AN APPEAL to the
WIDOW of WILLIAM
CO Mr

The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the
Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted but unfor-
tunate Poet of Inverury, beg leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to
the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, is behalf of the
trust which has been con Med to them.
The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac-
knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his muse
have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form,
but in various periodicals. Ills talents attracted the attention of the
. _

ablest judges; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de-
voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of
praise to which they considered his merits entitled.
The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of
a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis-
appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and
distress.

Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the llawkhill
of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on
his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished
to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend
his latter days in comparative peace and quiet. •
His wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return
from his wanderings, debilitated anti impoverished, and breathed his
last on Monday, the 28th of February. He has left a widow and three
infant children, the youngest but five months old, totally unprovided
for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if
possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Committee has
been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al-
ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded
to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey,
Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others,
have spontaneously sent their contributions; and it is earnestly
hoped that the charitable end the admirers of native cenius and un-
obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which
the Committee have in view.
Dundee, March 10, 1848:

Contributions will be received by any of the Members of Cemmit•
tee; and at the shops of Messrs. Chalmers, Shaw, and Middleton,
Booksellers, and Mr. Mills, Perfumer, Dundee.
DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERURY POET.
(To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.")

Dundee, February 29, IS4B.
Sir,—The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to
the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For
some time past he had been in delicate and declining health ; and
his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer-
tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his
honourable and sensitive mmd. Yesterday, in our city, at half-
past eleven A.M., he departed this life. He has left behind him
something more than a name—some true and beautitul strains.
which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not
willingly suffer, like the inscription on the coffin, to be buried in
the tomb. lie has left behind him, alas! something of yet ten-
derer and mere mournful interest—a widow and three children,
th 7 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few
months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind-
ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere
this to the charity of the streets. I make Ito appeal in behalf of
the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever lie sleeps well." He has
found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at
last find, and which to Min was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will
I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment
which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly
poetic usage. He was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could sup
on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for
years : But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his
destitute family. I would implore every lover of literature—
every one who has derived pleasure froin the departed poet's
lyrics, or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure
and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex-
clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw
him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath
given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how
far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by
generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was
the privilege of meeting, with and hearing him for the last time.
No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost Intima-
tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be,
dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and
others But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death-
bed, let us follow the start we have accidentally gained by instant,
active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and Ids fatherless
bairns.

The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before
his death :

SONG OF TIIE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE.
Tune—" Miller o' Dee."
While we laugh and sing, in this happy ring,
With a bright and a brotherly glee,
May we never forget that the sun hath set
On the homes of misery.
For oh ! it may be that this chill night wind
Sweeps round some fireless hearth,
Freezing the heart of the homeless ens,
With never a friend on earth.
Then aye, as we sing, may we closercling,
In our bright and brotherly glee ;
Yet never forget that the sun may set
On the homes of misery.

113RITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL FIRE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY,
37, New Bridge street, Blackfriars, London.
THE MUTUAL PRINCIPLE applied to Life Assurance has met
with extraordinary and long continued success.
FIRE ASSURANCE, however, is almost exclusively conducted
on the proprietary system.
The evidence is complete that large profits are derivable from Fire
Assurance.
BY THE MUTUAL PLAN all these profits are divided among
the Assured, who alone have the control. The Directors are chosen
by the Members from among themselves.
The success which has attended the progress of the British Mutual
Life Assurance Company has led to the establishment of this Society
on these principles, and which is now effecting Assurances against
Fire at the Louden and Provincial Offices, where Prospectuses may
be obtained.
Application for Agencies may be made to the Secretary.

" Ono of the great errors of the present time, espe-
cially injurious by its peculiar operation in the commer-
cial world, is the constant endeavour to keep up the ap-
pearance of greater wealth than is actually possessed.
It was not the fashion, formerly, for the merchant or the
trader to aim at a rivalry with the extravagance of rank
and fashion. The merchant or the trader did nut then
disdain a residence in the house where he carried on his
business and made his money. He indulged in no ex-
travagance nor ostentation; but plodded on, honestly
ar.d perseveringly, until, at length, be had sufficient
means to retire, leaving, it might be, a good name and
a fair capital to the son or grandson who was to con-
tinue the business. A new system has sprung up. The
merchant, the trader, even the retail shopkeeper in nu-
merous instances, disdains anything so low as a resi-
dence on the premises, where his business is conducted.
The merchant shifts from the City and its precincts to
the most fashionable streets, terraces, or square of the
West-end, where his establishment—liveried servants,
stud, equipages, plate, furniture, pictures, sculpture, and
entertainments—rival, and often eclipse those of the he-
reditary and titled possessors of landed property. Per-
haps he may also have a suburban villa in which to
ruralise, as well as ho can, during the summer and
autumn months. In like manner, the trader and the
shopkeeper are disgusted with the place where they con-
descend to transact the business by which they live. On
a more limited scale, they follow the example of the
merchant. They have their villas' in the suburbs—
keep up an interchange of sumptuous dinner and other
parties with their friends—are particularly knowing on
the subject of vintages—affect a taste for the tine arts—
are critical on the comparative merits of Jenny Lind,
Grisi, and Alboni—are in ecstasies over the pirouettes of
Cerito and Fabri—contrive to waste time and money at
the fashionable watering places with their families, and
live, in fact, as if the income-tax were a thing unknown
and unthought of. After a time, the night comes. The
grand show and extravagance naturally pave the way to
the Gazette. The bankrupt is very much pitied. His
estate may pay some eighteenpence in the pound. Ile
is encouraged—invited—pressed to recommence busi-
ness. He gets whatever credit he requires. Ile pro-
bably pursues the same course again, and most probably
with the same results. Now, if a proper principle of
rectitude prevailed in the commercial world, such things
as these could not occur, or, if they did, they would heap
shame and bring punishment upon those who did them.
On the Continent there are more prosecutions for frau-
dulent bankruptcies in one year, than in England in
twenty : yet who will say that there is less fraud in
Eugland P'
" Young Ireland " may wince under the follow-
ing remarks, but their truth is undeniable :
" Of that self-dependence, then, which would labour
for the public and for private advantage, there is little
in Ireland. Nearly every article of wearing apparel,
every necessary, every luxury, is got from England.
The very paper and ink a man writes with, the quills or
steel pens he uses, the wax or wafers with which he
closes his letter, the coat he puts upon his back, the hat
chiefs,—all articles in metal,
which he puts upon his head, his gloves, shoes, handker-
razor to the steam-engine and the thrashing-machine,—
whatever is required for use or show, by necessity or
from the penknife and the
luxury, the Irishman obtains from England. He will
not believe that he can produce them himself; he cannot
believe that, if produced in Ireland, they can be as good
as those which are imported. Ile talks of patriotism,—
and gets everything from England; he is eloquent over
the poverty of his native land,—but makes no effort to
remove that poverty by energy and industry ! He con-
siders it an amazingly fine thing to cherish the excite-
ment of believing that a Parliament in College-green
would make the country great, glorious, and free,'—
what she never was. He gets up a sensation, every now
and then, in favour of 'lrish manufactures;' and ha-
rangues, with indignation and eloquence, against the
use of English materials for dress or domestic consump-
tion. And, even while he is stringing fine sentences
together, in an effective and brilliant oration (thinking
all the time how well it will look in the newspapers),
English broad cloth is upon his limbs; a French hat, of
choice Regent-street make, is on his head; his hands
and feet are adorned with gloves and boots from Paris;
his silk handkerchief is redolent of Spitallields; and his
very innermost garment was wrought in a cotton factory
at Manchester, for he patriotically prefers English
calico to Irish linen! How much better would it be, if
these eloquent and high-minded gentlemen—who talk so
fervently and write with such intensity—would really
apply themselves to remedy the evils they deplore, con-
demn, and get angry with. Let them determine, really
and truly, to-give the preference to Irish manufactures,
and the thing is done. In this, as in most others, the
first step properly taken is the conquering of the diffi-
culty. They must not expect that, as by a miracle,
every branch of Irish manufactures can in a moment
equal those which they have hitherto imported. But let
there once be the demand, and the supply will be not
only abundant but gond. Skilled labour can readily be
procured from the places where it has done so much;
and it would be an imputation which the Irish do not
deserve, to think that they could not as readily learn
how to do things properly as other people have learned."
The chapter on the circulation of wages is the most
important in the work; it must be studied per se.
The American statistics, brought down to the month
of March, are full of valuable facts. Indeed, the
whole work is literally a storehouse of facts, adroitly
brought to bear upon the subject of the work. We
can easily perceive that the pen of a clear and prac-
tised writer has been at work here upon materials
which extensive experience has carefully collected.
The work ought to be studied by statesmen, mer-
chants, and lawyers ; it addresses itself, indeed, to all
classes. An appendix very properly supplies a view
of the law and nature of partnership ; a digest of
the Parliamentary evidence on the commandite system;
the law of limited partnership in France, Ireland, and
New York, and the heads of a law, to have like
cated to Mr. Bellenden Ker in 1837.

PARTNERSHIP "EN COM MANDITE
PARTNERSHIP IV 'TB LIMITED LIABI-
LITIES. 1 Vol. Bco.
Appropriately dedicated to Lord Brougham, as
" the earnest advocate of law reform," this volume is
an able argument, with illustrations from the compa-
rative trade and commerce of this and other countries,
in favour of partner,hip en commandite, a system
advantageously engrafted on the mercantile law of
France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, as well
as in the United States of America. Here—unless
there be a special exemption by the provisions of an
Act of Parliament, a charter, or letters patent—every
shareholder in a joint-stock company is liable to the
fullest extent of his property, no matter how small
his investment, for all the liabilities of the con-
cern. On the commandite principle, the liability
extends no further than the amount of capital which
each party actually puts down as his share. The
work before us strongly urges the adoption of that
system, as affording very favourable oortunities for
the employment of capital, the circulation of wages,
and the revival of our home and colonial trade. This
. is not a law-book, it is rather a review of the condition
and prospects of our trade and commerce, particu-
larly with reference to the competition which the
Zollverein union of Germany and the United States
of America are establishing against our manufactures,
both for home consumption and for the supply of
countries which we had heretofore considered as our
own peculiar and profitalY,e markets. The inference
is, that as the competition, which is rapidly in-
creasing, is likely to injure our foreign
trade, we should seek a compensation in
our ome and colonial markets and that partnership
en comniandile, with its limited liability, would
supply the requisite capital to effect this with indivi-
dual and national gain. An introductory chapter,
partly autobiographical (though the work is anony-
mous), gives some curious particulars relative to the
rise and progress of the cotton trade in this country.
Succeeding chapters treat of the trade and commerce
of 1847, circulation of wages, competition and decline
of trade, cause and effect of panics, competition of
American and British trade, industrial resources of
Ireland and the colonies, and employment of capital.
We fear there is only too much truth in this sarcastic
account of that fondness for display which has
hastened, if not caused, many disasters of late
years :

on
nßond-street,
which at the time was thought to have been fatal, he
being quite insensible some time after it. It appears
that the horse he was riding took fright, and becoming
quite unmanageable, ran away, and after proceeding
some distance, ran against a cab, but getting clear of that
was observed to give several violent plunges and fall,
throwing the gentleman with great violence on his head;
.the horse, who was much injured, falling on its back,
and rolling over him. Mr. Deedes, when picked up,
was discovered to have broken his left arm, his left eye,
as well as other parts of his face, being severely cut.
Re was immediately conveyed home in a lady's car-
riage that happened to be passing, when he was attended
by Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr. Hicks of Henrietta-
street, and is now reported to be going on favourably.
THE LADY GODIVA PROCESSION.—Last week a
public meeting was held to consider the expediency of
getting up at our approaching great fair in June the
anciently instituted procession of Lady Godiva. After
the subject had been conversationally discussed, the de-
sirableness of having such a procession was unanimously
agreed to, and a committee formed to carry the under-
taking into effect. Nearly 201. was subscribed in the
room towards defraying the expenses of the procession,
and other subscriptions have also been received, amount-
ing at present to upwards of 501.—Coventry Herald.

vicinity, who was dreadfully afflicted with wounds on
various parts of his body—his constitution was so debi-
litated that his death was considered certain, but the
application of Holloway's Ointment and Pills have per-
formed wonders, for this young man has been completely
cured, and so extraordinary is the case that the Editor
of the Sydney Morning Herald has given publicity to it
in his paper of January 4, 1848. Sold by all Druggists,

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—Yesterday
opening match of the season took place, but w
the want of wind was a tedious affair. The weather,
although extremely pleasant for an excursion, was most
unfavourable for sailing. There was not enough of the
propelling power throughout the match to test the sail-
ing qualities of the yachts, and for the first three hours
the surface of the water was as smooth as a well kept
bowling-green, the yachts being more indebted to the
tide under them than to the wind above for their tardy
progress. Eventually the Daring was the winner of
the first prize, the Secret the winner of the second-class
prize, and the Frolic of the third, and the prizes were
presented by Lord Alfred Paget with appropriate
speeches.

THE POLISH BALL.—The annual ball in aid of the
funds of the Polish Association took place last night at
Willis's Rooms. It was very fully and fashionably at-
tended, upwards of 700 being present, amongst whom
we observed the Duchesses of Leeds and Argyll ; the
Countesses of Egremont and Zetland; Viscountesses
Dillon, Dungarvon, and Gage; the Marchioness of
Sligo, the Dowager Marchioness of Sligo, Lady Dover,
Lady Stratheden, tee. The four costume dances
were the Duchess of Leeds' White Eagle quadrille, the
Marchioness of Aylesbury's mazurka, the Duchess of
Bedford's Oak-leaf quadrille, and Mrs. Milner Gibson's
Red Plume quadrille. The whole affair went off with
great spirit, dancing being kept up till an advanced hour

ills LORDSUIP gave judgment in this case, which came
before the Court a short time since upon motion to dis
miss the plaintiff's bill. His Lordship ordered the bill to bu
dismissed without costs as to some of the parties, and
with costs as to others.

WILLIE V. ELLIS.—SLIDGMENT.
The MASTER of the ROLLS also gave judgment in this
motion to discharge an order for irregularity, which
required the plaintiff to give security for costs. His
Lordship dismissed the motion with costs.
• WILSON V. EDEN.—JUDGMENT.
His Lordship also gave judgment in this case, in
which the bill was filed for the purpose of obtaining the
opinion of the Court, as to whether under the will and
codicil of the late Sir Robert J. Eden, who was possessed
of large freehold and leasehold estates in Yorkshire, his
leasehold estates, passed by the will under the clause,
providing for the disposition of the freehold estates, or
under the residuary clause. On the case coming on for
argument, the Master of the Rolls suggested that the
best course to be adopted, would be to have the question
decided by a case at law, but the parties preferring to
have his Lordship's decision, he consented to give it.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted
to 7,000 to 8,000 bales ; 1,000 bales of American were
taken on speculation. Prices of American under 4kd.
were a shade dearer; other descriptions remain without
alteration. In Railway Shares the market was quiet,
with very little business doing ; prices, however, were
but very little changed.
Intelligence has been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house of the arrival off Liverpool of
the steam-ship Britannia, from Boston and Halifax. It
is not expected, however, that the letters and papers
will be in town until late to-night.
The continental advices, with the exception of those
from Denmark, are not favourably construed. Almost
everywhere the impression seems to gain ground that
an hour may bring forth further important movements
in France. The junction of Nugent and Radetsky pro-
mises more decided news from Italy ere many days have
elapsed, and no one can arrive at a conclusion as to what
is next to take place in Naples.
The progress of the debate upon the navigation-laws
is watched with considerable interest, and the admission.

There are accounts from Java which notice the suspen-

Accounts from Spain advise the failure of two firms at
Malaga engaged in the fruit and oil trades. It would
almost appear from what we hear that the mercantile

interest of Spain is experiencing temporarily an
incon-
venient pressure, owing to the unfortunate misunder-
standing with England.
The Stock market is exceedingly dull, and it is re-
markable that there is such apparent uncertainty
in the views of parties connected with it.

than at present that prices would improve, but
