NATIONAL MERCANTILE LIFE ASSU-
RANCE COMPANY, Arthur-street West, London-Ledge.

POST.—It appears that Mr. Nobler, the solicitor of
Messrs. Rogers and Co., has suggested a mode of can-
celling the Bank of England notes recently stolen from
the firm, so as to render the property valueless to the
robbers, and that some of the partners have, in conse-
quence, had an interview with Sir James Graham upon
the subject—the Home Secretary being disposed to
entertain the proposition. The public would, no doubt,
rejoice in the success of any measure the effect of which
might be to defeat the ends of the parties im-
plicated in this atrocious case. The cancelment
of genuine Bunt( of England notes to the extent of
from 30,000/. to 40,0001., would seem, however, to
be a matter that requires the greatest consideration
before it is ventured upon ; and, with every wish to
mitigate the injury inflicted on Messrs. Rogers and
Co., the Bank Directors will, as they unquestionably
aro bound to do, feel the responsibility to be a serious
one of adopting for that, or for any other purpose, a
scheme which may, on their part, savour of repudia-
tion, and tend to create a distrust of their genrral paper
issues ; for, in the event of a large amount being declared
cancelled, though confessedly genuine, certain is is that
the majority of persons having money matters to adjust
will be unwilling to have anything to do with the notes
of the Bank of England. There would be another pal-
pable evil in the cancelment of the notes of the Bank.
Such a step would be calculated to render bankers and
others less careful than they have been of the reserves
they retain on their premises from one day to another, a
point worthy of every attention, for, the precedent being
once established, it would look invidious in the Bank
authorities not to extend the indulgence proposed to be
allowed in the max of Messrs. Rogers and Co. to other
respectable firms who may be placed in a similar pre-
dicament.
CH RONICLE.—A meting of the soap trade, nume-
rously attended, vas held at the London Tavern some
days since. The gentlemen present represented the ma-
nufacture of 50,000 tons of soap annually, and the reso-
lutions passed, calling for a repeal of the Excise duty on
this essential article of use and cleanliness, show in a
conspicuous light the evil consequences to the revenue
and honest trader that result from the high duties now

Manilla ; Nouveau Tropique, 26th, to Bourbon ;
D'Arcy, Sept. 4, to Liverpool ; Manlius, 21st, to Lout-

the best accompaniment of its kind for a voyage.

NEW SELF-AC PING COFFEE FILTER.
Impressed with the manifold defects of all existing filters of
coffee, arising from complication of construction, liability to be put
out of order, uncertainty of action, expense in use, &c., RIPPON
and BURTON have purchased a NEW VERTICAL SELF-ACT-
ING COFFEE FILTER, which is extremely simple ; it will al-
ways make the clearest coffee without trouble, it can scarcely be put
out of order, and can be adapted to any description of coffee-pot in
use.—Filters in block tin from 4s. each ; coffee-pots and filters
complete in block tin from 7s. each.
To be had only of the Proprietors.
THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The material RIPPON and BURTON offer to the Public
has for the last ten years been found equal to silver in appearance
and sweetness, and superior to it in durability. Of the prices of
tea-sets, waiters, candlesticks, and all articles hitherto made in sil-
ver, a detailed catalogue, with engravings, will be sent (gratis) post-
free. Fiddle Threaded Victoria

levied.
It appears that the recent discovery of frauds in large
manufactories proves that it is impossible to collect a
duty of 70 or 80 per cent. on an article so rapidly manu-
factured and so easily sold as soap. The repeal of this
duty would be most beneficial to the health and comfort
of the industrious classes, and would materially assist
the efforts which are being made all over the country to
improve their moral and intellectual condition. The
noblemen and gentlemen who have taken an active part
in promoting the construction of public baths for the
working classes cannot fail to appreciate the truth of this
observation, which is embodied in one of the resolutions
adopted at the meeting of the trade, at which Mr. Wil-
liam Hawes presided, and will probably be disposed to
afford their powerful aid in promoting the efforts of the
trade in the next session of Parliament to obtain relief.
The repeal of the soap duty would make the washhouses
for the working classes, proposed in connexion with the
public baths, far more useful than they can be while soap
is liable to the existing oppressive exactions of the offi-
cers English Market continued quiet all day,

but the quotations were firm, and there do not appear to
be any sellers. Consols were 991 to par ; Bank Stock
was 2071 to 208 i.
Spanish Five per Cents. were 241 ; and the Three
per Cents. 341 to 35 ; Mexican were up to 3611.
Some of the Shares in the old lines of Railway were
rather dearer, but there was not much doing after three
o'clock.
The Foreign Exchanges have been rather higher on
Frankfort and Trieste, but not quite so good on
llamburgh.

TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS•
At a season like this, when the juvenile folks
Are beginning to count en their holiappear day jokes ;
H hen numberless glad preparations
To welcome the season of Christmas with cheer,
E. MOSES and SON feel inclined to impress
The importance of buying their " juvenile dress."
If parents and guardians wish to be suited
With garments whose value was never disputed ;
If they wish for their youths to been lad
ag in a way
Which makes them look comely, ging , and gay,
Let them purchase at once of E. MOSES and SON
Those suits which such marks of approval have won.
The " juvenile dresses" of MOSES are made
In the newest of fashion, with beautiful braid;
The dresses are formed just to suit tender age,
And therefore your children are sure to engage.
You'll not find them made in ass old.tashion'd style,
Which often makes persons with ridicule smile;
Their taste and their elegant neatness have won,
Ten thousand approvals for MOSES and SON.
These garments are made in a manner so firm,
That really we're quite at a loss for a term.
Your children may join in the juvenile sport,
But they'll not hurt their garments, so firmly they're wrought.
Then hasten this season, as thousands have done,
For the juvenile clothing of MOSES and SON.
A new work, entitled " THE COMMERCIAL PHENO.
MENO ~" with full directions for Self. Measurement, on applica.
tion, will be forwarded post free.

TO THE COMMITTEE OP TIIE CORNWALL RAILWAY

FROM PLYMOUTH TO FALMOUTH.
I have always given a decided preference to a Cen-
tral Line of Railway, which ultimately extending its
branches to different points of the county, must em-
brace and ali3orb the whole of its traffic, and only
because the formation of such line then appeared to
be hopeless, assented to the policy of seeking aid from
existing companies, and of submitting to conditions
imposed by them with a regard to their own interests.
The Central Line being now almost universally
popular, and ample funds offered to its Committee,
their power of raising capital without shackling their
proprietors, cannot be doubted. I believe that the
natural advantages are incomparably greater, and
that the cost of construction will, relatively to distance,
be less on the Central Line, but were it not so, the
benefit which that line of railway will confer
on Cornwall and Falmouth in particular, with
which my interests and affections are identified,
would fully compensate for the pecuniary sacrifice
to Cornishmen; with it, the Foreign Packets, so
unwisely and unjustly removed, must inevitably and
irrevocably be restored ; a restoration otherwise
doubtful at the least ; in fact, our county may again
become, not only the great highway of Europe, but
its ancient intercourse with the nations of the South
be most advantageously renewed.
Believing it to be right and honourable to act on
my convictions, rather than place others in a false
position by my example, I withdraw my name from
your Committee, and remain, very respectfully,
Grove Hill, Nov. 30, 1844. G. CROKER FOX.
