MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY; QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bags, at steady ratesi—There was an active market for shares,
and at full prices.
The West India letters brought by the Severn steamer
were delivered at too late an hour to enable us to give any
lengthened extracts. Upon the whole it may be said
that the advises are satisfactory. True it is that
complaints were made in several of the colonies
of the extreme heat of the weather, but it very
rarely happens that all parties in the West Indies are satis-
fied, let the ,seasons be ever so favourable. The different
plantations require different weather. The labourers were
conducting themselves properly, having returned to their
work after the holidays with apparent spirits.
The only prices for the British Securities to-day have been
Consols for Money, 9814 %, and for the Account, 98% 3/4.
The premium upon Exchequer-bills is firm at 475. 495.
Mexican Stock has been in request at 32%, but Portu-
guese Four per Cents. are dull, at 60. Spanish have realised
271/8 ; the Three per Cents., 3814 ; and the Four per Cent.
Dutch, 99 and 98%.
The Share market has been brisk this morning, but there
bas not been any material variation in the prices. ihe Bris-
tol and Exeter are on the rise, as well as the Caledonians.
The Great Western are lower. The Manchester and Bir-
mingham are in demand. The Midlands have again receded,
but most of the other lines are steady.

accelerates, and multiplies communication by letter, and
renders it accessible, by the lowness of the charge, to all
classes, it is no longer possible to defer in France such an
amelioration." The same paper publishes a letter, dated
Berlin, September 10., which professes to give a " true and
faithful" account of the impression made on Queen
VICTORIA by her visit to Germany, and at the same
time asserts that it was a " coup manqué." The
Germans thought the English came for the purpose of
introducing their cottons, and her MAJESTY is said to have
been disappointed at not finding more crowned heads availing
themselves of her presence to meet together and welcome
her, and to have been mortified at her husband, Prince
ALBERT, having been prevented in some cases from occupy-
ing his place at her side, his title of Royal Highness not
being generally admitted in Germany. Her MAJESTY is
also said to have been vexed at the illiberal spirit displayed
in the case of her donation towards the fund for the comple-
tion of the Cathedral of Cologne. No Paris journal is so
often imposed upon by 'its correspondents as this official
organ. and this letter is only one proof among many others
that could be mentioned.
The KING, on Tuesday, received at the Chateau
d'Eu the Prefect of the. Seine Inferieure, the Sub-Prefect
of Dieppe, and Captain LAURENCIN, of the Navy, and
transacted business with the Minister of Finances. On the
same day the Count DE PARIS, accompanied by Gen. Baron
MARBOT and M. REONIER, visited Treport. Sir C. NAI'IER has
been residing for some days at Cherbourg, to the wonder and
amusement of the good people of that royal seaport. The
Phare of Cherbourg says :—" If there are persons who at-
tach importance to elegance of dress, it is certainly not
Admiral NAPIER, who appears to be an original. It would
be difficult to find a superior officer more ill-dressed."
We subjoin other miscellaneous extracts from the conti-
nental papers :

" The account given in a letter from Venice of a terrible accident
on a bridge between Bassano and Feltre is to a certain extent con-
firmed by a Vienna letter of the 9th. It appears that when the bridge
gave way a major, a captain, two lieutenants, and 53 privates fell
into the river. One of the lieutenants and 23 of the men were
drowned, and the major was so much injured that his life is
despaired of.
" Gaptain Guerin, the diver, who is now attempting to save the
rich cargo of the George Sand, which was wrecked off Neville, near
Cherbourg, brought up from that vessel a few days since a case, con-
taining 2,000 piastres (10.600 f.)
" The Sud of Marseilles states that the Duke de Montpensier will,
on his way home from the Levant, pay a visit to the royal family at
Naples, and arrive before the end of the month at Toulon, from
whence he will eome direct to Paris.

"It is a general notion among all who live by the seaside, that
whatever may be cast on the shore becomes the rightful property of
the first finders, but this in France is contrary to au express article in
the penal code. On the 10th of March last the Trinidad, an English
vessel, was wrecked near Etaples, on the coast of the Pas do Calais,
and her cargo, consisting of dye-woods, indigo, wool, gum, Sec., was
thrown in the beach. Part was collected by the authorities, and
part clandestinely carried off by the inhabitants of the place. Messrs.
Daire and Goumay, merchants at Amiens, were brofight before the
Correctional Tribunal of Montreuiltsur-3ler, as haying made them-
selves accomplices in this illicit appropriation of another's goods by
purchasing them, and were sentenced to two months' imprisonment,
and a fine of 500 fr. ; and their clerk, named Deblangy, to imprison-
ment for four days. An appeal was carried before the Superior Tri-
bunal at St. Omer, but the judgment has just been confirmed.
" The Bishop of Loudon confirmed forty-two young persons, in the
British Church, at Havre, on Tuesday ; his Lordship afterwards pro-
ceeded to 'Caen, to hold a confirmation there.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.
OLD COURT.

(Before the RECORDER.)

ASSAULT.—Thomas looney, aged 33, a surgeon, was found guilty of
a common assault on the person of Sarah Windle, a child of 14 years
of age.
The RECORDER said that the prisoner's profession greatly increased
in the eyes of the Court the offence which had been proved against
him, and the punishment would, in consequence, be proportionably
heavy. The sentence was, that he be imprisoned for one year in the
Westminster Bridewell, and also to enter into his own recognizance

GRAND JURY ROOM.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
In consequence of the heavy nature of the business, and the great
Xiumber of witnesses in attendance, a third Court was held yesterday,
before the Common-Sergeant, in the grand jury-room. The only
case tried there during the afternoon was the robbery at Messrs.
Debenham and Storr's sale-rooms.

Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and for the Governor

Thomas Wimbush, aged 39, • was indicted for stealing a casket, a
snuff-box. a watch, a quantity of doubloons, value 3001., the
property of William Brunifitt Storr and Robert Debenham, in their
dwelling-house.
Messrs. Wilde and Ballantine were retained for the defence, and
Messrs. Clarkson and Bodkin condncted the prosecution.
Mr. CLARKSON made a statement of the case to the jury.
Mr. Walker was then examined by Mr. Bongtsi—He stated that
he is a wa,chmaker, residing at No. 40, Princes-street, Leicester-
square. The watch produced is one of his manufacture, and has his
name on it. It was made three or four years ago. When the watch
left his hands it had his address on it. That address is not on it now.
It has been effaced by some means. The rest of his evidence was
the same as given before the magistrate.
Mr. Bullock, an artist, residing at No. 8, Bruton-street, Berkeley-
square, stated that he purchased the watch two or three years ago
from the last witness. Has since had occasion to raise money on it,
and he therefore got it pledged at Fleming's, a pawnbroker, in St.
Martin's-lane. Witness did not pay the interest on the watch, and
when the year expired the watch was forfeited.
William Boor, an assistant at the pawnbroker's, stated that he
remembers the watch being pledged at his mistress's shop. He did
not take it in himself, but it was pledged while he was present. He
took down a description of it, and that description corresponds with
the watch produced, except that the address has since been erased.,
Henry Richardson stated that he is a picture-dealer. He remem-
bers going to see-some articles at Dcbenham and Storr's. lie remem-
bers looking at a watch. Witness afterwards went to Mr. Walker to
inquire if he was the maker of the watch. Witnesss afterwards in-
formed Mr. Walker of the loss of the watch.
James Cloudy stated, that he Is a clerk of Messrs. Pierce, the
army-clothiers. Has known the prisoner for twenty years. Has
purchased a watch ftom him, but cannot say when he did so. He
was not satisfied with the watch, and applied to the prisoner, who
gave him another in exchange. Witness was under the impression
that he received that watch in June or July, in 1844, but the prisoner
in a memorandum of some transactions, stated the watch to have
been given in May. The watch was after that in the possession of
the prisoner to have a new spring. It remained with him for about
a fortnight. After that, witness happened to be passing down
Princes-street when he saw the name of Walker over a watchmaker's
shop. Thinking that by chance he might be the maker of the watch,
he entered the shop, and asked Mr. Walker if he could repair it. Mr.
Walker on looking at the watch, said that it had been stolen, and
i informed witness that he should go with him down to Debenham and
Storr's. . . .

Lady and Miss Duncan left. Farrance's Hotel, Belgrave•

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, SEPT. 19.

GRAND ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON MATCH FOR 1,0001.

Peter Spiller stated that he is foreman to Messrs. Debenham and
Storr. In the mouth of April, 1844, there was a sale which lasted for
three days--viz., the 16th, 17th, and 18th. Amongst the articles for sale
were some portions of property from Miss Fleming's. There was a gold
watch, numbered in the catalogue, 575. There was also a golden
casket, weighing about thirty-one ounces, and a quantity of doubloons.
That property was all right on Tuesday. At half-past twelve o'clock
on Wednesday witness found that the casket was missing. The
casket was placed at the end of the sale-room farthest from the door.
The other articles were in glass cases behind the counter. The
counter was passed by a sort of trap-door, which lifted up. Those
parties frequenting the room who were known to be respectable men
were allowed behind the counter to inspect the articles in the glass
cases. The prisoner was present at the sale before twelve o'clock.
He was in the habit of attending the sales, and was allowed behind
the counter. Witness saw the prisoner at the glass case where the
watch was placed. The watch was in the possession of witness
between nine and ten o'clock on the morning of the robbery. The
prisoner, when he heard of the robbery, was one of the parties who
offered to be searched. The robbery must have been effected by
more than one person. There was no other watch like the one pro-
duced in the sale on that day. There were a great many persons in
the room at the time.

This match between the Duke of Marlborough's yacht and Mr.
Henry Hope's has terminated most unsatisfactory. Every one thought
them mad to start in such weather but they had not calculated on
their so soon giving in ; they rounded the Nab under the sail they
started with, namely, two storm trysails, fore-staysail and storm-jib,
and attempted to beat down channel against the southwest gale,
when off Ventnor the Wyvern sprung her jibboom, bore up and run
into Shanklin bay, and reached Cowes at 11.30 P.M. yesterday ; the
Zeph) retta continued on for a short time, then gave in, and run for
Portsmouth, having sustained considerable damage, considering the
tonnage of these vessels (about 200 each). How they were equipped
and manned they ought to have been equal to any weather, and for
the credit of their builders we should hope they are; but we guess we
have seen some fruit schooners that would not have put back. The
match is now at an end, and the money has been drawn, or this would
have been. a fine day .for the start; the weather has set in
fine,. the barometer .which was yesterday 28.97. is now 29.57.
.The Duke had four gentlemen from Woodstock, enjoying them-
selves in aquatics—two of them farmers, one his land steward, the
other a Dr. Palmer ; they, as they had been sailing in the yacht, could
not withstand the temptation of this trip to the Fddystone, or were
persuaded into it. We will not attempt to write their description of
what they saw and felt in their struggle with the gale, as we under-
stand they intend to publish their voyages and "travels on their
return home. The part they have told has created great mirth
among their hearers, and we doubt very much if they will ever
again. be tempted on board of a yacht engaged in a sailing match.

By Mr. BALLANTINz—There might have been as many as forty
dealers. Had known the prisoner for some time. He is in the
habit of frequenting the sales and making purchases. There are
many persons who live by that means. Articles of this description
are passed Prom one dealer to another with a very small increase of
profit. The prisoner attended the sales as usual after the robbery.
buying and selling articles as he had previously done.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
OPENING OF THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS LINE.

Yesterday the Tunbridge Wells line, a new tributary to the traffic
of the South-Eastern Railway, was opened by the Directors of that
Company, who started by special train from the Bricklayers' Anns
station at eleven o'clock, accompanied by several of the Share-
holders. Amongst the Company were Mr. M'Gregor, of Liverpool,
Chairman of the Directors ; Lord Viscount Torrington, General
?Haley, the Inspector-General ; Mr. Peter Barlow, the resident en-
gineer ; Captain O'Brien, Mr. Adcock, and others. At Tunbridge
another special train was in readiness for the experimental trip over
the newly-formed line, which is a curiosity in railway construction,
from the fact of its being commenced twelve months before the Act was
obtained, and of its being complete within a few weeks from re-
ceiving the royal imprimature in last session. Its completion
places Kent and the metropolis in possession of a direct and
delightful summer rendezvous. The line is five miles long,
and intersects the headings of the ancient iron-works of the
country. • At present it is on;y open to the temporary station
at Jackwood's spring, about a quarter of a mile from Tunbridge
Wells. The permanent station will be in the centre of the town, and
is approached by a tunnel 800 yards long, under a portion of it. The
works to the temporary station have been heavy, there having been
half a million yards of earthwork or cuttings, chiefly in rock. There
is also a tunnel of a quarter of a mile near Lomer-hill Park. The
line was commenced in July, 1844, as a single line ; and in April,
1845, it was determined to make it double. The cost to Jackwood's
Spring, including land, has been 100,0001. ; and the extension into
Tunbridge Wells will be 80,0001. more. The line passes near Lomer-
hill Park, the residence or mansion of James Alexander, Esq., and
near Colebrook Park, the residence of Benjamin Smith, Esq. An
elegant viaduct, 254 yards in length, with 30 arches, carries the
line over Powder Mill Valley. Mr. Hoof has been the contractor for
the Works, and they have been carried out under the engineering of
Mr. Barlow, son of the professor. The whole line was flocked with
spectators welcoming the first locomotive to Tunbridge, and as the
whistle echoed back the welcome, the military band at the station
struck up " See the conquering Hero comes."
Several free train trips took place during the day between Tun-
bridge and Maidstone, giving an opportunity to the inhabitants of
experiencing gratuitously the first fruits and effects of those facilities
which the newly opened line is calculated to confer upon Tunbridge.
During the day the labourers were substantially regaled, and the
Directors and their friends sat down to a sumptuous entertainment at
the Sussex Hotel.

Mr. John Sturt stated that he is a clerk 'in the employment of
Messrs. Debenham and Storr. Remembers the robbery at the sale-
rooms. On the following morning witness was in the office ; the
prisoner was also there. Witness received directions to go round to
all the bullion dealers in the city, and inform them of the rob-
bery, and caution them as to purchasing property of this nature_.
It was a quarter to one o'clock when witness received these di-
rections. In consequence of the instructions he received he left
the office, and was proceeding down Bedford-street, when ho was
followed by the prisoner, who asked him where he was going to?
Witness replied, " Into the City." The prisoner then inquired
if he had dined ; and on witness saying that he had not, he proposed
that they should dine together, and afterwards go into the City, when
he (prisoner) would inform him of the best places to give informa-
tion, and of those places where his information was useless. Witness
accompanied him to Maiden-lane, and they dined together. In the
course of conversation at dinner the prisoner said that he believed in-
spector Pearce was the officer employed by the house. Witness re-
marked his manner as he said this, and from further circumstances
his suspicions were aroused, and he excused himself on some pre-
tence, and returned by a roundabout way to his master's office. On
reaching the door of the sale-rooms he was surprised to see the pri-
soner already there. Witness went up to him, and the prisoner in-
quired what occasioned his return ? Witness said that he had for-
gotten something, and then made a communication to Mr: Deben-
ham. On coming out he found the prisoner there, and on stating
that he was about to go round to the bullion-dealers, the prisoner
proposed that lie should accompany him to the Blue Boar, in 1101-
born, to see his wife off' to Bedford. Witness went as far as the
Blue Boar, and then excusing himself, he went round to the bullion-
dealers. _ .

Edward Collingridge stated that he resides at Clerkenwell, and is a
gilder and a refiner. Witness purchased some gold from the prisoner
in April, 1844. It was in the form of what is called a skillet, or fiat
piece of metal. The simple furnace of a common jeweller would be
amply sufficient to melt such a quantity of gold. It weighed 11 oz.
14dwts. Witness gave hint 141. 4s. 3d. for it. He never dealt with

the prisoner on so large a scale before.
William Pocock, an officer, stated that he took the prisoner into
custody, He told him that it was for the robbery at Debeilham and
Storr's, and mentioned the circumstance of his having sold the watch.
The prisoner said that he bought it at a sale at Robins's, in Covent-
garden.
Mr. Robins was called. He produced the catologues of his sales
since April, 1844, and no such watch was sold by him.
Mr. BALLAICTINI addressed the jury in defence, and called several

witnesses, who gave the prisoner an excellent character.
After deliberating an hour and a half, the jury returned into
court with a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended the pri-
soner to mercy.
The COMMON SERGEANT said that it was his intention to transport
the prisoner, but in consequence of the recommendation of the jury,
the sentence was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in
the House of Correction for two years.

CITY REGISTRATION.—In some of the papers of
this morning it is stated that 249 Liberals and 154 Tories were ex-
punged yesterday from the list. The reverse Is the fact-249 Tories
and 154 Liberals are the real numbers, thus giving an advantage of
95 on the Livery lists alone to the Reform party.
DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN IN THE
REGENT'S PAaa.,Last night an. Inquest was held by Mr. Mills, De-
puty Coroner for Middlesex, In the Board-room of St. Marylebone
Workhouse, on view of the body of a gentleman, apparently between
50 and 60 years of age, presumed to be a foreigner, who committed
suicide in the Regent's-park by shooting himself, under the following
circumstances :—The first witness .examined was police-constable
Harris, D 112, who stated that about three o'clock yesterday morn-
ing he was on duty in Sussex-place, Regent's-park, when he heard
the report of firearms. lle immediately repaired to the spot whence
the sound proceeded, and • discovered the deceased lying against the
iron railings which inclose the ornamental water, blood issuing from
his mouth, and apparently lifeless. Ile spraug his rattle, and sergeant
Granger responding to the alarm, witness ran for Mr. Guy, surgeon,
Upper Baker-street, who returned with him, and declared deceased to
be dead. Deceased was on his back on the ground, and the Angers of
his right oand were partially bent, and within two Inches of a pocket
pistol, which had only evidently recently been discharged. De-
ceased's hat and wig (black) were by his side. Witness
assisted in carrying him to the workhouse, where he has as yet not
been identified. The witness here described the dress worn by
deceased, as also the property found on him, which were as follows :
—A braided top brown coat, with beneath an olive-brown dress-
coat,, a silk white, yellow, and black vest, a chocolate-coloured
scarf, black trousers, and socks, with Wellington boots, a silk hat,
maker's name " Dedent, Paris;" linen shirt, initials in pink silk,
"E. 11., No. I." On his person was a gold watch (Lessine, maker),
a gold pin enamel top, four small steel keys, and a pistol loaded to the
muzzle, and which, on comparison, proved to be the fellow one to
that which had been discharged. The pistols were quite new, but no
name on them, and every article which deceased wore also seemed to
be new and of foreign texture. In his waistcoat pockets there was
found a purse of green, red, and white silk, and a mother-of-pearl
eye-glass, with eight shillings and fourpence in silver. Sergeant
Granger, 2t 21, gave corroborative testimony, adding that deceased
was five feet ten inches in height, of very muscular frame, grey eye-
brows, and very nearly bald. To give time for publicity to be given
to the melancholy catastrophe and the identification of the body,
the inquiry was adjourned till seven o'clock on Wednesday evening
next.

R. L. Sheil, Esq., ALP., and family, left South-
ampton yesterday, for Madeira, in the West India stacm-paeket, the
Tweed.

ARTESIAN WELLS IN TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.—Yes-
terday workmen commenced laying down a main from the reservoirs
in Orange-street, to supply the adjacent St. George's barracks, from
whence another main will be carried across St. James's Park to
Buckingham Palace. This will complete the whole intended supply
of buildings and offices connected with the Government, by which a
very considerable saving will be effected. The supply of water con-
tinues undiminished, 500 gallons being raised per minute, which, by a
few additional strokes of the engine, is raised to 800 gallons. Whilst
this large supply is obtained, none of the wells or springs of the neigh-
bourhood have become exhausted or dry, as was anticipated.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE ADELPHI THEATRE.
—On Thursday evening the attention of the audience of the Adelphi
Theatre was for a moment engrossed by a loud scream from a re-
spectably attired female in the pit, who was forthwith carried out
of the theatre in a state of insensibility, and was promptly at-
tended by a surgeon, who, finding that she had taken poison,
directed her immediate removal to Charing-ems Hospital,
where it was ascertained that she had swallowed a small quan-
tity of the oil of Edmonds. A half-ounce phial, nearly full of
the poison, was found in her possession, but she cou'd not have
taken more than two or three drops. Her friends who were with
her in the theatre, and with whom she resided in Duke-street,
Adelphi, followed her to the hospital. It appeared that her name
was Elizabeth Millington, aged eighteen, but nothing could be as-
certained as to her possession of the poison. She possesses great
personal attractions, and unrequited love is stated to have been the
cause of the somewhat peculiar but rash attempt she made at self-
destruction. She remains at the above institution, in an extremely
weak state of body, from the powerful effect of the poison.
INCENDIARISM AT THE LODGE OF WILLIAM
EIISFEILD, ESQ., M.P.—Yesterday information was forwarded to the
Metropolitan and City Police that, on the night of the I ith instant,
some vile incendiary set fire to the lodge of William Busfeild, Esq., of
Upwood, near East Morton, in the parish of Bingley. The flames
were, however, fortunately discovered before its demolition took
place. But what could have induced the parties to have eommitted
such a diabolical act is a matter of great surprise, as Mr. Busfeild is
stated to be much respected by his tenantry and those with whom he
is acquainted. A reward of 201. is offered for the apprehension and
conviction of the offender or offenders.

EAST SURREY REGISTRATION.—Mr. Fish sat yes-
terday at the Vestry-hall, Camberwell, to revise the lists of Christ-
church, Newington, and some other parishes. Mr. E. Meymott at-
tended as the Conservative agent, and Mr. R. Russell, Mr. Jeans,
and Mr. Davis appeared on behalf of the Liberals. The vote of the
Earl of Eldon was objected to, on the ground that he was a Peer.
The objection was allowed by the Revising Barrister, and notice was
given of an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas, in order to have
the case fully tried. •

SALE OF AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY.—Yesterday
at the Auction Mart, the Lifton estate, with its mansion, park, plan-
tations, and fisheries, was offered for public competition by Messrs.
Hoggart and Co., and attracted the notice of many large capitalists.
It is situated near Launceston, Cornwall, and comprised about 4,580
acres, returning an income of about 8,7001. per annum. It contained
several large farms, varying from 30 to 200 acres, and above. After
much competition, the sum finally offered for it was 209,5001., but at
which it was stated to have been bought in.

THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—
Considerable fears are entertained by the inhabitants of Windsor,
that it is in contemplation to close the State apartments at the Castle,
at no very distant period, in consequence of that magnificent suite of
rooms being required for the occupation of her Majesty and the
Prince Consort, and the infant royal fatuity. These fears have been
occasioned chiefly by an announcement, from authority, to the effect
that the office of State Housekeeper is to be aboltahed, that Lady
Mary Fox is to have compensation granted to her for the loss of
" housekeeper's fees," and that these apartments, fir the future, are
to be placed under the custody of the Lord Chamberlain. Only five
of the State apartments, out of the thirteen, have been shown to
visitors for several mouths. Six have been entirely closed for up,
wards of a year; while the throne and bag rooms have been Merely
shown by the visitors proceeding through a portion of them between
a roped passage. It is stated that when the new arrangements come
into effect, the public will still be enabled to view these apartments,
upon obtaining a ticket from the Lord Chamberlain.
PROOF OF IDENTITY.—Those who have attended in
London for the purpose of signing the Parliamentary contract of
railway companies, are aware Hint some eViden:x that TheYreally are
the persons they profess to be is required. A little time since, the
identity of a gentleman from Banbury being questioned, he, not
having about hint such documents as in other cases had been satis-
factory, at length, irritated by the, expressed doubt, offered, as a last
resort, to produce the tail of his shirt, on which his name at fall leno4
might be nil

DEATH OF THE COUNTESS CADOGAN.—We regret
to learn that Countess Cadogan died at Wiesbaden on Friday, the
12th instant, the Countess having resorted to that spa with the view
of benefiting her health, which, during the previous six months,
had become extremely impaired. The deceased Countess was fourth
daughter of Mr. Joseph Blake, of Ardfry, and consequently sister of
the first Lord Wallscourt, and aunt of the preseht lord. Her lady-
ship married the Earl Cadogan on the 4th of April, 1810, and leaves
issue, Viscount Chelsea, M.P., Ladies Augusta rand Honoria Cado-
gan, the Hon. Captain George and Hop. Fred. Wm. Cadogan.
BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES FOR THE POOR.—The
Association for Promoting Cleanliness amongst the Poor have pub-
lished their first quarter's report, from which it appears that the num-
ber of poor persons who bathed and washed their clothes at the
asylum in Glasshouse-street was 13,422, being on the average more
than 1,000 a•week. Of these 6,318 bathed, and 7,104 washed their
clothes, The number of articles washed was 61,585. The bathers
consisted of 2,389 English, 3,643 Irish, 161 Scotch, 52 Welsh and 73
foreigners. The Association affords its accommodation gratuitously,
and is dependent on subscriptions (which are received by Messrs.
Williams, Deacon, and Co., Birchin-lane) for its support. The
expense averages within a very trifling fraction of I)4d. per head.
Two baths and six wash-tubs, for the use of those who choose to pay
2d. for a warm-bath, and Id. an hour for the use of a tub, and the
drying closet, have lately been added.
