DEFRIES'S DRY METERS ha%, successfully
stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the off Hal authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, the Queer's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many-
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, axd 'which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gaS consumers who study ecotiotny and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Deffies's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on applicatlian (or will he f rwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

THE CHURCH RIOTS at EXETER

CORRESPONDENCE.
S. Sidweirs, Jan. 18, 1845.

Dear Mr. Mayor,—You are aware that last Sunday,
as I came from church, I was assailed in a very disor-
derly manner, by a mob, which had assembled at the
churchyard gate. As it .is not impossible that there
may
.he an attempt at a repetition of such proceedings
to-morrow, I thought it right to inform you, in order
that you may take such steps as will insure the peace of
the city. —Your obedient servant,
FRANCIS COU IZTENAY.
The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exeter.

Bradninch-place, Jan. 18, 1845.
Dear Sir,—Some rumours have reached me, an.-1 these
have been retailed, as I. am told, by.the Western Times,
that an attempt will be made to-morrow to create s dia.
turbance not only at St.
.Sid.w el I's, but at St. Paul's.
As the minister of the latter parish, I write to inform,
You of 'this threatened disturbance, that you may take
such measures for the preservation of peace as You may
think proper. I fear nothing in the morning, but in the
afternoon and evening services I think some watchful-i.
ness will be required, not only to-morrow, but for some
Sundays following.--Believe me. yours faithfully,
.• JOHN ARMSTRONG.
The Right'Wersiti.pful the Mayor of Exeter.

Guildhall, Exeter, Jan. 21, 1845.

My Lord,—On Saturday I received letters 'from the
Rev. John Armstrong and the Rev. Franeis Courtenay,
intimating that they expected there would be disturb-
ances io thwir several parishes on the following day, anti
requesting me to take measures for the preservation of
the peace. Accordingly, the whole or the day police,
with a large additional force of constables, were on duty.
After the morning service in St. Sidwell's, Mr. Courte-
nay was met at the churchyard ~.ate by a large mob of
persons, and upwards of 600 followed him with occa-
sional hisses and groans till he had reached his residence
on Southernhay. In the afternoon, notwithstanding
pouring rain, more than 2,000 persons assembled in the
same disorderly way, and with increased violence dese-
crated the Sabbath. The police behaved with the
greatest temper and circumspection, and effectually
protected Mr. Court;!nay from any personal injury, al
though at one time, near the Old London Inn, the rush
as so great as almost to overpower them. In the even-
ing, Dr. COleridge, who preached at St. Sidwell's in his
surplice, was also assailed by a formidable mob on his
quitting the church.
Hitherto the police has been able to prevent personal
violence, and every possible endeavour shall be used for
the preservation of the peace ; but it is impossible to say
what serious consequences may ensue upon a repetition
of such unlawful proceedings.
I felt it to he my duty, with the concurrence of the
magistrates who have assisted me, to give your Lord-
ship this information ; and respectfully to inquire if
your Lordship can recomment% any measures to prevent
/he cause of such disorderly assemblies. —I have the
honour to be, your Lordship's faithful and obedient
servant, EDWARD WOOLMER, Mayor.
The Bishop of Exeter.
N.B. There was no disturbance in the parish of St. Paul.

Tuesday Evening, Jan. 21, 1845.
My Lord,—Since I had the honour of addreseing
your Lordship this morning on the subject of the un-
happy disturbances in this city on Sunday last, I have
received a requisition, signed. as you will perceive, by a
most respectable and influential portion of the inhabi-
tants of Exeter—an authentic copy of which requisition
I enclose for your Lordship's consideration.
Having already detailed to your Lordship an account-
of the disturbed state of the eity on Sunday last, I have
only to add my prayer to that of the requisitionists, that
your Lordship will interfere to prevent a repetition of
those disgraceful scenes.—l have the honour to be, your
Lordship's faithful and obedient servant,
EDWARD WOOLLIER, Mayor.
Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Exeter.
