STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JAN. 7.—The demand
for foreign wool this week has been steady, but without
any very great improvement having taken place in the
trade. Prices remain firm.

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JAN. 7.—The sales
of English wool this week have not been extensive.
Prices are without any alteration from the quotations of
last week.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JAN. 7.—The demand
for all kinds of long wool continues limited. Upon the
whole there is rather more inquiry last week, and prices
are firm, but not improved.—Clothing and Blanket wools
are without alteration, either in demand or price.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—II has generally happened in
former seasons, that at the commencement of a new year,
there has been some improvement in the demand for
goods. This is, however, far from being the case at
present. The markets both on Saturday and Tuesday
were as dull as the few weeks previous, and with very
little prospect of any material improvement. The stocks
of goods are very low, but there is no inducement for
the manufacturers to increase their operations, as it is
impossible to get remunerating prices in the present
state of the demand. Business is very dull in the ware-
houses, both buyers and sellers being engaged in taking
stock.—Leeds Mercury.
BRADFORD WOOL MARKET, JAN. 6.--Since our last
report we cannot learn that any material change has
taken place either in demand or prices. '1 he deep stapled
wether fleeces, and matching continue most in request.
Colonial wools are still much neglected both in combing
and clothing sorts. Yarn—The inquiries for Yarns are
rather on the increase, and perhaps on the whole quite
as much done as for several weeks past, but without
any improvement in prices. Piece—We had a very
numerous attendance at our first new market in the
year, which is usually of a rather animated character.
To-day has not been so much so as we could have
wished, nor are the purchases made extensive, being in
a great measure confined to fancy goods.—Bradford
Observer.

There is little alteration since our last. Four or five
houses connected with this market have failed within
the last few days; but we believe the debts here Are,not
heavy. The demand for shipping goods is over for the
spring, and we understand the manufacturers are pro-
ceeding very cautiously. Prices remain the same.—
Leicestershire Mercury.

ANOTHER SLIP ON THE LONDON
AND CROYDON RAILWAY.

Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock,
only a few minutes after the train which left Tooley-
street at eight o'clock had passed the Newcross station,
much alarm was created by another most extensive slip
of the cutting on the southern side, near a place called
Finch's-bridge, and immediately contiguous to, or ra-
ther a continuation of, the slip which took place a short
time since. The quantity of earth which fell was im-
mense, and covered the rails on both sides for a distance
of 140 feet, and to a depth of nine feet. It is very for-
tunate that this accident occurred after the passing of
the train, or the effects might have proved as serious as
that which so recently took place on the Great Western.
There has been, however, as it is understood, a care-
ful watching of this spot for these last two months,
in consequence of several flakes of earth having fallen
at various times, from which a slip was anticipated,
though not of so alarming a character as it has
proved. A communication was instantly forwarded to
Mr. Gregory, the resident engineer, who lost no
time in repairing to the spot, and was shortly followed
by Mr. Wilkinson, the Chairman, and Mr. Cubitt, the
Consulting Engineer of the Company ; no less than 600
men were set to work, and with the aid of a quantity
of earth waggons every exertion was made in en-
deavouring to remove the soil to a place near New-
cross. In the course of the day the number of men was
increased to 1,000, and a platform was erected, which-
is to be covered with an awning, and is for the pur-
pose of conveying the passengers over the slip to the
trains, which will be on that part of • the line free
from obstruction ; the effect of this will be to
prevent the closing of the line, and enable the seve-
ral passengers to proceed on their journey without
being detained longer than ten minutes. Gullies are being
formed, but it will be impossible to have the line pro-
perly cleared for upwards of a month. The soil is of a
very pervious nature, composed of strata of blue clay,
gravel, shells, ochre, &c., and it is supposed that the re-
cent numerous alternations of wet and dry, frost and
snow, have tended to destroy the adhesion of these various
substances.

HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—
We learn from a source on which unquestionable reli-
ance can be placed, that the arrival of his Majesty the
King of Prussia may not be expected before the 20th
instant, and as that potentate is the especial guest of her
Majesty, Buckingham Palace and Windsor ,Castle will be
the abodes of that Sovereign during his Majesty's visit
in this country. On his Majesty landing at Woolwich he
will be escorted by a troop of the Royal Horse Guards to
Buckingham Palace, where apartments are already or-
dered for the reception
.of his Majesty and Suite. His
Excellency Chevalier Bunsen has, in consequerwe of his
Royal Master's visit, taken the elegant mansion of Lord

IMPORTANT MEETING OF WOOL-

LEN MANUFACTURERS AT BATH.

On Wednesday last an important meeting of the ma-
nufacturers of the Counties of Gloucester, Wilts, and
Somerset, took place at the White Hart Hotel, Bath, at
twelve o'clock, to take into consideration the effect of the
present Corn-laws on the foreign and home trade in the
woollen manufacture in the above counties ; and to take
such proceedings thereon, either by memorial to the Go-
vernment, or petitions to the Legislature, as the Meeting
may think desirable.

Pushurs, of Melksham, was unanimously called
to the Chair. Amongst the gentlemen present were the
following manufacturers connected with the three coun
ties :—Somersetshire--I\tr. -William Gee, Freshford ; Mr.
Wood, Frome ; Mr. Brittain, ditto; Mr. Houston, ditto;
Mr. Brown, Chard. Gloucestershire--Mr. Charles Stan-
ton, Stroud; Mr. N. S. Marling. Stanley-mill; Mr. C.
Hooper, Eastington ; Mr. T. Marling, Ebley ; Mr. S. Mar-
ling, ditto; Mr. Dutton, Wootton-under-Edge; Mr. Long,
jun., Charfield; Mr. Smith, near Stroud. Wiltshire—
Mr. J. L. Phillips, Melksham; Mr. S. Salter, Trow-
bridge; Mr. J. Gouldsmith, ditto; Mr. John Stancomb,
ditto; .Mr. J. H. Webb, ditto; Mr. Martravers, West-
bury; Mr. N. Overbury, ditto; Mr. B. Overbury, ditto;
Mr. E. Edmonds, jun., Bradford; Mr. Thomas Spack-
man, ditto; Mr. Smith, Melkshans.

The CHAIRMAN proceded to say that the meeting had
assembled for the purpose of taking into consideration
the effect of the existing Corn-laws upon the foreign and
home trade of the woollen manufacturers of Gloucester-
shire, Wiltshire, and Somersetshire. He was an advo-
cate of free intercourse with foreign nations ; and he
believed that there was an expansive principle in free
trade of which it was impossible fully to estimate the
importance. He remembered that about twenty years
ago he and his brother manufacturers met in the room
in which they were now assembled to petition against
the imposition of a duty of 6d.- per lb. on foreign
wool. The agriculturists at that time thought that,
unless that duty were imposed, they would not
be able to obtain a fair price for their wool. They snc-
ceeded in Parliament, and the duty was imposed. What
effect had the imposition of the duty on foreign wool
upon the price of English wool ? It went down from
about ls. to 6d., and at that price it remained until the
duty on foreign wool was removed.—(Hear, hear.)
Whilst the duty was in existence, the consumption of
foreign wool amounted to about nine millions of pounds
per annum, whilst lass year, with free importation, the
consumption was no less than fifty-nine millions. During
the continuance of the duty, the price of English wool
was sixpence ; and he would now state what had been
its price since that duty had been removed. It had been
from one shilling or fourteenpence up to eighteenpence,
but never less than one shilling.—(Applause.) This
afforded a striking proof of the expansive principle of
free trade. He might mention one fact to show the in-
fluence which the Corn and Provision-laws exercised upon
the manufactures of the country. A gentleman who was
now present, Mr. Salter, happening to be in Kent last
winter, was surprised to observe that large quantities of
English wool were constantly being carried down to the
coast, and upon inquiry he ascertained that the wool was
consigned to French manufacturers, who came into the
giarket and paid the grower twopence per pound more
than the English manufacturer could afford to give.—
(Hear.) Now, the English manufacturers had not the
smallest objection to the exportation of wool, provided
they were allowed to import corn.—(Great applause.)
The people of the country had the happiness to possess
political liberty, and he hoped the time would soon come
when they would also be in the enjoyment of commer-
-cial freedom.-4 Applause.) At present their hands
were tied, and they were shut out from many of the
most important markets of the world. The Americans
would willingly have paid the debt they owed us in corn,
but they were prevented by the sliding, or, as he thought
it ought rather to be called the slippery, scale. He con
eluded by calling upon the meeting to give an impartial
hearing to all who might address them.
Mr. E. EDWARDS, jun., of Bradford, moved the first
resolution :

" Resolved, 1. That this meeting feels deeply con-
vinced that the increasing depression of commerce, and
the rapid decline of the woollen trade in the counties of
Gloucester, Wilts, and Somerset, are fearfully destroy
ing capital, neutralizing skill, and pauperizing the work-
ing classes of society, thereby spreading distress and
discontent throughout the manufacturing districts of
the above counties."

From " facts," gathered from the immediate locality in
which I reside, I hesitate not for one moment in recom-
mending this resolution for your adoption. The decline
of the woollen trade, the destruction of capital, and the
distress of the labouring classes in this district, are of
so dire a nature, as will, I am sure, awaken alarm in the
minds of every one. The cry of distress has arisen from
every quarter of the land.—(Hear, hear)—but none can
show a more rapid decline than Bradford. The town of
Bradford contains, by the census of 1841, 8,309 inha-
bitants ; being an increase of ten per cent. on the popu-
lation of 1831, and about twenty per cent. on 1821.
The decrease of the manufacture of broad cloth,
which is the staple commodity of this town, is of a
nature that is almost beyond belief. In the year 1820,
or thereabouts. nineteen manufacturers carried on busi-
ness there, producing in the aggregate 620 pieces of
broad cloth per week ; the town was, at that period, in
a happy and prosperous state—l means as regards the
labouring population—every family had employment,
- and their wages were good ; 15s. per week was- the
usual price of a man's labour, whilst weavers and other
artisans earned still higher wages. The contrast now is
of such a nature as is fearful to contemplate, and such
as I almost hesitate to declare. The manufacturers
have diminished to two in number, and the quantity
produced to 100 pieces, or one-sixth of the quantity
made twenty years ago.----(llear, hear.) Of the
nineteen manufacturers who then flourished, nine, or
one-half, have failed, five have declined business from
want of success, one has merged into another establish-
ment, and two only at present exist, whose united pro-
duce is scarce 100 pieces.—(Hear, hear.) This change
has not been the effect of any sudden convulsion : it has
been slow and gradual, one after the other have dropped
away. In the year 1838, when I had occasion to refer
to the quantity then manufactured, I found it to be 144
pieces ; since then another reduction has occurred, which
brings it to less than 100 pieces. I need scarcely add,
that depreciation in the value of property of every de-
scription, except land, has suffered in a like propor-
tion. I will mention one or two instances : a factory
and premises, let twenty years ago for 1,2001. per
annum, is now rented at 3001. per annum ; another
property of the same kind, which was let on lease of
twenty-one years, at 3501. per annum, on which 2,000/.
has since been expended, making, say 4501. per
annum, is now partially occupied at 601. per annum ;
the other part having been for years unoccupied.—
(Hear, hear.) I addressed two letters to gentlemen who
are large owners of cottage property, requesting to be
furnished with a return of the rentals of ten cottages in
1820 and 1840; the first return showed the ten cottages
in 1820 produced a net rental of 90.'. 18s. ; in 1840 a net
rental of 201, per annum ; the second, 60/. to 12/. Every
- description of ailisanship and mechanics has decreased
in a similar way. Do if there has been a decrease
or cessation in the man;: factures of the town of
Bradford, and a depreciation in the value of pro-
perty, I now come to a subjm; which has neither
decreased nor diminished, which, Lo uze language of
e
some notoriety, has increased, is increasing, a,: i ought to
be diminished—l allude to the crying distresz of its
labouring population. The numbers have irterc.ased,
as I before stated, some twenty per cent. since 1821, ant:
ten per cent. since 1831 ; but their means of subsistence
have diminished in a ratio which baffles my powers of
calculation; I will, however, give yon the result of cer-
tain inquiries I have made on the subject. In the dis-
trict of the parish of Bradford, which contains 8,309
inhabitants, there are 462 looms; of these 316 are entirely
out of work, 135 partly in work, and eleven are in full
• , work ; you can easily calculate, if 316 looms are- out
of work, how many individuals in the other branches of
manufactures are out of employ : my own calculation
is, that 1,082 individuals are represented by the 316
looms, who are wholly without the means of obtaining
a livelihood, save the scanty pittance of parochial relief ;
but scanty as that pittance is, it is magnificence and
luxury compared with what many of the inhabitants of
this unfurtunate town have to subsist on. I have made
a strict investigation and analysis of the quantity of meat
and bread consumed by the said population, 8,309. I
have been as minute as possible, and can pledge myself
that it is more accurate than statistical tables generally
are, and have been subjected to the revision of the most
competent persons, and this is the result :—ln the 13
weeks from October 1, to December 31, 1841, the ave-
rage weekly consumption of the 8,309, was 9,497 lbs. of
meat, and 9,437 quartern loaves ; now out of this popu-
lation there are 6,0001b5., consumed by 2,490 persons,
4091bs are also consumed in the union workhouse per
week, making 6,4091b5. to be deducted from the9,497lbs of
meat killed, and leaving 3,0881b5. for the consump-
tion of 5,909 persons, which amounts to Boz. sdr. per
head per week ; the bread and flour consumed during
the same period amount to 9,437 quartern loaves per
week, or 790 z. per head per week. I have made
this calculation to compare with the dietary of the Union
workhouse, and if England has rung with-alarm at the
severity of the new Poor-law, what will be said when
we compare the magnitude of the provisions of the new
Poor'law with that of the subsistence of the labouring
poor out of the house ? The dietary of the Bradford
Union is 13340 z. meat per week ; the labouring popula-
tion of Bradford are *loomed to Boz. sdr., or say about
1340 z. The dietary of the Bradford Union allows
112 oz, to the able-bodied pauper within the walls of a
workhoute, as the minimum that can support nature ; the
commerce and the agriculture of this noble land doom
its labourer to 790 z., being as nearly as possible two-
thirds of the allowance to the person who was heretofere
deemed too wretched when he had to seek for relief
from the parish officer. In the year 1820, the quantity
of Meat and bread consumed in this place was four times
as much as at present, which, with the less population
existing at that period, makes as nearly as possible five
times as much per head to each individual.—(Hear.)
- Mr. SAMUEL S. MARLING, of Stroud, in seconding the
resolution, said, without detaining the meeting with any
observations of a general character, he would at once
proceed to lay before them some information which he
had collected respecting the state of the neighbourhood
in which he resided—namely, Stroud. Before doing so,
however, perhaps he might be excused for stating one
fact connected with the imposition of the duty of Gd. per
pound on foreign wool, to which the Chairman had ad-
verted. In consequence of the imposition of that duty
wool accumulated in Germany to a great extent, until at
length, being unable to find any vent for it, the Germans
were compelled to become manufacturers themselves, and
that was the origin of the woollen manufactures of Ger-
where cloth was now made which
many and Belgium,
used formerly to be supplied from the valleys of Glou-
cestershire.—(Applause.) Mr. Marling then communi-
cated the following statistical information respecting the
L manufacturing Condition of the county of Gloucester :
I In CHALFORP, since 1831, there has been a decrease
in the number of occupied mills of twelve.

'STROUD (including Chalford and Painswick) showed
a decrease of thirty-seven.
ULEY of four-fifths, having only one mill at work.
WorroN—a decrease of nine.
DuasLEv.—A decrease of mills at work.

" The number of looms employed in the six parishes of
['ley, King Stanley, Leonard Stanley, Stonehouse Rand-
wick, and Stroud, obtained by actual survey showed a
decrease of 653 power-looms during the last ten years.
In the county of Gloucester, in the same space of time,
a decrease of 1,667.

,
" Of the number of yards of cloth made in the county
~f• Gloucester during the last ten years the decrease was
825,342.
" The number of manufacturers in the county of Glou-
cester have decreased from 80 to 42.
" The number who have failed since 1831 is 50.
" Average of the estimated reduction in the purchase
of articles of grocery and plain apparel by the manufac-
turing operatives, supplied by the shopkeepers, 40 per
cent. during the past five years."
He begged pardon for having entered into such dry
.letails ; but he thought facts of this description were
important,—(Hear.) He held in his hand a specimen of
a stripe made in Germany for the China market. Compar-
ing the article with our own manufacture, the latter cer-
tainly appeared superior, but not so much so as to induce
a preference to be given to it if the price was much
higher. The German article could be sold for from
4s. 4d. to 4s. 6d., whilst the English ono could not be
sold for less than from 4s. 9d. to ss.—(Hear, hear.) In
conclusion, he hoped the manufacturers would never
give up the agitation of the question until the Corn-laws
should be altogether removed from the statute-book. He
considered that the agriculturists would be as much
benefited as the manufacturers by the repeal of the Corn-
laws, and in corroboration of that opinion he begged to
read an extract from a letter which he had received from
an agriculturist, Mr. Smith, of Uley, which was as
follows : " Uley, Dec. 31, 1841.
" In reply to your letter of the 27th inst., making in-
quiries relative to the trade of Uley, I beg to state that
upwards of 1,000 persons have moved off since the de-
cline of the woollen trade here, some to the Canadas and
some to Australia, but chiefly to the United States of
America, so that house property is scarcely worth hav-•
ing at the price of conveyance. , I know an instance
where a person built some very substantial houses since
1820, which cost'hini upwards of 1,100/., and this year
has been obliged to give them up to the mortgagee for
2001. on them, and he is now receiving parochial relief.
" A considerable number of cottages were built by
persons employed in the manufactures, who had saved
a little money, but nearly the whole of them have been
given up to creditors. I have lately heard of eleven cot-
tages having been sold, with one half acre of land, for 1201.
" I could multiply instances of this sort, but these will
suffice as samples of this sort of property in our parish.
`• The number of mills employed in the woollen trade
in our parish as under:—ln 1831, five ; in 1841, one:
" Comparative value of mills, in 1831, 42,000/. ; in
1841, 3,200/.

" Gross rental of employed mills, in 1831, 2,9701. ; in
1841, 701.

" Estimated number of looms employed, in 1831, 410 ;
in 1841, 12.

" The amount in the pound paid for poor•rates as
under:—ln 1836, ss. 10d. in the pound on the valuation;
in 1837, Bs. 4d. ditto ; in 1838, 10s. 10d. ditto ; in
1839, 12s. 6d. ditto ; in 1840, 14s. 2d. ditto ; in 1841,
15s. sd. ditto.

" The loss of trade here appears to have carried away
all the spirit and energy of the people, so that little is
thought of but how they can get their daily bread.
" I am almost as dependent on agriculture as on
trade ; but I see that if we get good prices for our
cheese, we shall be compelled to pay it back in poor-
rates. " SAMUEL SMITH."

Mr. MATRAVERS said that before the resolution was
put to the meeting, he wished to communicate the fol-
lowing information respecting the state of the population
of Westbury :—" The population of Westbury is partly
agricultural and partly manufacturing. The manufac-
turing part have been much helped, owing to many
having allotment land ; but with this kid they are suf-
fering the greatest privations of comfort. Although
comparatively few have applied for parochial relief, a
few statistical accounts will confirm this. The average
money earned by many respectable weavers having only
one loom,has been only five to six shillings per week. In the
parish the unemployed looms are 354. No power-looms.
The pawnbroker's shop is full. He says he has twice
as many articles as he had five or six years ago, and
the poor cannot redeem, nor can he sell them. His
business is at a stand with the poor, as they have
pledged all that they have to pawn ; but the class
above them are now taking their places. A respectable
shopkeeper, who depended mostly on the poor for cus-
tom, says his trade is not half what it was when bread
was low, say 1836."
Col. Goa LANGTON, M.P., said he had always been
opposed to these laws. It might not be known to some
present that he was the Member of the House of
Commons who, in 1815, opposed the motion for. the
Speaker leaving the Chair, in order that those abomin-
able laws might be taken into consideration. Many
great landowners came to him and begged him not to
divide the House upon that occasion ; but he persisted
in doing so, and he had a minority of only thirteen—just
a baker's dozen—to support him.—(Laughter and ap-
plause.)
He avowed himself to be a member of the
Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association. He would
be proud to present the petition of the meeting, as he had
been requested to do. If, unfortunately, it should be
found impossible to effect the total repeal of the Corn-
laws, he would then support Lord J. Russell's proposition
for a fixed duty of Bs.—(Applause.)
The CHAIRMAN said, before the resolution was put,
that respecting Melksham many looms have been cut
up, and the timber used for other purposes. The master
manufacturers have been reduced in this parish from
eighteen to two in the last 30 years. There are no
power-looms. Census-1831, 4.722; 1841, 5.244. Emi-
gration to America and Jamaica has lately taken place to
a small extent."

The resolution was then put, and agreed to una-
nimously.
Mr. N. OVERBURY, of Westbury, said it was his duty ,
to propose the second resolution:—" That this meeting is
fully persuaded that the evils it deplores are principally,
if not entirely, occasioned by partial legislation founded
on principles of protection, and more especially by the un-
just and oppressive effect of the Corn and Provision-laws."
In Germany, Prussia, and Italy, full two-thirds of the
revenue is collected from the land.—(Hear.) It should
be borne in mind that the land of Great Britain has
enormously increased in value within the last 50 years,
for on a calculation of the rental of 100 parishes in Scot-
land, it was found the rental of 1771 was 287,8241.,
whilst in 1841 it was 744,273/. Another advantage pos-
sessa by the landed interest is the horse tax, for
although the duty on agricultural horses in 1814 pro-
duced a revenue of 828,4551., yet in 1822, in consequence
of the low price of wheat, averaging 445. 7d. per quarter,
the complaints of the farmers were so great that it was
totally abolished. I might name other cases, but I
should occupy too much of your time. I will now go
to the effects of these laws, to which I mainly attri-
bute the appalling distress you have had set before you.
I will now come to the competition of foreign manufac-
turers, who have become formidable rivals to us in foreign
markets, under the fostering care of our Corn and Pro-
vision-laws ; for I cannot trace their cheaper productions
to any other cause than the lower cost of food. We have
certainly the advantage over them in our mines of coal
and iron, as well as in machinery, capital, and industry ;
but, against all these advantages, what has been the re-
sui,; ? You have heard of the distress and absolutely
alai singly diminished production of our manufacturers,
you hav-,? heard of the depreciation of mill property, and
loss of capii.:l, and yet the woollen manufacture on the
Continent is in it most flourishing condition. France,
which, a few years ago, imported scarcely any
wool from Germany, . during the past year imported
'no less than from 50,000 to 60,000 cwt. ; and in
Prussia Proper there was used, of their own and the
neighbouring growths, no less a quantity than 24 mil-
, lion pounds, being snore than what is imported to Eng-
land from the whole of Europe. There were in Prussia
woollen looms, in 1825, 22,139 ; 1834, 31,759 ; 1837,
39,7911 ; being an increase in the first nine years of .5
per cent. per annnm, and in the last three years of no
less than 84 per cent. The Prussian exports, reckoned
in lbs., were, in 1831, 8,316,972, and in 1841, no less
than 13,246,777, being an increase of nearly 45 per
cent.—(Hear, hear.) The trade of Belgium has also
increased in nearly a similar proportion, while,accord-
ing to the statement of Mr.Aldernian Bateson, of Leeds,
our exports of woollens, which in 1824 were 56e,317
pieces, were minced in 1840 to 258,962 pieces. At
the same time we are largely exporting the means
of manufacture in the shape of coal, iron, and ma-
chinery. Coals: 1822, 284,576 tens; 1835, 736,080 tons;
1839, 1,431,861 tons. Iron : 1822, 59,571 tons; 1835,
140,060 Ions; 1838, 192,211 tons ; 1839-1840, 246,583
tons. Machinery : 1831, 92,7151.; 1838, 627,4301.; Jan.
5, 1841, 593,0641. The small diminution in the latter
case was owing to an alteration of the law which allowed
the exportation of some articles prohibited before, and to
the extensive practice of smuggling small articles of
machinery. You have heard the allusion made by
the Chairman to the exportation of English wool ; I
will, therefore, give you the quantity ; from a very
small amount in 1824, when the duty of Gd. per lb.
was taken off, it rose in 1840 to the enormous amount
of 4,810,387 lbs., and remember, that this was raw
material, without a particle of labour being put upon it.
I think I need not urge you to enter your solemn pro-
test against these unrighteous laws, by giving a full,
hearty, and unanimous support to the resolution I have
been called on to propose.—(Cheers.)
Mr. C. STAUNTON, of Stroud, seconded the resolution.
The resolution was then carried all but unanimously,
only two hands being held up against it.
Mr. C. HOOPER, of Eastington, said that the past
year had been one of great depression to the manufac-
turing interest, and every person connected with it must
have had his feelings powerfully operated upon by the
distress of the Operatives. During the time he had
carried on business in the parish in which he resided, he
had seen four-fifths of the principal manufacturers go out
of the trade, and generally speaking, insolvent. In the
fiat three months of the past year he received 300 ap-
plications from operatives seeking employment, not one
of wbich he was able to comply with. Matters had long
been going on from bad to worse. During the last 15 years '
he ha seen mill property depreciated to the extent of 50
or 60 per cent. ; whilst wages had been reduced about
50 per cent. Owing to the competition amongst unem-
ployed operatives at the present moment, manufacturers
might, if so disposed, still further reduce wages. He had
no doubt he could himself save 1,5001. a year upon the
amount which he at present paid in wages ; but he
would not do so.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded with
moving the following resolution :
" That all restrictive and prohibitory duties interfering
with the free interchange of commodities, and not levied
solely for the purposes of revenue, are in principle erro;-
neous' and unjust, and in their . effects ultimately preju-
dicial to all classes of the community. That this meeting

the same time is willing and desirous that ,
tended for the protection of British manufa
be repealed, and that the just, wise, and pen,
pies of free trade should govern the entire co_
legislation of the empire."
Mr. SAMUEL SALTER, of Trowbridge, seconded th e
solution.—The resolution was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. J. STANcomnE, of Trowbridge, moved the follow-
ing resolution :—" That this meeting painfully feels that
the time is come when an effort must be made to save the
trade with which it stands connected from impending
ruin; and therefore, pledges itself to use all lawful and.
constitutional means to obtain the repeal of the Corn
and Provision-laws, and a fair and equitable adjustment
of our commercial code." Though the distress existing
in Trowbridge was not so great as that which prevailed
in the neighbouring town of Bradford, it was neverthe-
less very considerable. He concluded with moving—
" That petitions, founded on the above resolutions, he
presented to the Houses of Lords and Commons, and
that the must Honourable the Marquis of Lansdowne be
requested to present the petition to the House of Lords,
and that Col. Gore Langton be requested to present the
petition to the House of Commons."
Mr. L. Wool), of Frome, seconded the resolution, and
made some statements respecting Frome, which showed
it to have been one of the most flourishing towns in
the kingdom, but it was now fast declining.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. J. li. WEBB, of Trowbridge, said he was anxious
to propose a resolution, in addition to those alreLdy
adopted by the meeting. Ile then moved a resolution,
which directed the attention of the Government to the
distressed state of the woollen trade in the west of Eng-
land, and suggesting the propriety of making such an
alteration in the existing Corn-laws as would prevent
the speculators of Mark-lane tampering with the ave-
rages, but deprecating the granting of any protection to
the manufacturing interest, which would be injurious to
the agriculturist ; and finally expressing an opinion that
the imposition of any additional burden upon agricul-
ture would prove most detrimental to the manufacturing
interest.

Mr. W. GEE begged leave to second this resolution.
The CHAIRMAN said that, before he put the resolution
to the meeting, he considered it necessary to observe
the resolutions already adopted called for no protection
for the manufacturing interest.
The resolution was then put and negatived, only three
hands being raised in its favour.
Mr. T: MARTIN, of Stroud, moved the next resolution,
which was seconded by Mr. Baowx, of Chard, and una-
nimously agreed to.
Mr. STAUNTON, M.P., for Stroud, said he had wit-
nessed the proceedings of the meeting with great plea-
sure, and would be happy to support the prayer of the
petition.
Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meet-
ing then broke up.

MR. AINSWORTH'S NEW MISCELLANY.—
The encouragers of periodical literature will be glad to
hear that Mr. W. Harrison Ainsworth, author of " The
Tower of London," "Old Saint Paul's," and other highly
popular works, is about to publish a Magazine of his
own, in which, besides contributions from the most emi-
nent living writers, he will publish a new Romance from
his own pen, entitled " The Miser's Daughter." The
scene of this story is the Metropolis as it existed in the
days of Ilogarth—the most characteristic, stirring, and
various of all modern periods, either in costume, manners,
or the remarkable characters then moving about town.
Of the pictorial illustrations of this Romance it is suffi-
cient to say, that they will be designed and produced on
steel, in his best manner, and on a larger scale than usual,
by Mr. George Cruikshank, who will further enrich the
pages of this new Magazine' by numerous woodcuts.
Having discontinued the " Omnibus" as a monthly pub-
lication, the distinguished artist, who merits the appella-
tion of the modern Hogarth, will devote his powers in
their greatest energy to Ainsworth's Magazine.
Yesterday morning, shortly before one o'clock,
as a respectably-attired man, apparently about fifty
years of age, was coming out of Providence-row,
St. George's-in-the-East, which is a nest for pros-
titutes and other characters of the very worst descrip-
tion, he was observed by Bench, a police-sergeant on
duty near the spot, suddenly to stagger and fall heavily
on the pavement. Ile immediately went to his assist-
ance, and found him lifeless. The body was subsequently
removed to St. George's Church, and in the course of
yesterday afternoon he was identified by a female living
in Providence-row as a person named Fore, living at a
place called Melton, in Shropshire. Mr. Baker, the
Coroner, has deemed sufficient suspicion attaching to the
case to order a post mortem examination of the body
prior to holding an inquest.
We understand that Mr. Peel, an uncle of Sir
Robert Peel s, died very suddenly at Exmouth, in De-
vonshire, on Wednesday, having fallen from his chair
in a fit of apoplexy while sitting at table with his
son. The deceased gentleman was possessed of immense
wealth and is said to have died intestate. The divi-
dends accruing on his funded property for the past half
year amount to upwards of 30,0001, which were received
I yesterday by power of attorney, and it is rumoured
that he has left upwards of two millions of money.
THE INCENDIARY FIRE AT PANFIELD
HALL FARM.—A man named Samuel Richardson, has
been apprehended for setting fire to the farm property
at Panfield Hall, Essex. He was taken on Tuesday last, at
his own cottage. Whilst on his way from Panfield to
Braintree, he told Rowlett, one of the constables, that he
ell'ected his diabolical purpose with a brimstone match,
which he lighted from a tobacco pipe. Ile was com-
mitted for trial at the Quarter Sessions, where he yes-
terday pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to 15 years
transportation.—ChelmsArd Chronicle.
LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.—Yes-
terday the half-yearly meeting of the trustees, gover-
nors, and donors of this charity, which is instituted for
the support of the decayed members of the trade, their
widows, and orphans, was held at the Crown and Anchor,
Strand, to receive the report of the Governors for the
past year, and for the general business of the Asylum,
Mr. W. Adams Larby in the chair. The minutes of
the last meeting having been confirmed, Mr. Jones read
the report. The Governors congratulated the meeting
upon the increasing prosperity of the charity. One hun-
dred and thirty new subscribers were admitted, and the
receipts for the past year, including 2,014/. Bs. for sub- .
scriptions, amounted to 2,5541. Bs. 11d. and the expendi •
ture, including 615/, paid to the inmates, 2031. repaid to
Messrs. Barclay and Co., and a purchase of stock, nearly
reached the same amount. The Governors continued the
weekly payments of 7s. to couples, and of 6s. to single
inmates, of whom 74 were in receipt of those sums.
There were 101 houses inhabited in the Asylum, and only
two vacancies occurred. The report in conclusion stated
that the Board of Management had petitioned her
Majesty for an act of incorporation, that their petition
had been referred to the Privy Council, and that they
were certain of obtaining it. The report having been
adopted, the officers for the ensuing year were elected.
After which, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the
meeting broke up.
An inquest, adjourned from Friday, the 31st
ult., on the body of a man, name unknown, about thirty
years of age, terminated last evening at the Feathers,
Temple-street, Whitefriars, before Mr. Payne, the City
Coroner. The evidence proved that the body of de-
ceased was found floating in the river off the Temple-
gardens, by a waterman, on Thursday week last. The
Coroner adjourned the inquiry in hopes that the publicity
given to the case, and the exertions of the constable,
would be the means of discovering deceased's name, and
the manner in which he became drowned. There being
no further evidence to lay before the jury last evening,
the inquest was adjourned for a fortnight.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—An inquiry was
gone into yesterday, before Wm. Carter, Esq., the Coro-
ner for Surrey, at the Swallow Galley, Rotherhithe, on
the body of William Morley, a line lad, aged 11 years.
George Clarkson stated that the deceased had leave to
go into the hold of a ship building by Mr. Hawkes, of
Rotherhithe, for the purpose of collecting the stray chips.
Witness went down with him, as soon as Mr. Hawkes's
permission had been obtained, and he soon tilled his bag.

witness was but a yard from where the deceased fell, and
narrowly escaped being killed. The deceaSed had fallen
at least 19 feet, and did not live above two minutes. The
Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS'SociEry,The
forty-second annual meeting of the members of the above
Society took place on Thursday at their offices, No. 73,
Basinghall-street. Sir Chapman Marshall was called to
the chair. From the report it appeared that the number
of claimants relieved by the Society from its commence-
ment was 377 members, :t2B widows, 392 children, and
53 orphans; total, 1,150, to whom the sum of 68.9791.
Os. 4d. had been paid. On the Ist of October, 1841,
there remained on the fund 59 members, 111 widows, 28
children, and three orphans, making a total of 201. The
receipts in subscriptions, donations, the interest on stock,
and other items, amounted to 2,230/. 13s. ; and the dis-
bursements in relief to claimants and the general ex-
penses Odic Society left a balance with the bankers of
50/. 2s. 10d. The meeting then proceeded with the ap-
pointment of officers; when the following were elected :
—President, Sir Chapman Marshall ; Vice-Presidents, +
Sir Matthew Wood, Bart., M.P. ; Mr. William Thomp-
son, M.P. ; Sir John Key, Bart., Alderman ; Sir William
Henry Poland ; Sir Peter Laurie, Alderman ; Mr. Wit-
Liam Taylor Copeland, Alderman ;
._Mr. Charles Face-
brother, Alderman, and eight others. Thanks were then

Her Majesty being anxious that the poor of
Windsor should participate in the coming festivities of the
loyal Christening, has been graciously pleased to com-
mand that the sum of 350/. be paid into the hands of the
churchwardens, to be distributed on that important day in
food and clothing. The inhabitants of the town have al-
ready subscribed upwards of 2001. for time like purpose,

THE NIGER EXPEDITION.
We have this morning been favoured with the sight
rf a letter, which gives further accounts of the Niger
'expedition. Thus, we learn, that " the Albert alone
remains in the , river ; that she has but twelve white
men remaiv.:„,,i--,
besides Captain Trotter, the surgeon,
Dr. INVWliliam, and three or four other officers." Two
the Livelve men spoken of by the writer were taken
ill before his letter was closed, and an early departure
from the coast was anxiously looked for.
.educed to this state, no hope can remain with the
guest sanguine and zealous of those who yet live that
anything serviceable ran he achieved by further per-
severance in the ill-projected undertaking ; and we
trust that the sufferings and strnggles of the men who
remain, will not he prolonged is the false notion that
duty requires anything beyelld the immediate abandon-
ment el an exploit whie„'- -the early efforts of the expe-
dition, while the i:.,dividuals who composed it were
fresh in health and vigour, were incapable of accom-
plishing.
In eee..rmation of the facts contained in the letter
befors, tis, another correspondent writes that " intern-
ge'.,ce has been received that the Niger expedition has
tutome dispirited, and that the whole of the steamers
would rendezvous at Ascension on the Ist of January.
The Wilberforce, which steamer was intended to remain
in the Niger until the next season, had already arrived
at Ascension. The expedition was reported to have left
colonies up the Niger ; but what will be their fate with-
out any establishment to communicate with outside, it
is, perhaps, not difficult to foretel."
The expedition to the Niger has long since been
regarded in the maritime world as a failure and loss; and
the only useful effort that can now be made is to save as
much as possible from the wreck which has so unhappily
befallen the adventurers.—Shipping Gazette.

frnns her person.
Mr. Phillips and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner.
From, the evidence adduced, it appeared that the
prosecutrix was in the service of a gentleman residing
in Russell-square, and last Sunday evening, as she was
returning from chapel, while passing through Guild-
fbrd-street, she felt her watch pulled from her pocket.
She immediately turned round, and caught hold of a boy
who was standing close to her, and at the same moment
she observed the prisoner have some communication with
the boy, and directly afterwards he ran away. The pri-
soner was followed, and in his flight he was observed to
throw something over the inelosure in Brunswick-square.
lie was eventually taken into custody, and, upon a search
being made in the inelosure, the stolen watch was found
lying upon the ground. When the prisoner was taken
into custody, a gold watch, several rings, and other
articles of jewellery, were found in his possession.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Mr. Smith, generally known as "Boatswain Smith,"
who has been many years preaching to sailors and sol-
diers, and has by the acknowledgment of many ex-
perienced persons, done much good amongst the humbler
classes, appeared before Alderman WILSON for the pur-
pose of making an appeal to the Magistracy of the City,
on behalf of the East India and China sailors, great
numbers of whom were, he said, at the East-end in a most
wretched and neglected condition.
Alderman WILSON said that he should willingly at-
tend to any statentent, the publication of which would
be likely to lead to the redress of any grievance, the re-
sult either of accident or ignorance.
Mr. Smith said, that during the existence of the
Charter of the East India Company, the Directors had a
largo range of premises at New-road, St. George's in the
East, where all native sailors from the East Indies were
lodged, boarded, and managed by suitable officers and
efficient control and medical attendance. The Charter
having expired and free trade being established, some
thousands of native seamen were brought to this country
and left to an), chance management, and without any
fixed and suitable place of accommodation on shore.
Now, he considered that it was most uncharitable to
abandon poor men of different castes and manners to the
vicissitudes of such a place as London. There were at
present nearly five hundred men at the East India Dock,
and Basin, at Blackwell, who appeared to him to be a
mixture of eight or ten different nations from the islands
and continent of India and of China. They had been
brought to England in some of our largest Indiamen,
such as the Fort William, the Scalesby Castle, the Lord
Lowther, and the Buckinghamshire, and had been
shipped from their native climates for the service of this
country, to navigate our ships, and bring home their
valuable cargoes, when there was a deficiency of English
sailors abroad, either from deaths, desertions, mutinies,
disease, or crimp -inticement for the country trade. As
they supplied the place of our countrymen, it was no
more than common humanity to save them from perishing.
Alderman WILsoN said that those captains who
brought the foreign sailors alluded to here, were under
legal obligations to take them back
Mr. Smith said he was perfectly aware of that; but the
misery to which the unfortunate men were subjected
here, by exposure to cold, most woefully thinned. their
numbers. He had been to visit them in the wretched
sheds in which they were located last week, and a most
lamentable spectacle they presented. They came from
a very hot climate, with thin clothing, and in the depth
of winter, complete strangers to our cold damp northern
latitude ; and while Englishmen starved and died, the
victims of bleak winds and heavy rains, how much more
deplorable must be the condition of these poor creatures ?
But in addition to the natural effects of such a change of
climate, it had to be considered that there was no atten-
tion whatever paid to them beyond the ordinary pro-
vision of their serang, or boatswain, as far as could be
ascertained from actual observation and various inquiries.
Alderman WrLsoN—Do you complain that these
men are left without proper sustenance ?—Mr. Smith
said he by no means meant to say that they had no
abundance of food ; but they were literally perishing
with cold, and their cry, when he went amongst them,
was for fire and blankets. In the shed to which ho al-
luded the misery was indescribable, and in some of the
vessels where they were kept between decks in this
severe weather, their sufferings were scarcely less
severe. If such an asylum could be procured as
that which was prepared for the reception of
the houseless poor, the evil would be remedied ;
and if, through Alderman Wilson's interposition,
such an accommodation could be supplied, the poor
strangers would not have to say upon their return in
diminished numbers to their own countries that they did
not know what was the meaning of the word Christianity.
Alderman WILSON Said he felt convinced that the
merchants who derived advantage from the labours of
the Indian and Chinese sailors were not aware of their
exposure to the severities of the climate, and that when
they were informed of the fact they would give such
directions as would render any further complaint tinnes
cessary.
Mr. Smith said that the humane manner in which
dAiltindoermofantheat Wilson h.il expressed himself as to the con-
poor men, and his expectation that the
merchann would interfere, were sure to have a benefi-
cent effect. He felt assured himself thst a prompt at-
ien'sion to the suggestion and wishes of the Alderman
would save many a fellow-creature's life. He then
most heartily thanked the Alderman and retired.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Mr. Christopher Cocherton, the principal proprietor of
the, City of London Theatre, Norton Folgate, appeared
ato summons, in which he was charged with having un-
lawfully permitted and suffered a quantity of gin to be
sold on his premises, without being licensed so to do.
The charge was prosecuted by a person named Robert
Potinger, who described himself as an attorney's clerk,
livingat No. 11, Brunswick-street, Stamford-street, Black-
friars. Mr. Heritage, the solicitor, attended for the defence.
After evidence had been heard,
Mr. BINGIIABI said that no case had been made out
against the defendant. The informer had not only failed
to show that the defendant knowingly permitted the
spirits to be sold, but he had not even proved that he
was the proprietor or occupier of the premises.
The informer said that lie would have no difficulty in
completing the evidence if the Magistrate would adjourn
the case. He would summon the Clerk of the Peace to
prove the proprietorship.
Mr. BINGHAM—You ought to have been prepared
with the necessary evidence before you put the defendant
to the inconvenience and annoyance of coming here with
his witnesses. The charge is dismissed.
LAMBETII-STI?EET.
Yesterday Mr. Smith, a fashionably-dressed young
man, of gentlemanly appearance, who holds. a situation
of considerable emolument in the Harbour Master's-
office, was placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton,
and charged, on suspicion, with stealing various articles
of jewellery, ladies' wearing apparel,- and other property
belongine• to Mr. Hunter, of Greenwich.
Mr. Slims-, a solicitor, appeared on the part of the pro-
secutor, and Mr. Pelham attended for the accused.
Mr. Hunter, who is a young and respectable-looking
man, on being sworn, stated that seven years ago he
was married to Miss James, daughter of a gentleman
holding a high situation in the Harbour Master's
ofilce, and the fruits of that marriage were
three children. In tho month of May last Mrs.
Hunter loft her home, and remained away for 24
hours, and he (witness) met her and the prisoner to-
gether on Blackheath. He then called on her for an
explanation of her absence, which she promised to give
him, and said she had slept on the night before at
the house of a friend, and ho, in consequence took her
home. The prisoner had been in the habit of coming
to his (witness's) house some time previously to this,
but from some circumstances which came to his know-
ledge, he (witness) forbade him the house. In the
month of Aupst last Mrs. Hunter again left her home,
and on examining her drawers immediately after, he
missed a great variety of property, consisting of a gold
watch, articles of jewellery, and wearing apparel, and
from that time until the evening before he had not
seen her.
Cross-examined by Mr. PELHAM —You have stated
that on your wife leaving you in May last, you met her
on Blackheath, with the prisoner. Now, I wish to know
if her sister was not with her? Mr. lunter—l think
she was. My wife told me she had slept at a friend's
house, and promised to explain everything to my satis-
faction. I have since found out that she did not sleep
where she Said. On the contrary, I have no doubt I will
be able to show that she and the prisoner slept together
on that occasion; but having taken her home I did not
know how to act.
Robert Hambling, a City constable, 539, said that

The minister of Markineh was lately deploring
the sins and backsliding of this degenerate age, and, in
particular, dwelt with much emphasis on the desecration
of the Sabbath. When the congregation wss dismissed,
I stepped into a friend's house who kept a grocer's shop,
and vvliat was my surprise when the parish beadle came
in and asked for a pound of candles for a Sabbath-
school,—,Cortespondent of the Scottish Pilot.
THE ToWNSIIEND FAMILY.—.The affairs of
_g
the Townshend family hart been thoroughly discussed
during the
ed
lwd seem and from the ossip that has
a m that if the Marquis or Lord
transpired,
tp vvasotit
Charles really wished, to hate the matter decided in
the life-time of the Peer, it is not so Impossible as the
latter seems to think, Lord Charles says in his letter
or protest, " the laws of the country furnish no remedy
against the asstimption of a title of honour in the cir-
ctiffistatiM ill AA this gentiernati assumes the title
of Earl of Leicester---a title which would belong to an
eldest On Of rill" brother, the Marquis Townshend, In
case the Marquis had male issue." Now,_ this may be
very sound law as regards a Mere title of honour, but it
is altogether another affair when coupled with the as-
sulk:Aida de the heirship of broad lands. The present
M.P. for Ilodmin sits in the House of Commons ns
Batt of Leicester, and people naturally ask, Why was
ther=e iid petition against his return ; as there are
plenty of grounds for Mich it prodeeding if Lord Charles
Townshend's assertions are all fact, and his Lordship
really wished, the matter to be discussed while his bro-
ther the Marquis's testimony Was available: Again, one
would imagine that the present-styled Earl of Leicester.
could hardly occupy the station he does without hav-
ing' transacted besitiesS of carious kinds with a
great many people ; and it is fair to suppose it
would not be difficult to find one who had dealt
with his Lordship under the impresssion that be
was dealing with the heir of the Marquis. Here
then, at once is a circumstance on which an acute at-
torney would soon make a "case" sufficiently strong for
the discussiOn of the merits of the question, at artr
as fir as public opinion is concerned. However, by its.-

BANKRUPTS.

( From the London New Price Current of January 7.)
The Markets have decidedly presented an improved
appearance this week ; a good demand has existed for
all the principal articles for home consumption; shippers
have been more on the alert, and prices have been well
supported ; indeed in some cases they have improved.
Mercantile affairs are altogether looking healthy. The
favourable accounts from the manufacturing districts,
and Money being plentiful at 44d to 4d per cent., tended
greatly to improve confidence amongst mercantile men.
SUGAR—The market for British Plantation Sugar
opened quietly on Tuesday : importers were however
firm, and refused to sell excepting at prices fully equal
to those paid prior to the holidays ; higher rates have
been paid for bright yellow sorts, other kinds have fully

maintained the previous currency. St. Vincent's good
mid strong grey have been disposed of at 66s to 66s 6d ;
strong low brown of rather a dark description 59s to 60s
per cwt. To-day the merchants evinced increased firm-
ness ; the trade were disposed to operate, and for both
Jamaicaw
brown and yellow sorts the demand was good. The prices
paid are 6d per cwt. above those current previous to the
holidays. The total sales for the week are 1,700 hhds
and tierces. The market closed firmly ; the show is
small and indifferent.
REFINED.—For all descriptions of Refined Goods this
week prices have been steady, common brown lumps at
73s to 765, Patent 77s to 78s, Standard Lumps 80s 6d to
81s, Titlers common 79s to 80s, middling to good 81s
to 86s, fine 87s to 91s, Hamburgh Loaves 82s to 935,
and double 100 s to 120 s per cwt. ; there is a
fair supply. Bastards common and middling at 41s
to 465, good to fine 47s to 60s. Pieces, fine at
71s to 745, good 67s to 70s, low to middling 60s to 67s
per cwt. • Treacle has brought full rates. Golden Syrup
32s to 33s 6d, Patent 29s to 31s, and common 28s to
28s 6d. Bonded Crushed Sugar at 29s to 29s 3d
for first sort; some parties will not sell under 29s 6d per
cwt. Loaves 10 and 14 lbs at 31s 6d to 32s 6d, and
161bs 32s to 345. Treacle fallen to 12s. Bastards and
Pieces at
,14s 6d to 21s. _

THE JEWS.—Last Friday, at noon, the Jews
shaved, bathed, and adorned themselves, to prepare for
the new rear, which is, in most countries, proclaimed by
them with the sound of trumpet. Their feasts on Sa-
turday abounded with wine, meat, and sweet fruits of all
sorts. It is, we believe, not generally known, that thee
synagogue in this town is the room over the shop in the
occupation of Mr. Asbforth, opposite the Hope and
Anchor, Parliament-street. Here a few descendants of l
Abraham meet reoularly every Saturday, for devotional
exercise.—/ticifinOam Review.

Mr. Justice MATTLE said there could be no doubt that
the prisoner was a practised thief ; and it was very ne-
cessary that the public should be protected from the de-
predations of such persons. He then sentenced the pri-
soner to be transported for ten years.
Some other cases of no public interest having been dis-
posed of, the Court adjourned until the 31s1 inst.

iWOMEN AS POLITICIANS.—We well know
that the question of the political rights of women is more
thoroughly understood, and more generally recognised
among the working classes, than the rest of society.
Still we must not disguise that even they take it up with
lukewarnmers and with fear. This should not be, and
we shall do all in our power to impress upon the generous
and unprejudiced the urgent necessity of making the
rights of women as constant a theme of meditation and
examination as the rights of man ; for, we may be as-
sured that tho destinies of the two sexes are interwoven,
and that the one cannot suffer wrong without periling the
happiness of the other.—. National Association Gazette.
CHRONO-THERMAL SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.
—The Author of this system, in his " Fallacies of the
Faculty," proves
beyond question that all diseases may
be cured solely by attention to temperature. Speaking
of the " Fallacies of the Faculty," the Statesman says—
" We noticed this excellent work at some length on its
first appearance, and the speedy demand for a second
edition amply justifies our opinion of it. Dr. Dickson,
its author, has introduced a variety of important facts in
illustration of his system, which cannot fail to increase
the interest it has already excited, as well among the
medical world as the public at large. The best test of
the efficacy of the Chrono-thermal System is its unparal-
leled success." The September number of the Revue de
Versailles devotes upwards of nine columns to an analysis
.of this system, and concluded by stating, " Cette theorie
du Docteur Dickson sirnplifierait beaucoup la route qu'il
Taut suivre pour arriver a l'adoucissement des maux qui
afiligent l'espece humaine ; elle arracherait l'etre souf-
frant aux speculations harsarciCes et dangereuses ; et elle
doenevait enfin a la medecine des•regles fixes qui per•
mettraient de la considtrer des ormais comme une sci-
ence." Foreigners will be gratified to know that Messrs.
Simpkin and Marshall (the London publishers of the
" Fallacies of the Faculty") will shortly be prepared to
advertise a French translation from the pen of M. le
Marquis de Chesnel.
An order was made, on the motion of Mr. W.
H. Payn, to allow the attendance of the reporters of the
Dover newspapers at the meetings of the Council ; this
is the first step towards open Courts which have every
year been moved for by the Liberals, but invariably op-
posed by the Tories. Some of the Ultras . indeed on
this occasion opposed even the admission of the reporters.

A SIXPENCE.—" Why are you so melan-

after the battle of Blenheim. "I am thinking," replied
the man; "how much blood I have shed for sixpence."
