The recent melancholy events which have disturbed the
Diocese of Exeter, and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily
settled, have largely contributed to establish the necessity for a Free
Episcopal Church:

THE WARWICKSHIRE COL-
LIERIES.
At several of these collieriea the workmen have within
the last week given notice for an advance in their wages, in
consequence of the great rise in the price of iron and coals in
the adjoining
county of Stafford, and where an advance of
wages has been given to all the workmen. In consequence
of the above notice being given, the proprietor of the Craven
Colliery, in the Warwickshire district, after regaling his
workmen with a good supply of beef and good old ale, ad-
dressed them as follows :
" kly good Workmen,—lt is at such a meeting as this that
a reciprocal good understanding can be maintained between
the employer and employed, and was the trade in such a state
that I could meet you more frequently, it would afford me
much pleasure. I have been informed, and I know it to be
correct, that at some of the neighbouring collieries notice has
been given for an advance of wages, and I must allow you
richly deserve it. I well know the dangers you have to con-
tend with, and also the hard and slavish work you have to go
through. But at the name time, I beg to give you and the
neighbouring workmen some advice before you go too far in
giving notice. Although I know it is not your intention to
give nie notice at present, and I am glad you have thought
better than to do eo, for before workmen give notice to their
employer for a rise of wages, they should well consider whe-
ther their employers are in a situation to do so. I must here
remind you of that unfortunate year 1842, when the whole of
the colliers in this district struck for an advance of wages,
which entailed a good deal of suffering upon many poor
workmen, and which they have scarcely recovered from yet.
You all found out it was not ih the power of your masters to
better your condition, in consequence of the low price of coals,
and Which is the case now. The trade generally throughout
England, in 1842, rigs in ae depreesed a state, that it would
have been impolitic to raise tit? price of coals; but now
it is quite different, and in my opinion, the state of trade
will allow of an advance, and you who have the
great danger of getting the coals are entitled to a ;
better remuneration for your labour. But in doingthir, great
care must be taken In the coal trade in this district—for an

NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR.-
The Cotitiell of the Leikite having determined upon holding
a Bazaar in the Theatre Royal CoVent-gallica:l, Ltfittitiil; JD aid of the
One Hundred Thousand Pounds Fund, beg to announce that it Will
OPEN on Tnuasnkr, May 8, for exhibition, and that on the succeed-
ing 31olubt,Y, the 12th of 114, the sale of articles will commence.
Dlally Of the large manufacturing towns having Intimated that they
Intend to furnish their stalls with articles illustrative of their staple
manufacture, such contlibUtions will not be removed at the period of
sale, but remain on view till the close of the Bazaar,
Contributions may be forwarded, from the 15th of April to the Ist
of May, addressed to George Wilson, Esq., Chairman, at the Theatre
Royal Covent-garden, London, where all the requisite arrangements
will be made thr their reception.
As the inquiry is repeatedly made as to whether the articles sent to
the Bazaar should have the prices affixed by the contributors, or by
the COllnnittee of Management in London, it is respectfully requested
that, wherever practicable, the contributors themselves will affix
their own prices to the articles according to the known cost of the
raw materials, and the additional value given by the labour subse-
quently expended upon them.
Upon application, the Council will be happy to forward to any of
the Local Committees, or individuals, who are preparing contribu-
tions, labels, on which may be placed the description of the article—
the price—and the name of the contributor.
The Council also would earnestly urge upon their friends in the
smaller towns and rural districts, where, from a variety of causes, it
may not be practicable to obtain contributions in the shape of manu-
factured goods, or articles of taste or fancy, that efforts should be
made to collect money contributions, and forward them before the Ist
of May, as Bazaar purses in aid of the League Fund.
Such of the Local Committees as intend to furnish a stall, are
earnestly recommend to communicate with the Council without delay.
Full particulars of the general arrangements will appear shortly.
By order of the Council,

A Bonus in ready money, at the rate of 15 per cent. on the pre-
miums received (equivalent to a reversionary bonus of about 30
per cent.) was declared in May, 1842, on all beneficial policies on
whick three annual premiums had been paid in the December
previous.

advance in the price of coals here, without a corresponding
one in the adjoining counties of Derby, Leicester, and Not-
tingham, would have the effect of taking the trade from you,
and giving it to them, which would of course be very himu.
rious to your employers as well as yourselves. Bat if the
coal-owners in those counties would consent to a rise of coals,
it would better the Condition of their workmen as well as
you. I think the day is close at hand when this will be the
case, for I am glad to tell you that the greater part of the
coal-owners of this district had a meeting this week, to
take into consideration an advance in the price of coals,
and also to better you in a rise of wages; and for that
purpose a deputation, of which I am one, was appointed
to see the coal-owners In the above counties, and in a
short time we shall be able to give you further infor-
mation on the subject. But Ido sincerely hope that the
other colliers in this district will take the same view of the
subject that you have taken, and continue at their work
until the coal-owners can get an advance, to enable them to
assist you. You must also bear in mind that the masters
have been selling coals at much lower prices than at the
time your wages were lowered aikpence a day. But take say
advice, keep to your wurk. I will use every effort in my
power to get an advance. The moment I sell the first ton of
coal at a higher price, you shall have the advance of wages."
The whole of the men thanked their employer for the
manner in which he had expressed himself towards them,
and promised to continue their work, leaving their case en.
tirely in his hands.—Coventry Herald.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE,

A young man, named Robert 1114 Lai en, was brought
before the Lord Mayor, charged under the following
circumstances by the Solicitor to the Customs, a gentle-
man from whose office attended to prosecute :
Wm. Deckfurd Gray, of No. 32, Fenchurch-street,
merchant's clerk, stated that in December, 1840, he
was clerk to Messrs. Hall, M`Garel, and Co. In Decem-
ber of that year he was directed to get cleared six cases
of champagne wine, marked H., M‘G., and Co., by the
Menai, from Calais, and he directed the prisoner to do
the business. After the champagne was cleared, wit-
ness called for the prisoner's account, which was accord-
ingly handed to him, and amounted to 144 9s. The
duty charged was 124 2s. 9d. Witness paid the amount
to the prisoner from the money of Messrs. Hall and Co.
Witness was afterwards called upon by Mr. Coucher, an
officer of the Customs, for the duties, and he looked for
and found the account. _ _

ROYAL CANDLES-PERFECTED.
These Candles are perfected—no objection now exists. Yes ;
Royal Candles, and their positive superiority is established I
Numerous Imitators have always arisen ; and certainly their Imita-
tions have some resemblance to ordinary Composite Candles—
" But Composite and Rubbish have had tiseir day,
And Royal Candles will henceforth lead the way."
A pure white flame ! They snuff themselves, are hard as alabaster,
purer than wax, glossy as glass, and cheap as common Candles, is
'their true character. "Their equal is unknown—their superior will
never come."
All Imitation Candles kept on show, that the Public may see their
inferiority to Royal Candles, only Is. per lb. (the genuine to be had
only), at CLARK'S DEPOT, 447, West Strand. Please write down
the address.

'LEICESTER and BIRMINGHAM RAIL.
ILAI WAY, with a BRANCH to the LEICESTER and SWAN
NINGTON RAILWAY.

Mr. Ed. Coucher, a searcher of the port of London,
stated that he had been investigating certain vouchers of
goods, and he called upon. Messrs. Hall, to inquire about
the duty paid on the 4th of December, 1340, upon six
cases of wine, imported by the Menai, and-cleared by the
prisoner. The entry upon which the duty was paid was
71. 2s. 6d., and in the blue-book it was entered, in the
writing of the prisoner, as follows:
Menai, British ship, H M C, Is. 6d., Phillips ,a Calais 14
Prime—Six cases twenty gallons French wine, in
common glass bottles, reported quarts, duty 7/. 3s. 6d.
4th December, 1840. M. Heyward C.
Wm. Dickson.

Capital, 400,0001., in 20,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit, 1/. 2s. per share.
Provisionally registered under 7 and 8 Vic., c. 110.
This Railway is projected to give a direct line of communication
between Leicester and Birmingham, and across the country from
east to wtst, in connexion with the Midland, Syston, and Peter-
borough, and the_Gloucester. and Bristol Railways.
It will also, by means of the Trent Valley and Churnet Valley
Railways, open a direct communication between Leicester and the
South-Eastern Districts, and Manchester, Liverpool, and Ireland.
It will also accommodate the important local traffic between Lei-
seater and Birmingham, including the intermediate towns of Hhich-
ley, Nuneaton, and AtherstoLe, a district containing a population
of upwards of 40,000, chiefly engaged in manufactures ; and open a
communication with the extensive and valuable mines of Coal and
Ironstone in the Oldbury and Ansley fields, hitherto rendered almost
useless for want of the means of transit.
In addition to this local traffic, this line will have the great advan-
tage, through its branch, of extending and securing the valuable Coal
traffic arising on the Swinnington and Leicester Railway, opening a
direct communication along the Midland Railway with the southern
markets.

The prisoner said there was a port entry, and ho had
the entry of it in his book. There was, be observed, no
difficulty about it, he was quite satisfied.
The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday, but the
Lord Mayor intimated his willingness to take bail for
the prisoner's appearance to the amount of 2001.

The main line will save a distance of ten miles between Leicester
and Birmingham.

The length of the main line, which this Company proposes to
construct, is eighteen miles, and the branch line eight miles. The
main line is Intended to commence by a junction with the Midland
Counties Railway at the Broughton Astley Station, and passing near
to the towns of Hinckley and Nuneaton, to unite with the Trent
Valley Railway at the latter town, 'and proceed along the same to
near the town of Atlierstone, and from thence to the Birmingham
and Derby Railway, forming a Junction therewith at the Whittacre
Station. The branch line will commence at the Broughton Astley
Station, and terminate by a junction with the Swannington and
Leicester Railway, near to Desford.
_ _

It Is confidently anticipated that this project will receive the sup-
port and sanction of the several Railway Companies affected by the
proposed lines.

- The names of the Provisional Committee, together with a Mil pro.
spectus, will be published in a few days.
Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Provisional Di.
rectors, at the Office of the Solicitor, S. S. Baxter, Esq., Atherstone,
Warwickshire.
