The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the " HALL
of eOMMERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this
Institution.

It has been built and established at a very great cost., by a
•ingle individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com-
munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit
worthy the metropolis of the world.
The subscription is now placed on so moderate a scale as to
e no object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences
offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
existing establishments appropriated to specific branches of
trade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large
body of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
London occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
from the Continent and other foreign ports.

the Subscribers.

The scenes it unfolds, the characters it paints, the manners

and pure, adapted to chasten the heart by rectifying the affec-
tions."—Eclectic Review.

CUTION IN JAMAICA.

The Jamaica papers give an account of a dreadful case
of violation and murder, rendered more horrible by the
circumstances attending the execution of the criminals.
The story is the more remarkable, too, from the circum-
stance, that the crime was discovered by the confessions
of the perpetrators, extorted from them by the agonies of
remorse. Two men, of the name of Pendrill and Reeve,
alias Chitty, were imprisoned for some, minor offences, in
two prisons at a distance from each other ; the one at
Falmouth, and the other at Kingston. Both of them, in
their sleeping as well as waking moments, made such
revelations respecting a crime they had committed, that
they were brought to trial for it. On the trial, the evi-
dence of the persons in whose hearing they had made
these revelations was brought forward. Some parts of it
were as follows :—Thomas Anderson said he had been
confined in the Falmouth district prison for assault. He
knew Pendrill, and saw him in January. They occupied
the same room. During the nights, Pendrill used to ho
very much agitated ; he would call out in his sleep,
" What do you want with me ? I did'nt kill you ; go
away." He tossed his arms about, tore his clothes, and
stripped himself quite naked. One morning after he had
been calling out in his sleep in this manner in the
Penitentiary, Pendrill then told witness that he and
Reeve (Chitty), coming from Falmouth, had met a girl
whom they had carried into the bush, and murdered.
Other witnesses described similar conduct, on the part
of Reeve (or Chitty), in Kingston prison. Upon this evi-
dence, and corroboratory facts, the two culprits were
convicted. They were executed at Falmouth on the
30th of November.7„On the scaffold they behaved with
the utmost composure, and, notwithstanding the exhor-
tations of the clergyman who attended them, steadily
denied their guilt. The appalling circumstances attend-
ing the conclusion of the scene are thus detailed by the
Cornwall Chronicle :—His reverence the Rector then
commenced to read the funeral service, and while the
tremulous tones of his voice still resounded in the ears of
these wretched men, the drop fell from beneath their
feet, and there succeeded a scene of horror which we
heartily pray we may never witness anything like again.
The rope with which Chitty was suspended broke by the
violence of the fall, occasioned by the length of slack al-
lowed him ; the cap which covered Pendrill's face being
too big and unfastened was blown oft; and the dreadful
emotions of his features from the agonies of death on
the countenance of the unfortunate sufferer became pain-
fully visible to the gaze of the surrounding spectators,
many of whom burst into tears, and nearly all uttered
ejaculations of the harrowing sensations with which
they were agitated. Chitty, in the meantime, without
assistance, quickly got upon his legs, unhurt, and imme-
diately exclaimed, " This is fair play ; fair play for it."
This exclamation he reiterated several times, with slight
variations in the collocation of the words. Meantime a
messenger was dispatched on horseback for a fresh
supply of rope, while old Bacchus, the executioner, was
mechanically engaged in knotting another noose from
the fragment of rope which remained. The wretched
man continued to declare his innocence of the murder,
and declared that he never knew the girl, be never saw

his hand, he said, " I will take my chance with that."
He again ascended the step ladder, the top of which was
used for a drop. Ile made no faltering stop. On
gaining the upper landing, and while the executioner
was making preparation, he exclaimed, " Oh, Mighty
Lord Jesus—guilty sinners shall be cast into hell—if
in Heaven thou can save me—if cast into hell thou
canst!see me—l suffer.death like a man—l never knew the
girl—l never saw the girl, but lam doomed to death for
thou only one." After a pause he addressed himself in
prayer. When he had left off speaking, Mr. Macintyre
advanced to the front of the scaffold and addressed him:
—Sam Reeve, it has pleased the Lord to give you fur-
ther time to join again with me in prayer, let us then—
the Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to read the funeral
service, where he had left off ; while so engaged, the
step ladder was very adroitly tripped up, and the wretched
sufferer once more swung off, his cap was again blown
away, and his features exposed. in a similar manner to
Pendrill's. His sufferings must have been very great ;
his body was dreadfully convulsed for two or three mi-
nutes, during which time he repeatedly kicked the then
lifeless body of his fellow prisoner, which hung below
him, and at one time raised both his legs and placed
them upon Pendrill's shoulders, thus adding another ac-
companiment to the completion of this scene of horror.

TORY POLICY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,--From the first formation of the present Minis-
try, no doubt ever entered my mind but, that as a Tory
Government, they would act. Tory and Whig politics
are so essentially opposed, the one (Tory) governing
for the people (oligarehically), and the other with the
the people, that it is impossible fur a leader of either
party to act differently from that party to which he
belongs. And this the Tories knew when they placed
themselves under the guidance of Sir R. Peel, that they
placed themselves under a Tory leader, bred up in the
oligarchical system of government ; and that, in the true
spirit of that system, the country, at home and abroad,
would be governed. This the Liberals felt when they
withdrew their confidence from the late Government,
that they (the late Government) were becomin`g shy of
their principles. Look at Sir It. Peel's government of
England—lreland. Look at his foreign
.policy. Again,
his income-tax. In every essential it is a true Tory
Government. The income-tax—a vexatious impost,
injurious to industry as an additional tax, is
essentially useful in bringing food for the crib,
to which so many hungry Tories are continually
hurrying. Extravagance, ever an ingredient in the
legislation of the representatives of the people, knows
no bounds under a Tory majority. Exceeding Tory is
our foreign policy, cajoled or bullied by every power,
and this has invariably been our fate under a Tory
Government. With regard to Spain, Lord Aber-
deen has had but one object, the derange-
ment of Espartero's Government ; this likewise
being Louis Philippe's object. Between them it
has been speedily effected. Lord Aberdeen for
consistency sake, in having espoused Don Carlos' cause
—Louis Philippe from selfish motives, in the advantage
he might gain from the disorders that were certain to
arise. If Lord Aberdeen did not foresee the disorders
that inevitably would arise, what a wretched cat's-paw
he has been in the service of Louis Philippe. And if he
did, it marks the risks that he would run against
Liberal principles. This is Lord Aberdeen ; but Lord
Aberdeen is of the Cabinet, where these things are dis-
cussed, and of which Cabinet Sir Robert Peel is at the
head. Look to Ireland. The dismissal of magistrates
for advocating the cause of Repeal. The non-dismissal
of other magistrates (of opposite politics) for abuse of
power. The job, in face of the Act of Parliament, re-
garding Irish Church livings—the State trials—the
miserable schemes to secure a conviction, and last, the
striking out every Catholic from the jury list on the
ground of his religion. Is not this most essentially
Tory—and is not Sir Robert Peel at the head of the
Government, that authorises it ? Let the country enjoy
a Tory Government with a Tory leader if they like it.
' But do not let it flatter itself, that there exists the least
modification of the old leaven. Your obedient servant,

MANUFACTURING DISTRESS IN FRANCE.—The
National publishes the following letter, signed by a number •f
manufacturers of Cambrai :
" TO THE EDITOR. OF THE NATIONAL.'
" As the Minister has not feared to affirm that commerce is
in a prosperous condition, and as a controversy may. be raised
on this assertion, we send you some information relative to the
position of our arrondissement, the most considerable in the
department of the north.
" Never since 1815 were commercial affairs in a worse
position.
."I'he trade in cambrics is completely null.
" A crisis exists amongst the cotton and woollen manufac-
turers. The operative weavers can only earn from 10 to 15
sous a day.
" The oil trade, which formed the most important branch of
commerce in the arrondissement, is so completely paralysed,
that a mill, which some time since cost 100,000 f., would not
sell for 20,600 f.
" The value of house property has fallen 40 per cent., and
what is worse, landed property has fallen 33 per cent.
" There is in fact but one trade in a prosperous condition,
and that is the trade of a banker, who discounts at 7 and 8
per cent.
" We defy the Government to contradict a single one of our
assertions, and we are ready to prove what we advance.
" We authorise 3ou to publish this letter.

INSULT TO THE CATHOLICS OF IRELAND.—GREAT
MEETING OF THE CATHOLICS OF DUNDALK.—On yester-
day, pursuant to a requisition numerously and influentially
signed, a meeting of the Catholics of Dundalk was held in the
old chapel, to express their indignation at the foul and auda-
cious course pursued by the Crown prosecutors in striking off
the names of the Catholics from the jury list, and thereby in-
timating that they could not be trusted on their oaths. The
meeting was the most crowded ever witnessed within the walls
of any building in the town, and was composed of the wealtb
and respectability, the bane and sinew of the town and neigh-
bourhood.—Dublin Pilot.
The National de l' Ouest of Nantes gives the follow-
ing account of a deplorable event which happened a few days
ago at a manufactory for chemical preparations near the town,
on the road to Rennes :—" Sixteen men were employed in
sweeping one of the work-shops, the floor of which was co-
vered with lead, when they soon found themselves much af-
fected by deleterious emanations, and hastened away. The
evil, however, was done. They were all poisoned. Every re-
medy their cases required was immediately administered, but
two of them died, and the rest are in a serious state, though
hopes of saving them are entertained. The magistracy has
instituted an inquiry in order, if possible, to prevent a recur-
rence of similar consequences.
THE COMMERCIAL GREATNESS OF ENGLAND...—.

A FORTUNATE NEWSMAN.—A poor honest worthy
man, in the vicinity of Shrewsbury, is about to emerge
into comparative affluence. Thomas Williams, known
many years in that town as " the Llandrinio Post," and
who has conveyed the Shrewsbury Chronicle, half a cen-
tury, lately received a letter:from Liverpool, informing
him that a brother died in Jamaica, bequeathing to him,
as his nearest relative, two' estates there, and 14,0001.
Honest Tom Williams suspected this letter to be a hoax,
thought nothing about it, and never named it to his
family. At length a letter was received by the post-
master of Shrewsbury, inquiring whether a person, such
as we have stated the Llandrinio postman to be, was in
existence, and the result is, that Thomas Williams is the
fortunate man.—Hereford Journal.
MARRIAGE IN MGR LIFE.—A Baltimore corre-
spondent of the New York Herald, who was present at
the marriage, on the .12th instant, of the Hon. Carroll
Spence, to a grand-daughter of the late Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, writes, "It was indeed a
most magnificent display, comprising the beauty
of the city, and that beauty rendered still more attrac-
tive by surrounding objects, and the anxious ex-
pectation of the company to see the bride and groom
enter. In parlours magnificently furnished, the walls
hung with works of the old masters, chandeliers sus-
pended from the ceiling, brackets and other ornaments
of the most beautiful form and workmanship ar-
ranged round the rooms, large and costly mirrors
reflecting the splendour of the apartments, were
gathered together of Baltimore " the young, the gay,
the beautiful." All was gaiety, all life and activity.
The rich jewels of Madam Bonaparte, and which, by
the way, are said to be the most valuable in the country,
glittered magnificently as she moved. She is unques-
tionably the most beautiful woman of her age, in Bal-
timore, and is battling with time, inch by inch, with
an energy only exhibited by one of the fair sex, when
they possess an object which they deem worthy the use of
their powers. There, too, among the great ones of the
land, were to be seen Mr. Richard Caton and his lady,
who is the daughter of the late Charles Carroll of
Carrollton, and mother of the Ilonourable Lady Wel-
lesley, &c. Rumour says it is the intention of the
Caton family to dispose of their landed property in
this country and spend their remaining days in Europe.
Jerome Bonapate, who bears a strict resemblance
to his uncle, was also one of the company, with a
host of others. At about nine o'clock the company
had all assembled and anxiously awaited the consum-
mation—when the doors of the adjoining parlour were
thrown open, and four groomsmen appropriately ar-
rayed, each accompanied by a bridemaid, entered, fol-
lowed by the couple who are now man and wife. Never
have we seen two persons, judging from appearance,
better calculated to make each other happy. While the
Venerable Dr. Wyatt was performing the ceremony not
a voice was heard—all was still—still as the hour of
death, and in that stillness we heard the compact sealed,
" Carroll and Rebecca, I pronounce thee man and wife."
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JAN.

15.—Though there have not been so many buyers in the
market, we have had a very fair demand for flannels, at
former prices. The wcol market has been brisk, and
prices arc looking up.
STATE OF TRADE.—Owing to the excitement pre-
vailing in the Liverpool cotton market, there was a very
unsettled and [irregular market here yesterday. Spin-
ners and manufacturers generally demanded an advance
about equal to that which has taken place on the raw
material ; but the buyers, though disposed to purchase
rather freely at a small advance on previous rates, were
not generally inclined to give the prices demanded, and
the amount of business done was rather limited, though,
in most cases, at the rates demanded by the sellers.—
Manchester Guardian.
GRAY'S INN, JAN. 17.—John Romilly, Esq., re-
cently appointed one of her Majesty's Counsel, took his

SPLENDID SPECULATION.—Saturday a gentleman
in London sold for the sum of 75,000/., a piece of land,
on the Seacombe side of Wallasey Pool, which he bought,
two years ago, for 8,0001. The land has a good and
extensive frontage to the pool, and when the grand plan
of converting the pool into a dock is completed, it will be

In consequence of the extension of our possessions in the East
Indies, and the opening of the various ports in the Chinese
seas, acquired by the late treaty with the Emperor of China,
which has occasioned an extensive demand for our manu-
factures, a very large supply of shipping, for the export of
the various commodities, has been advertised at Lloyd's during
the previous week to be ready to start for their respective
foreign ports in the course of the ensuing month. The
number of ships announced to leave the various docks ad-
joining the River 'filmes and Gravesend, for Madras, Cal-
cutta, Bombay, Australia, China, Hong-Kong, and other
parts of the east, amounts to above 60, whose tonnage varies,
each, vessel from 300 to 1,000 and upwards. Of these, one
firm, whose establishment is at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, fur-
nishes nine vessels (five of them being above 1,000 tons cash,
and which collectively amount to 7,150 tons). Another firm
in London sends out five ships (of these three carry above 1,000
tons, and the five collectively 4,850 tons). Included in the
above list of the commercial fleet are the following line of packet
and mail packet vessels :—The regular packet for Australia,
the Australian line of packet for Sydney, the Australian mail-
packet for Sydney to convey the mail, the Sydney Royal mail-
packet and the overland mail, which leave England once a
month. The ships employed in this trade, as declared
in Lloyd's List, give au amount of above 35,000 re-
gistered tons. The following are the names of the

MURDER.—We have been informed that an atro-
cious case of murder was perpetrated at the village of Loch-
gilphead on Thursday last. So far as we have learned, an
unmarried man, named Peter Campbell, a schoolmaster there,
who lived in the same house with his mother and aunt, assaulted
his relatives on the day in question, and with a razor almost
severed the head of his aunt from her body, from which death,
of course, resulted instantaneously. The infuriated man was
in the act of murdering his mother, when her screams attracted
the notice of Mr. M'Millan, of the Stag Inn, who burst open
the door, and with a stick knocked the razor from Campbell's
hand, aid secured him. The poor woman is severely cut
about the face, neck, and arms, and is dangerously ill. The
man, regarding whose insanity there can be little doubt, has
bean taken to Inverary gaol.—Glasgow Herald.
LOCUSTS.-13o1s1ilAy, Nov. 29.—A few days back
we had a visit from a flight of locusts ; they did not, however,
settle, but passing over the hat boor took an easterly direction;
they were several hundred feet above the earth, and appeared
like a dense cloud floating in the air. From the space of time
the RIMS occupied in passing, it is imagined they must have
extended at least ten miles. Sometime in last month a large
body of these insects alighted in the Deecan, about 150 miles
from Bombay, consuming the vegetation for miles round.
Many of the superstitious natives are apprehensive this visita•
tion is the forerunner of a famine or scarcity. Had they made
their appearance before the monsoon there might have been
some cause for alarm, but now, all the crops are housed, and a
most abundant supply of every kind of grain secured, so that
it is difficult to understand why they thiuk so.

To avoid all mistakes, this is what has occurred :—The public
dancers had the right, from a very distant period, of appearing
on the stage in exceedingly thin clothing. This became at
last so scandalous, that the authorities had ordered the dancers
of the Apollo Theatre to dress more decently. This change
was not to the taste of the public, and, both in and out of the
theatre, some quarrels took place between the citizens and the
military. Some persons were arrested, awl oilier was then
restored."
