Many of the merchants are expressing great un-
easiness at the order issued by the Lord Mayor to the
effect that no person will be admitted into the Poultry,
Mansion-house-street, Cornbill, Bartholomew-lane, or
Threadneedle-street, after nine o'clock on Monday next.
With respect to bills of exchange, as has already been
stated, there is no law to distinguish Monday from any
other day, and yet the above order will render the pre-
sentation of them for payment absolutely impossible in
all the principal streets of London. Had the time been
limited to ten or eleven o'clock, the dissatisfaction might
have been less general, but the merchants do not receive
many of their letters until nine o'clock, and therefore a
day is entirely lost, though there is notbing in the law
of the country to provide against the consequences of
such an occurrence. The feeling in the city is very
strong on this subject, and certainly some steps sbonld
be taken to relax an order that, if enforced, may lead to
great inconvenience in the commercial world.— Times.
DREAMT'. DF.talTl37lQlc—Mr, Watley yesterday
held an inquest on the body of a nian named Hall, who
had died in Marylebone. His widow stated, that after
having pawned every article they possessed, she was
compelled, he being too ill to work, to apply for parochial
relief, but it wag refused her, and he died from actual
want `(it appeared) in a few days afterivards. The Co-
roner declared he could see the poor woman herself was
literally starving at tilt .!noErnt. She said her
Children (feur in. number) were in a siMilaistite.- Sonie
medicine-had been given to her husband; but they were
told that if they applied agaip for relief they wdulcl be
"passed!' to their ash, which they did Hot -as
their only chance 0 employment was where they were.
The Coroner expressed his disgust at such a horrible
state of things, and adjourned the inquest for a post
tnortem examination, meltnwhile giving the Poor woman
liv4!e Silver ror her immediate relief,
