A FAIR DAY'S WAGES FOR A
FAIR DAY'S WORK.
Bread at 4d. for a 41b. loaf.
•
Ale at 4d. per quart.
Wages, 9s. per week constant for labour.
HOW TO BRING THIS ABOUT.
Three shillings per quarter permanent duty on corn
for revenue—other food free.
Reduction of duty on Malt.
Tax on Property, and Currency a silver standard.
TIIE EFFECT.
On Land Improved agriculture and increased
consumption would compensate for
reduction in price.
On Commerce Cheap food would restore the pre-
eminence of Great Britain, and
keep labour in constant demand.
Preserve Peace and seek no Commercial Treaties—
Religion would be guarded from
the agitatating empiricism of dis-
content.
A SUBSCRIBER OF TWENTY YEARS'
Oct. 26, 1842. STANDING. *.,

CAN SUCH THINGS BE ?
SIR,--I have the King of Hanover's commands, to
express to you his Majesty's thanks for the book
transmitted by you and containing your speech at the
Conservative Festival at Maidstone. The King was
greatly pleased with the eloquent and brilliant manner
in which you had handled your subject, and has
charged me to communicate to you his approbation,
which his Majesty was only prevented by great press
of business from doing himself.—I have the honour
to remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed) ADOLPH KIELMANSEGGE.
44, Grosvenor-place, March 8, 1842.
To Sir John Croft, Bart.

It will give all admirers of true poetry gratification,
to hear that her Majesty has conferred a pension of
3001. a year upon William Wordsworth. Long may
lie live to enjoy it !
On Thursday an inquest was held in the Board-
room of Middlesex Hospital, before Mr. Walcley,
M.P., the Coroner, on the body of William Jay, aged
52 years. The deceased was in the employ of Mr.
Woolley, of
Great Tichfield.street, Marylebone,
coach-master, and had been coachman to the Hendon
and Mill-hill stage-coach, of which Mr. Woolley is
the prOprietor, for the last fourteen years. The coach
is drawn by three horses, and on Friday afternoon
last, as the deceased, who was perfectly sober, was
driving at a steady pace along Southampton-street,
Holborn, the leader took _fright, at the clatter of a
cart, loaded with bars of iron, and the horses
starting off together, ran the coach against the
cras lamp-post at the corner of Southampton-
street''' and Bloomsbury-square, and upset it, the de-
ceased falling underneath, and the horses dragging
the body of the coach over him. With the assistance
of some persons on the spot they were stopped. The
deceased was immediately brought to this hospital,
having sustained a compound fracture of the tibia of
the right leg, and a dislocation of the right shoulder.
From the effects of which 'Miriam tremens was
brought on, and he died on Alrednesday morning last.
Verdict—" Accidental death." He has left a %vides
and family.
