THE ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR

FREE-TRADE HALL.

In our last, we gave the receipts of the first three
days at this bazaar. On Saturday it was honoured with
several visits of a remarkable character. In the after-
noon, upwards of nine hundred workpeople of Messrs.
John Bright and Brothers, Rochdale, had a holiday
given them by their employers. A special train con-
veyed them to Manchester, and the firm gave them free
admission to the bazaar. They walked in procession,
headed by a band of music, through the streets from the
railway station to the Free-trade Hall, where they pro-
menaded with great delight for some time, observing
the greatest order and decorum, and most of them
making small purchases, chiefly of maul articles.
During the afternoon, a still larger body of the work-
people of Mr. John Whittaker and Sons, of Hurst, we
believe about twelve hundred in number, entered the
b.z tar, and remained theta for some time, much de-
light: d with what they saw, and many of them making
trifline purchases at the stalls. About a quarter- past
one o'clock, as previou,ly announced, Preece Hiles', son
and heir of the Imeum of 14uskat, attended by two of
his officers, Saad Abdah and Hamaid Abdah, and also
by Captain Cogan and the interpreter, Assaad Kay-at,
entered the Free-trade Hall, and the Prince was loudly
he.reil. Ile was received by Mr. George Wilson, the
Chairman of the League, and Mr. R. R. Moore, who
conducted him to the platform that he might see the
Hall; and these gentlemen subsequently conducted him
round the Hall, that his Highness might inspect the
various stens. Mrs. Cobden, Mrs. George Wilson, and
Mrs. Thomas Woolley were introduced to his Highness;
and at one of the stalls Mr. George Wilson presented
to his acceptance a very large and magnificent knife,
a sort of chef-d'ciuvre of Sheffield manufacture, worth
&bout .25/., which his Highness much admired and cor-
dially accepted. The Prince and his two officers signed
their names in a book at one of the stalls, the Prince
writing his name in Persian characters (we believe)
' tldai Saad;" the other two names we have already
given. The orientals all wore their Eastern costume ;
the Prince, from some religious feelings, wearing a
dress without any display of magnificence; his turban
was of white cotton, He is apparently about thirty-
four or thirty-five years of age, his countenance and
manners interesting, and his features and conversation,
especially his interrogatories, put through the interpre-
ter,
displayed considerable intelligence and acuteness.
Ilis officers followed him at a respectful distance, and
they carried richly-ornamented scymitars or swords.
His Highness remained about an hour in the bazaar,
during which time the Mayor and Mayoress were intro-
duced to him; also Mr. Cobden, and Mr. G. R. Porter, of
the Beard of Trade, who has been:for some days on a
visit to the town and neighbourhood. During the visit
of the Prince the bazaar w.s thronged with curious
visitors. The receipts of Saturday were, at the doors,
!8/. 35.; stalls, 339/. 18s. 10d.; total, 398 L Is. 10d.
On Monday there was a still larger influx of visitors,
781. rp. being received at the doirs, and 269/. 19e. 4d. at
the stalls; total, 348/. 4d.. making the total receipts
of the five days 1,9341 18s. 6d. Yesterday the receipts
at the doors were 841. Gs , and at the stalls 3821. 2.. ;
together making the receipts of the sixth and last day
468/. 8.. ; and the total aggregate receipts of the six
days 2,401/. 6e. 6d. We understand that there still re-
main articles unsold worth 1,400/. or 1,500/., and that it
is intended to dispose of them by rattle or otherwise, in
about a fortnight.—Manchester- Gua, dice.

INCREASE OF ATTORNEYS.—According to the Offi-
cial list published by the authority of the members of the Law
stitution, it appears that 179 prrsons have given notice of intend-
ing to apply during the ensuing Michaelmas term to be admitted as
attorneys to practice in the several Courts at Westminster.

ARREARS OF BUSINESS IN THE COITUT OF QUEEN'S
EENClL—Notwithstanding the exertions made by the judges of
this Court, and the extension of their sittings under Lord
Denman's Act in Banco, the special business of the Court is
still greatly in arrear ; according to the list made out and
corrected for the ensuing term, it appears there are 122
rules for new trials standing for argument, one of which was
moved for in Michaelmas Term, 1943, and the same list also
contains the names of seven causes, in which rules for new
trials had been granted, but are waiting the judgment of
the Court ; one, the Corporation of Colchester v. Brooke, being
slated so long back as Michaelmas Term, 1842. The special paper
is also heavy, there being 53 special cases and demurrers in addi-
tion to the enlarged rules. On the Crown side there are 32 en-
larged rules, and 19 cases in the Crown paper; the arrear of busi-
ness at Nisi Prius, both in London and Middlesex, is, however,
comparatively light; in the Courts of Exchequer and Common
Pleas, the arrears of business, particularly the latter, so far as the
causes, numerically may be considered, as compared with the
Queen's Bench, is trifling.

GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE, OCT. 21.—Notwith-
standing the fall in prices here, the accounts from Liverpool
state the prices as higher, with increased firmness. Sales
were inside here to-day at 87s. 61, although there appear to
be few sellers at this price. Many holders are willing to quit
at 90s. We quote 89s. cash as the price of the day.—Glasgow
National.

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.—We insert the fol-
lowing, communicated from a quarter on which we can
rely, in the hope the prey, rb may once more be realised. An
Englishman, an old resident in this town, who has been ac-
customed to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, and was
consequently found in situations sometimes for the better and
sometimes for the worse, has, from adverse fortune, seen the
last extreire of the latter, and is now in ourjail. It appears
that he was arrested on Friday last by a tradesman of the
town (likewise an Englishman) for 385 francs, the costs in an
action some time since decided between the parties. Under-
slanling that his creditor would accept 100 francs in full of all
demands, if he could raise the money, he applied to a French
gentleman in the Upper Town (and gentleman he is, as hum
theds can testify) who having heard his tale immediately
praented him with the needful. Pleased beyond description
he hastened to his creditor to tell the happy news. Judge of his
I eelings when the latter insisted on his full demand. Ihe poor
loan returned heavy hearted to his kind protector, explained
that his assistance .vas of no avail, returned the 100 fr., and
went to prison. We have heard much of French tradesmen
persecuting their English debtors. but after this, " the less
said the batter."—Boulogne Gazette.
ACCIDENT AT T, IDA 1.E.--A fatal accident OC -
curred on TLursday night. last to a man named Benjamin Nicholls,
who was engag‘Al in the rat of Messrs. Wagstaff and Skidmore
(where the late dreadful explosion occurred), in getting coal.
The cause of death, a very frequent one in the mines of South
Staffordshire, was a portion of coal giving way in the working in
which Nicholls WIS engaged, which buried him underneath, by
crushed, and died of the injuries he re-
which he was dreadfully
ceived. An ir.quest was held before George Hinchliffe, Esq.,
Coroner, when it appeared that no blame was attached to any one
connected with the management of the pit, and the jury returned
a verdict of " Accidental death. "—Worcestershire Chronicle.
PRICE OF BREAD IN EDINBUEGIL—According to
the avi rage price of wheat in the Edinburgh market, the four pound
Laf is :.ow sold at eightpence-hatfpenny ready money, or if paid
within a month ; and nirepence credit. Flour, 3s. 4d. per stone.
The magistrates have issued a proclamation, enjoining upon all
bakers and others to weigh the bread sold by them before their
customers. The authorities have also warned the parties that, in
case of neglect, they are liable to the statutory penalty of 40s.
ACCIDE!,T AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—An
ACC]-
dent of a somewhat alarming character, but, happily, not attended
with any very serious consequences, occurred the other day at
Buckingham Palace. While some of the workmen who are em-
p•loyed in erecting a stone staircase, to lead to the Queen's private
apartments, were lowering a large stone, one of of the ropes gave
way, when the former, with its immense weight, was precipitated
t‘pon the structure beneath, an _l completely crushed-it.
FoRGERY BY A YouTu.—A boy, fifteen years of
age, was comm.tted from Greenwich Police-court on Wednesday
charged with having forged two cheques for 15/. and 20/. in the
name of the firm, 'Major and Wallace, on Messrs. Barclay's bank.
house, where they had been cashed. The principal evidence
against the prisoner was a letter written to his brother-in-law
from Maidstone gaol, in reply to one upbraiding him for his con.
duct. In that letter Collins admitted having forced open a drawer
and got possession of a blank cheque-book, and filled in the two
cheques. The prisoner was apprentice to Mr. Lindells, of Bridge.
court, Fleet street. the prisoner's brother.in.law is clerk to
Messrs. Major and Wallace, and the prisoner lived in his house,
and by this means had opportunity of imitating the signature of
the firm.

SYMPTOMS OF REACTION.—From the rumours so
industriously circulated by some of our contemporaries, it would
appear as if no deposits were in future to be paid, and that every
railway prospectus was based on fraud and nourished on pecula-
sisn. But how stands the fact ? The cry of want of money,
the audaciOus assertion that no deposits would in fis-
sure be paid, was refuted by the fact, that never was
greater anxiety evinced to be in time, than yesterday. Thecrowds
at the vatinus banks between four and five o'clock were unpara.
lel et'; the anxiety depicted on every countenance showed how
much they feared being ton late. And these proceedings show
that the malignant influence attempted to be exercised has no per.
manent influence on the market. —The Shareholder.

FIRE AT P(ALT-DUNDAS GLASSWORKS. ^ On
Thursday.forenoOn, a tire occurred at these extensive works,
which might have been of very serious c tnsequeuces, but for
the prompt mid energetic assistance afforded by the fire-bri-
;gad-, whic't was speedily on the spot, and, aided by the
'workmen, succeed in preventing the flames from extending
to the Cottl-r.-ht,uscs, works, and warel.ous':s, confining its
ravages wholly to the crown-glass house, lately erected, the
roof of which was entirely destroyed. The works are in-
• bured in the Sun Fire Oifice, and the loss may be estimated
at 5001. This occurrence is the more to be regretted, as it
deprives of employment far a time a numerous body of
.vorkmen, besides interrupting an important branch of ma-
nufacture, the establishment of which has been now, for the
first time, attempted in Glasgow.— Glasgow National
THE EQUITY AND TtIE LAW COURTS.—TIIO lists
of arrears of the several equity and common law C)urts have
as yet not been exiaibted. Iduisiness will be commenced on
Monday week, on e commencement of Michaelmas term.

Judges ct the Court of Chancery amount to 33,000/. ; of those
•of the Court of Queen's Bench, 28,6001.; and a similar sum
for the Judges of the Court of Common of Pleas., whilst the
salaries of the Barons of the Exchequer are 27,0001• The
• highest salary is that of the Lord Chancellor, who has 10,000'.
The Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench has
the next in amount, 8000/,
which the sum paid to the
Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and the Chief
Baron of the Exchequer has 7,000/. 'The salaries of the
Judges of the four courts amount together to 123,5771. a year
