PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES ADOPTED BY THS
LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS OF LONDON.—The apprehen-
slims entertained by the shopkeepers, tradesmen, and
capitalists of the metropolis, as to the proceedings of
Monday next, may be conceived from the fact that
Messrs. Goding and the other large breweries and dis-
tilleries of London have resolved, not only not to trans-
act any business from this day forward until the antici-
pated disturbances shall be put down ; but they have
given instructions to barricade their establishments, and
to add to the ordinary defences such other guards as
shall set at defiance -the attacks of the evil• disposed-
The workmen in these establishments, who have bees
sworn in as special constables are (with permission of
the constituted authorities), to remain upon the pre-
mises, arrangements having been made within the pre-
mises for their accommodation.

SUDDEN DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-COLONIL
—Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, the following
awful instance of sudden death occurred to Lieutenant-
Colonel Moore, at the residence of the Gallant Colonel,
No. 8, Hartland-terrace, Kentish-town. It appears that
the Gallant Officer, who was in his 10th year, and who
served nearly 50 years in India, came down to his break-
fast, as usual, about half-past eight o'clock, and was just
about to commence his meal, when he suddenly fell from
his chair insensible, and in his fall inflicted severe injury
to the 1,-ft temple. The medical attendant of the family,
Mr. J. R. Williams, of Grove street, Camden-town, was
at once sent tor, and promptly attended, but the vital
spark had fled previous to that gentleman's arrival. Mr.
