THE GLASS TRADE.

A deputation, consisting of the Members for Birmingham,
Mr. Nichol', Lord Sandon, Mr. Cookson, and others, waited
upon Sir Robert Peel, at the Treasury, on Saturday last, to
lay before him the injuries the glass manufelturers were cer-
tain to sustain by the suiden removal of the duties. The
deputation asked for a remission of the duty upon stocks in
hand, so as not to compel them to export ; and, secondly, they
required a temporary protecting duty upon foreign glass,
while adapting themselves to the new circumstances of the
trade. Sir Robert Peel, with whom was the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, Mr. Wood, of the Excise, and Sir George
Clerk, received the deputation with the utmost courtesy,
and listened to the remonstrance with great attention, and
in reply to the first request made by the deputation, the fol-
lowing order has been issued :
" Excise-office, March 5,1845.
" The Board hare received instructions from the Lords
Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to allow drawbacks
on glass on the following conditions :
"1. Warehouses at the cost of the manufacturers or
dealers must be provided, and being approved by the Ex-
cise, put under our lock. These warehouses to be at the
different manufactories, and .in each town where we have a
supervision.
" 2. That no glass be warehoused excepting under the
same regulations as if for export.
" 3. That no quantity of crown or German sheet glass,
less than 10 cwt., be received at the same time from any in-
dividual.

" 4. That each package be marked with the net and gross
weight, and with the name and abode of the depositor.
" 5. That the bottle on the manufacturing premises of such
of the bottle makers as require it shall be taken account of
and warehoused, or secured by the Excise.
" 6. That on the repeal of the duty on crown, German
sheet, and bottle glass, the quantities so under the Excise
locks shall be delivered to the respective owners, precautions
being taken to ascertain that such quantities correspond with
those deposited.
"7. That so soon as the re-deliveries shall be completed,
and the accounts have been examined and certified at the
head office, the owners shall receive doeunients authorising
them to claim the sums to which they would have been re-
spectively entitled by way of drawback on exportation, de-
ducting 251. per cent.
" $. That on the sth day of April the stocks of plate-glass,
whether in the rough, smoothed, or polished state, be taken ;
and on all rectangular pieces of 6 inches by 4at the least,
andinot less than 1-Bth of an inch in thickness, the sum of
Is. 10d . per square foot be allowed, and on such as is po-
lished and not 1-Bth of an inch in thickness, the sum of
4/. 4s. per cwt. ;if unpolished and under 1-Bth in thickness,
no allowance.
" A letter, containing full instructions to carry into effect
the above regulations, will be forthwith addressed to the
several supervisors. " By the Board,
" GEORGE BALLARD."
To the second request we believe no answer has yet been
given, but we rather doubt the success of the application.

FATAL WAGGON ACClDENT.—Yesterday Mr. W.
and other officers, and the Court broke up.
Carter held an inquest at the Rose and Orown, Riddlesdown,
the death of Jeremiah George Weaver,
driver of a four-horse carrier's
waggon. On Wednesday evening
aSguerdre3t;V Peernetsy, ewtilniog was the
last, about six o'clock,
whilst proceeding along the road towards Godstone from
Croydon, at a steady pace, he was stepping from the shaft of
the vehicle for the purpose of ascending a steep hill at Rid-
dlesdown, when, in consequence of the slippery state of the
road, he missed his footing, and fell under the fore wheel.
He endeavoured to save himself, but in turning round he
again fell under the hind wheel, which passed over his head,
crushing it to pieces, and causing instantaneous death. A
gentleman who witnessed the dreadful sight proved that
the occurrence was purely accidental. Verdict...." Accidental
death."
