the course proposed would tend to heal
the differences which had prevailed between the family.
Mr. Petersdorff said that Mrs. Cumming had been
consulted, and had agreed to the arrangement, by
which he was happy to say a large expense would be
saved, and the differences between the family speedily
terminated.
In answer to the Learned Commissioner the counsel
on both sides intimated that they retired judicially.
The Learned:CosimissioNun observed that he had now
no hesitation as to the course to be pursued. They were
bound to make up their minds, yea or nay, upon the
evidence laid before them; but the case was now entirely
withdrawn ; and the moving power being thus removed,
they could nut proceed in the case, and it was not ripe
for their judgment. But the case had been concluded,
and they could return no verdict, as both parties had re-
tired. If only one had retired they might have pro-
ceeded, but now, even if they were locked up, they
could come to no conclusion. The lady having herself
agreed, us well us all other parties, he saw no better
mode than that of discharging them without a verdict,
with thanks for the patient attention they had given to
the long inquiry.
The Court then broke up, and Mrs. Cumming, after a
short consultation with her professional advisers, retired
in the greatest spirits with her friends.
This finally concluded one of the most singular and
extraordinary inquiries, which, in its result, viz., that of
compromise, is believed to be unprecedented, as respects
all previous Commissions of Lunacy.

[ ADVERTISEMENT.] —A CASE OF ULCERATED BAD
LEGS CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—EXiTSCI Of
a letter from Mr. Kemp, of 37, William-street, Edinburgh, dated
September 10, 1846 ;—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—l beg to
inform you that for five years I suffered dreadfully from a great num-
ber of ulcers in both my legs, during which time I was attended by
several medical men, besides trying various remedies recommended
by my friends; and I also had advice from Minto House, but a'l to
no purpose. I am, however, happy to say I have got my legs as
well as ever they were in my life, by using your pills and ointment.
