SUNDERLAND YOUNG MEN'S

ANTI-MONOPOLY ASSOCIATION.
At a meeting of the Committee of the Metropolitan
Young MQn's Anti-Monopoly Association, held on Thurs-
day evening List, at Hart's Hotel, 159, Aldersgate-street;
Mr. White in the chair. _ _

Mr. H. Preston, Jun., (one of the Secretaries to the
Society) laid before the Committee a letter which had
been received from Mr. William Cock, of Sunderland,
stating that he and his friends were about to form a simi-
lar Association in that town, and requesting their aid and
co-operation.
Resolutions approving of the plans detailed in Mr.
Co k's letter, which contains several valuable suggestions,
having been passed, the Secretary was directed to com-
municate to him the same. The other business of the even-
ing having been disposed of, the meeting adjourned till
Thursday next.
We would wish to see the example which has thus been
so nobly set by the young men of London, Manchester,
and Sunderland followed up in other towns, more parti-
cularly in the agricultural districts, where want of infor-
mation upon the first principles of political economy
exists almost to an incredible extent.

RAILWAY MANSLAUGH.TERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Quo(' facit per alium facit per se.

-Sin„—Allow me, through your columns, to implore
Coroners' Juries to do their uttermost to protect human
lives from the diabolical negligence and nonchalance of
railway officials, of high, and low, and every degree.
Railway Directors have been expostulated with and
warnedon the subject of placing passengers between en-
gines andluggage-trains, but, for the more easy-detach-
ing of such trains as they arrive at their several stations,
these warnings have been despised and sneered at, and
nine liveS, on une occasion, have been the forfeit to Railway
Company's convenience and callousness ! I ! Now, Sir,
tell juries to punish such manslaughters by verdicts to
that effect against the Managing Directors, when persist-
ence in a given course, after warning, as in the late case,
can be " fatally" proved; and rely upon it Coroner's war-
rants and their consequences, would be worth a thousand
dcodands—l am, Sir, your constant reader,
ANTI-JUG GER NA U'r.

THE ROYAL ExcnANGE.—The amphitheatre
or pavillion, to be erected on the occasion of laying the
first stone of the new Royal Exchange by Prince Albert,
and described in the Times of Thursday, will be nearly
300 feet in circumference, 62 feet high in the centre, and
contain seats for 1,200 visitors. These scats will rise
from a platform 40 feet in diameter, of a circular form,
to increase by ten concentric rows of sittings to the dia-
meter of 100 feet. This enormous space will be roofed
with canvass, lined with scarlet and white drapery, so
as to have the appearance of a beautiful round tent of
vast dimensions, supported by a pillar in the centre, and
we understand Mr. Benjamin Edgington, of N 0.2, Duke-
street, Southwark, is now preparing it. Linder his
superintendence, with his well-known experience and
capabilities, there is every guarantee for its being securely
done, and erected in the very first style.
The readers of this paper, who may be afflicted
with jthettmatism or Gout, will find important informa-
tion relative to its cure, by perusing Bell's Life in Lon-
don, published Jan. 2, 1842.
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. —WOOLWICH
DEC. 30.-920 ILEGIMENT, OR GORDON HIGHLANDERS.
—By private letters from Dominica, dated 9th Novem-
ber last, it appears the yellow fever and black vomit had
prevailed to a '()Teat extent, and this gallant corps has
lost several officers, and a number of its best and cleverest
men. Two officers of two companies, and three ser-
geants of one company, who had been in the habit of
paying it, all fell victims in the course of one week.
Thirty-nine rank and tile had died previous to the 18th
October, and there were upwards of thirty men in the
hospital at that date. The disease having somewhat
abated, it was hoped that it would have ceased entirely,
but about the end of the month it returned with twofold
severity, and no less than fifty-two men of the garrison
became its victims, and there were a great many hopeless
cases in the hospital at the date of the latest letters.
The. village of Jurnelles (in the Eure) has been
alarmed by the appearance within it of a bear. It is be-
lieved to be**, Pra,--'—',.iarped from a menagerie recently
