SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
ehemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixed metals is
entirely extracted—resist.ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is drily
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of ins New Plate since its introduction. C. 'XV.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extr:me durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &e.
tcc., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so that acids do not aticct it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can he engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only he told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

It appeare I that the deceased, Daniel Cox, was a person
greatly addicted to drink, especially when it could be procured
without money; he s' as a man of about sixty years of age,
and debilitated by hit intemperate habits. Still he frequented
public-houses, annoying the guests by his entreaties fur drink,
who, according to one of the witnesses, sometimes en-
deavoured to correct this propensity by giving the unfor-
tunate man portions of his beloved beverage into which
various disagreeable ingredients had been infused. On
the 3d of May he went to the house of Mary Scotney, the
Cross Keys, at flawtrey, All Saints, about six o'clock in
the morning. He was then quite sober. He drank several
pints of beer, in some of which it is probable salts were in-
fused, as, accotding to the evidence of a very unwilling wit-
ness, Mary Sentney's servant, one or two ounces of salts had
been in the cupboard shortly before the day in question, which
were missing on the day, and the absence of which was nut
otherwise accounted for. The prisoners Stanyon and Ash-
bridge came into the house in the course of the morning, and
Stanyon left the house about I I o'clo k, and returned with tsvii
ounces of salts ,s hich he had purchased at a neighbouring drug-
gist's. He, in Mary Scotney's presence, mixed each of these
in half a pint of beer, and gave the infusion to the decea ed,
who, after some demur at the nauseousness of the taste, drank
it up. He was soon afterwards taken'very ill, and on the evening
of the next day died. The medical evidence proved that, al-
though the body of the deceased, upon inspection, appeared
greatly debilitated by age and the irregular habits of his life,
the immediate cause of death was diarrhoea caused by the salts.
Under the direction of the Learned JUDGE the Jury ac-
quitted Ashbridge, and fornd Stanyon Guilty, who, in conse-
quence of the very high character he had borne, was sentenced
to be imprisoned for a fortnight only.
With this case concluded the assizes at Huntingdon, and
the Learned Judges proceeded to Cambridge, where, in the
evening, the Commission was opened. Here (at Cambridge)
there are about 15 prisoners for trial, and the civil business ►s
likely to be heavy.

MONEY MARKET and CIT Y NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS TEAT.

CITY. TI7ESDAY EVENING.

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is Si per male, which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 36/, and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25 50, it follows
that gold is 0.54 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Ilamburgh the price of gold is 430 per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101/2d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 7/, and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 9, it
follows that gold is 0.69 per cent. dearer in London than in
liamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London is 107/
per cent., and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows • that the ex-
ch,nge is 2.07 per cent. against England. But the quoted
exchange at New York, being for bills at 60 days' sight, the
interest must be deducted from the above difference.

By the official returns published by the Customs the exports
of the precious metals to foreign and colonial parts for the
week ending Thursday last, was as under, viz :
Ounces.
Silver coin to Calcutta 132,800
Silver coin to Launeeston
Silver coin to Bombay 4,100
Silver bars to Bombay 20,609
Silver bars to Calcutta
Gold coin to Calcutta
A moderate amount of business was done to-day in the
foreign exchanges. The rates upon Amsterdam and Paris re-
mained the same as last post, and on Hamburgh there was
again an advance in the price.
The St. Katharine Dock Company to-day declared a dividend
of 2i per cent. for the hall-year ending the sth instant, making
a reasonable allowance for the payment of the Income-tax. It
was stated that the business of the dock had, as' compared 'with
the former six months, participated to the extent of ten per
cent, in the general increase of shipping entered into the port
of London. The return setting forth this showed that the in-
crease in British shipping which has entered the port of London
is 220, with 36,000 tonnage, while there is a decrease of 84
foreign chips. with 2,750 tonnage: thus making the rust in-
crease 136 ships, with 33,250 tonnage.
The dividend due this day on the American Life Insurance
anal Trust Company debentures has not been provided. These
bonds, which of course have a preference over the shares, were
introduced into London by various parties besides Mr. Jandon
and Mr. Daer, the Vice-President of the Company; but the
London agents, Messrs. Prescott, Grote, and Co., have not re-
ceived a line by the last packet to account for the neglect. It
is more than probable, tint such has been the profligate ex.
penditure of the Company's capital on speculations in stock and
worthless mortgages, that there are no returns to pay the bond-
holde! s their interest.

him the major part of the small sums which she gained
by washing. At length, in a tit of despondency, he ac-
knowledged to her his errors, expressed his conviction
that she could live and maintain her children better with-
out him, and declared his determination to shoot himself
if she would give him enough to buy a pistol. She en-
deavoured to divert his - thoughts front this gloomy
prospect, and lead him to better resolutions. Her re-
monstrances, however, only revived his evil spirit, and
he became so outrageous that she was compelled to'resign.
to him all her little store. With part of the money he
did purchase a pistol, powder, and ball, but with the
rest he made himself completely drunk again. In
this state he went home on Saturday morning with
the pistol loaded, and instead of turning it against
himself, presented it at the head of his wife. The
poor woman _instinctively raised her hand to ward
off the blow. The savage fired, and the ball, after
passing through her hand, wounded her severely on the
forehead. The sound of the -report brought in the
neighbours, who found the poor wife extended bleeding'
and senseless on the floor.. They detained the assas.in.
and sent for the commissary of polies., who committed
him t,•) prison. The wounded wife was carried to the
hospital, where it has been ascertained that the wounds
are nut mortal, but that it, will be necessary to amputate
several of the lingers of hot. hand.

HERALD.—The market has been heavy all day, and prices
rather on the decline. The fact is attributed generally to the
intelligence said to be received by pigeon express from Paris,
of the conclusion of a treaty between Belgium and France, by
which the former should bind herself not to admit British
linens and linen yarn except on the same onerous conditions of
duties as those imposed by the recent French ordonnance,
whilst in return France consents to admit Belgian linens and
yarns on the same duties as heretofore. Belgium besides, as
,aid, is to reduce the duties on French wines and brandies.
Lord Palmerston's policy, if these accounts be true, would seem
still to persecute the country.
SUN. The upward tendency of the Funds has
been checked, by the announcement that the commercial
treaty had been concluded between France and Belgium.

lintel), after our relaxed tariff came into operation,
by which great encouragement has been to the
introduction of continental articles, and it may be
surmised that the substance of it was known, and that it
might have been a leading cause for the strong feeling
displayed by the, Government in imposing an extort
duty on coal. It is true, that large quantities
of coal exist in. Belgium and France, but
it is equally uncertain whether the quality
of 'it in either country is such as not to render
ours indispensable to their manufactures. If such he
the case, the duty to he levied on it will be so much in
favour of our weavers.

GREAT MEETIN G AT COVENTRY.
TUESDAY EvENzNo.—To-day one of the most nume-
rous meetings in this city was held in the County Hall,
for the purpose of considering the alarming. state of the
country. The hour appointed ter taking the chair was
twelve o'clock. Long before that hour an immense
number of working men assembled outside the build-
ing, and on the doors being opened, a dreadful rush
took place, and every part of the Hall was filled.
Amongst those present, were the Rer. J. Watts, Bap-
tist Minister, Mr. Edger, Mr. Bromfield, Mr. Councillor
May, Mr. Josiah Cash, Mr. J. Browett, Mr.,Hennell,
Mr. Ramsay, Mr. Carter, Mr. Osborne, Mr. Brome,
the Rev. Mr. Sibree, Mr. John Hands, Mr. Gibbin, Mr.
Stephen Knay, and others. _

In a few minutes after it was moved b`• Mr.BROWLTT.
and seconded by Mr. BROMFIELD, that Mr. C. White du
take the chair.

The motion was carried with applause, after which the
Gentleman took his seat and said, the Mayor, who had
called that meeting, was unfortunately prevented from
attending, having had urgent business with the Govern-
ment upon some local affairs. lie then read the follow-
ing requisition, to which was appended names; of - the
most respectable M4ll in the city, and which, to those who
know Coventry, will be sufficient proof of the necessity
of the case which called them out :

'• To the Worshipful the Mayor of Coventry.
" We, the undersigned, respectfully request that you
will convene a meeting of the inhabitants of Coventry,
at an early day, to take into consideration the alarming
distress prevailing throughout the country, and to deter-
mine upon the best course to pursue in the present ewer-
.geocy.

" Coventry, July 14, 15-12." (Signatures.)
" In compliance with the above respectable and. nu-
merously signed requisition, I hereby convene a meeting
of the inhabitants of this city and neighbourhood, to be
holden- at the County Hall, on Tuesday, the 19th inst.,
at twelve o'clock at 110011, to take into consideration the
subject above-mentioned.

" W. HAWKES, Mayor.
" Coventry. July 15, 1842."
The CHAIRMAN then said no man in the land could
now deny the existence of distress. The accounts from
all parts of the country showed that the distress was daily
increasing, that it was so in Coventry he and they. 'all
well knew. Last night Lord Wharneliffe said it was not
the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring in
any measures of relief. The people must, therefore, look
to themselves ; and if they would only back up the few
good and great men in the House of . Commons, they
might yet hope for relief. Ile most solemnly declared
he stood appalled at the prospect of the winter.
Mr. TsnNToN then came forward and read the follow-
inn- resolution ;—"That the appalling distress which
prevails throughout the country is rapidly consigning the
Industrious classes to the most alpet and degrading
poverty ; and, by the destrirstion of the profits of trade,
is absorbing the capital of the tradesman and manu-
facturer, and threatens to involve them in one corn-
men ruin. That the continuance of this state of
, things must speedily occasion the disorganisation of
society, and plunge the country into all. the horrors
of convulsion and anarchy." Mr. Taunton, in a
powerful address, proposed the resolution. He said
they had now arrived at a time of the most awful im-
portance. It was high time, when fierce starvation stared
them in the face—when the prattling infant had become
a burden and a curse—when every tie, sacred and divine,
was broken by the melancholy desolating poverty that
was now felt by all classes—when all this was seen and
felt, it was time to arouse themselves. Unless a thorough
complete union now took place between the middle and
working classes, beyond all doubt, there would be a dis-
organisation of society ; and he would say if such un-
heard of, unparalleled distress was to confine, there
ought to be a disorganisation.—(Cheers.) There were
many persons who said machinery was the cause of dis-
tress ; and he most sincerely deplored the system of
Luiditis n, which wcull ( 6 troy machinery. Would
they break up the railroads, and go bac': to the Nei/.
horse? Would they, in fine, dispense with all the splen-
did efforts of genius and perseverence ? No, they would •
not, they could not. It was utterly false to sae that ma-
chinery was the cause of their misery, and lie hoped that
the working classes would not allow themselves to direct
their vengeance against machiney, and in doing so please
only their bitterest enemies.
At this moment an immense crowd having arrived,
• and the building being crammed to suffocation, a cry of
adjournment was raised, upon which the multitude left
the hall, and were addressed by the speakers from one of
the side windows.
Councillor Ilitomuni.o seconded the resolution.
Not only were the weavers sufferitvg, but the watch-
makers were also in a most awful state of distress. That
class of men had never been accustomed to want, but
now they were suffering an commom with others.

The nor. Mr. WATTS moved the second resolution,
which Mr. J. Ilnowv.Tr seconded.

Mr. BrefiN EY, a Chartist, moved the next resolution,"
and pointed out the inadequacy of Sir Robert Peel's beg-
gingeLox (the charity subscription) as a means of relief
for the people. All they could get throughout England
would be 100,0001, and would that procure food for one
week ? No, it would not. The plan was only one of
hypocrisy. lie was of opinion that the Government
ought immediately -to open the ports and let in food.
That was the first step to prevent the people from dying.
He had no idea of saying that would remove all their
wants, but it would, as he had said, keep the people
from perishing ; and the plait ought, nay' must, forth-
with be adopte---(Cheers)--or the consequences- would
be appalling to contemplate. lie did not think that any
great benefit would result from the tariff ; indeed, he
firmly believed that the price of butcher's meat would
not In reduced more than one halfpenny in the pound.
The sluno would apply to sugar, and all other articles
upon which it was proposed to benefit them. It was
nothing inure than a mere farce to say that the tariff
would relieve them. They must have a real change in
the whole system ; and, although that change might
involve some trials and sacrifices, they must be met.
Labour for the industrious etas -es would •be imptusible
tinder the present system-; and unless the middle
classes joined the working classes, ruin inevitably
would come upon all. If this union did. not take place
soon, they might rely upon it the aristocracy would have
to pass through a revolution. The people-Wanted bread
hear)—and bread they would have.—(Loud
cheers.) He most sincerely implored the middle class
to come forward. No man on earth could guarantee the
pi ale of England while the people were starving.—
(Cheers.) No soldiers, no yeomanry, no police, could
save the property of the country from destruction, if
millions were to be doomed to daily starvation.
Mr. CASH, of the Society of Friends, seconded the re-
soluti,,n, which was carried.
Ilse resolution was put and carried, after which the
following important resolutions were agreed to:—
"That, as the present House of Commons have con-
tumeliously rejected the prayers of the_ people for an
abundant supply of food, and for the reform of the elec-
toral system, this meeting is of opinion that it is utterly
hopeless to expect substantial relief from that. body as

I warded to her most gracious Majesty the Queen:--

The day was exceedingly unfavourable, the rain f 11'n
torrents; but so intent were the poor fellows who had
assembled, that they stirred not during the whole time
of the addresses.

At Manchester in many of the tradesmen's windows
placards are placed, announcing f` No assessed taxes, nor
Inc""-tax paid here." Crowds of j operatives and
their families from Stockport and other_tovvns, flock a
distance of seven miles to obtain relief, in the shape of
on and food, at Manchester.
