CHARTIST MEETING AT ISLINGTON.

Yesterday evening a meeting of the Chartist of
London, numbering between 10,000 and 12,000, was
held upon Islington-green, in accordance with an an-
nouncement by placard, to the following effect :
" Awful state of the country.—A public muting
will be held on Thursday, August 16th, to take into
consideration the conduct of the authorities, in vio-
lently assaulting and firing upon an unarmed popu-
lace, whose only crime was want of food."
The readers of the daily journals will per-
ceive that this was the placard upon vviich was
based the number of summonses issued fral Bow-
street Wednesday and yesterday, terminating in or-
dering the bearers of placards to find bail for their
go Jd behaviour.
Dr. Webb took the chair amidst loud cheers, about
seven o'clock, and after exhorting the vast assemblage
to peace, law, and order, called upon
Mr. MuNTz, who proposed the first resolution, to
the following effect :—" That the meeting do memo-
rialize her Majesty, expressing its sympathy with the
men of the North, their detestation of those parties who
were the first cause of wanton massacre; and above all,
that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to re-
ward those gallant men who had grounded their arms
and refused to fire on their starving countrymen:"
The latter part of this resolution was responded to by
immense cheering, which lasted for nearly two
minutes. The speaker continued to observe that,
until latterly, it was supposed that the soldier's heart
was untouched by the sparkof patriotism, but later events
had proved that such was not the case ; they refused
to fire upon "an unarmed populace, whose only crime
was want of food." Mr. Muntz concluded a very
able address, by requesting every one present., by all
peaceful, honest, and legal means, to manifest their
sympathy for their suffering brethren in the North.

O liquidi eristalli, onde s' etingua

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,

It is a theme that could only be wrought out
by the poet, to describe the beautiful prospects
that are to be seen by the spectator, once arrived
at Mah:ern-hill. If a distant view delights, here
you may see the counties of Monmouth, Here-
timl, Radnor, Brecknock, Salop, Worcester,
Gloucester, and. Stafford, together with many
market-towns. It' you are pleased with a nearer
view, the pear-trees of Worcestershire, at this
immediate season in full bearing, furnish a rich
summer scene. On the western side the apple
trees of Herefordshire, with their purple hut',
make an agreeable variety; add to this the va-
ried ground, the beautiful but diminutive hills,
and the rich woods which improve the Here-
fordshire prospect. If to the beauty of the situa-
tion be added the salubrity and pureness of the
air, Malvern for the summer months affords as
desirable a residence as is anywhere to be met
with in England.
The Holy Well, called Malvern Well, is situated
about a quarter of a mile below the village. Its
waters are characterized by an extraordinary
purity, that makes it exceed in this respect any
other known. The purest waters in the city of
Worcester contains fifty times as much earth,
Vie hot well at Bristol twenty times, and the
spring at Renwick-hill, near Worcester, twelve
times as much earth. As the best proof of its
excellent clearness Dr. Wall, after a very dry
season in 1743, evaporated three quarts of this
' Holy Well water in an open silver vessel, when no
residuum was left that could be collected, only
the bottom of the vessel was tinged of a pale
yellow colour,•which was.considered to be some-
what of a bituminous or oily nature.
At the well is, built a large house, with all
conveniences, for the reception of those who come
to drink the waters.

HANTS.
A very compact and valuable LITTLE FARM, within one mile
of the Farnborough Station of the London and South Wes-
tern Railway, one mile from Frimley, five from the Market
Town of Farnham, and thirty from London.
MESSRS. DICKSON and BELL, have received
instructions to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, at
Garraway's, on TUESDAY, August 23, at One (unless an ac-
ceptable offer be previously made, of which due notice will be
given ),
A very valuable and compact Little ESTATE, called
CLARK'S FARM, most advantageously situate as above,
containing about 75A. On. 12r., or thereabouts, of Arable
and Meadow Land, in a ring-fence, about thirty and a half
acres of which are Freehold, and the remainder Copyhold of the
Manor of Farnborough, with a very comfortable Farm-house,
built in the Elizabethan style, and ample Out-buildings, erected
a few years ago. The house contains four rooms, kitchen,
back kitchen, and dairy, and is so constructed as to render
it an easy matter to enlarge or remodel the same at a
trifling expense. The situation of the house is pleasant and
healthy, being a short distance from the high turnpike-road to
Farnham and Portsmouth, and the salubrity of the air is
proverbial. The land is a light loam, and well adapted for the
growth of all kinds of white and green crops of superior qua-
lity. To a gentleman engaged in business in London, and fond
of agricultural pursuits, this little property offers great advan-
tages, being within an hour and a half's ride of the metropolis.
It is in the occupation of a highly respectable tenant, whose
term expires at Michaelmas, 1843, when a considerable ad-
vance of rent may be obtained. Arrangements for immediate
possession may ke made if required.

At this period of the meeting two stones were
thrown, either from a lane immediately behind the
platform upon which the speaker stood, or from an
unfinished house, in the same direction, one of which
struck the Chairman. It was about the size of a
t mnis-ball, and various were the surmises of those
who witnessed the act without seeing the ruffian—the
villain who thus tried to excite disturbance in an as-
sembly which manifested more decorum, and more
attention to the speaker than is usually to be found
amongst the " aggregate wisdom" of the nation.

The annexed certi-

" I hereby certify that I have submitted to chemical investi-
gation the starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison,
of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article, conse-
quently free from any ingredient that would act injuriously
even on the finest fabric. From trials conducted with it under
irny own superintendence, I have found that in starching it
goes farther than the best kinds of patent starch, that it gives
an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not
iable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of
manufacturing the starch in all its stages, I am satisfied that
potatoe flour is not used in its manuftieture.

DECLARATION OF A BONUS.
PROMOTER LIFE ASSURANCE and

friars. London. Established in 1826.
In this Office Assurances can be effected at a low rate of
Premium, without profits, or at an increased Premium, with
participation in the profits of the Office.
A Bonus in ready money, equivalent to 15 per cent. on the
premiums received, was declared in May last, on all Beneficial
Policies, on which three Annual Premiums had been paid in
December, 1841.
Assurers may contract to pay their Premiums either in one
sum, in a given number of payments, in annual, half-yearly, or
quarterly payments, or on the ascending or descending scale.
Officers in the Army and Navy on active service, Per-
sons afflicted with chronic and other diseases, and such as are
going beyond the limits of Europe, are also Assured at Mode-
rate Rates.
Prospectuses, and all necessary information, may be obtained
at the Office. MICHAEL SAWARD, Secretary.

Mr. PARKER, in seconding the resolution, re-
gretted to find that attempts had been mute to lessen 1
the physico-moral effect produced by numbers. The
Times had stated the numbers at Stepney-green, in
Wednesday morning's publication, as about 9,000 or
10,000, but having to do the work of its taskmasters,
in the following publication it was announced as only
1,500. But he would look around at the present as-
semblage, and confidently give the lie to the base and
blood-thirsty print, which advocated the doctrine of
" wholesome blood-letting."
Another resolution,- expressive of a conviction that
the police and military were only doing that which
their duty required of them in strictness, having been
moved by Mr. Bolwell, and seconded by Mr. Ander-
son, in effective addresses : and others having spoken
in support of the resolution, and urged upon the
meeting the necessity of civility and courtesy to
those functionaries, the meeting adjourned, about half-
past eight o'clock, to Clerkenwell-green.
The van from which the speakers addressed the
meeting having proceeded in the above direction, was
followed by the greater part of the vast assemblage,
and having drawn up opposite the Sessions-house,
several speakers addressed the meeting, which sepa-
rated peaceably about ten o'clock. The authorities
were in the neighbourhood, but everything was cha-
racterised by the greatest quiet.

Perhaps nothing completer can be found of
Malvern than an ancient song made in praise of
this place and its waters, which is believed to have
been composed in the reign of James the First :

AN OLD SONG.
As I did walk alone
Late in an evening
I heard the voice of ono
Most sweetly singing,.
Which did delight me much,
Because the song was such,
And ended with a touch.

PRICE OF SUGAR.
EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY.
London, Aug. 19, 1842.
The Gazette of this evening will announce the
average prices of British, Brown, or Muscovado
Sugars, exclusive of duty, as follows :
West India •• 36s. 31d. per cwt.
East India ...
Mauritius •• ..... .. 3ss. 91d. ~
Total average price........
The actual quantities of Sugar sold in the week'
ending the 16th inst., according to the returns made
upon oath by the sugar brokers,
in conformity- with
the Act of Parliament, and on which quantities the
above prices are computed, consisted of 21,559 cwt.
of West India, 3,045 cwt. of East India, and 7,238
cwt. of Mauritius.
On Tuesday about 200 hhds. of Muscomdo Sugar
from Cuba, of a quality (both as regards strength
and whiteness) superior to 'West India Sugar, were
sold in Mincing-lane, at public auction, for from 16s.
to 17s. per cwt., being 20s. per cwt. cheaper than
proving, beyond all cavil,
that the consumers of this country are paying the
British Plantation Sugar,
monopolists, as we stated last week, four millions ster-
ling per annum in excess of price beyond the conti-
nental market value of their sugars.
?
- We understand that the importers of sugar from
Cuba have realised a very handsome profit by th
above sale, and that other cargoes of it may be ex-
pected to follow—the price in Cuba being only one
dollar and a-half, or 6s. 6d. per cwt. .

Malvern is said to derive its name from the
British word mod, signifying bald, and were,
alders, importing a bald bill with alders at its
base, which was formerly the character of this
place. Before the Conquest it was a wilderness
thick set with trees, in the midst of which some
monks, who aspired to greater perfection, retired
from the Priory of Worcester, and became her-
mits. The enthusiasm spread so fast, that their
number soon increased to three hundred, when
they formed themselves into a society under the
order of St. Benedict, and founded a monastery.
An opinion is abroad, that in Malvern-hill
exists a rich mine; for about the middle of the
hill is found a species of talc, resisting the
utmost violence of fire ; some of the specimens
are of the nature of steatites, and others have
the splendid appearance of mica, In the year
1711, one William Williams, of Bristol, sunk a
mine about a mile from the town, on the top of
the hill, as you go to the Holy Well. He took
a lease from the Bishop of Hereford, sank shafts,
and built furnaces, but though he never ex-
tracted any considerable metal, he asserted that
both tin and copper were to be found.
Indeed it has long been a superstitious opinion
with the people of this neighbourhood, that
great quantities of treasure have been deposited
in times past, on this range of hills. The origin
of this is not easy to account for, but it has
been considerably strengthened by some casual
discoveries, particularly about forty years ago
when a quantity of silver coins were found.
A peasant also, in 1650, as be was digging a
ditch round his cottage, discovered a coronet of
gold, set with precious stones. This of course
only added to the belief in this ignorant principle.

in order to extend the sale of their own productions by'

on the recommendation of the most eminent of thy

analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand

that they have hitherto treated the insinuations
of quackery alluded to with the . contempt they
deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are
still to be obtruded on the public, B. and S, feel
theinselves justified in offering those explanations that,
may enable the public to judge for themselves.and
S. have placed
the name of Schweppe uon their bottles,
it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with
that firm, but for the purpose of announcing a,legitimate
fact, and always subordinate to their own. Without im
d credit to the name of Schweppe, they ilase
puting un ue
simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe
i
and Co.,—an undoubted fact, or doubtless t. would have
been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very
at
period that the waters sold by Sc
h weppe gave to th
name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers
was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold
by that house in London, Derby,. and Bristol.. It is
many years since any person, h.aving the slightest
connexion with the name or
family of the late Mr.
Schweppe, has been connected with any hou
thse in
busk
the.
trade. In the year 1834, the proprietor of e
ness carried on under the name o.f Schweppe and Co.
sold his interest to persons with whom R. and S
declined to remain : they preferred employing their in-
dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a business
for their own mutual profit. Whether the waters since
manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and Co.
retain the quality which
.acquired for that house all its
celebrity, B. and S. decline to give an opinion ; but, in
justice to themselves,. they do, with the most perfect con-
fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma
nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear
their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi-
cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning
wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than
their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedgo and
Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived
from filling them with waters of their own manufactory

as may be deserved from the Aerated Waters produl

THE CANADIAN PROPHECY.—Our readers will, no
doubt, remember the prophecy mentioned in our pages
some weeks ago. The Highland seer, resident in
Canada, predicted that war was to descend upon us, and
the peaceful banks of Loehness were to be deluged with
blood ! The belief is still as strong as ever. We have
tried to throw cold water on the imposition, b 7 ridi-
culing it ; but, though men are sometimes to be laughed,
rather than reasoned, out of a belief, this delusion has a
hold that seems strong enough to defy the power of either
means to eradicate it. The accounts that reach us of the
state of doubt and anxiety into which the minds of
thousands have been thrown, are almost incredible.
Many are anxious to emigrate before the blow comes
upon the country--many are hanging on in continual
fear ; while others, putting a bold fale upon on the idat-
ter, are furbishing their "fathers' swords" for the
strife. Old blades, that have hung in peace upon the
wall since they shone among the clans at Culloden' are
reme'ved from their honoured resting-place to await the
era al of the dr:el-coated usurper rpm our ihoeF.—

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO

SCOTLAND.

(From the Scotsman.)

The announcement that the Queen is about to visit
Scotland, has been hailed with lively satisfaction by
her loyal subjects in this part of the kingdom. Such
an event has, we believe, been fora considerable time
past in contemplation. her Majesty has, we under-
stand, expressed a desire that her visit should be at-
tended with as little display as possible ; and the short-
ness of the time allowed for preparation, is probably
intended to prevent unnecessary and expensive pa-
geantries. On the present occasion, therefore, there
will be less external magnificence than on the visit of
George the Fourth, twenty years ago. We need not
look for the same muster of Highland clans. Scot-
land's mighty poet and romancer will also be wanting
to animate the scene, and shed on the Royal presence
the lustre of his genius and name. Nevertheless, w e
confidently anticipate that the reception given to her
Majesty will be worthy of a hospitable and generous
people, and there will, we know, be ensured for her
the highest demonstrations of attachment on this, her
first visit to the Scottish capital.
Her Majesty is to leave London on Monday week;
the 29th inst., in the Royal George yacht, attended
by two ships of war, and is expected to reach Gran-
ton Pier on Wednesday. She will be accompanied by
his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, and other illus-
trious personages, including probably the Duke of
Wellington, and if the state of the country will per-
mit of their absence from head-quarters, Sir R. Peel
And Sir James Graham. On landing, the Royal party
will proceed to Dalkeith Palace, the seat of the Duke
of Buccleuch, where they will remain during the
whole of Thursday. On Priday, the Queen will hold
a drawing-room at Holyrood, the ladies to appear in
morning-dresses, an arrangement intended to pre-
', vent the ostentation and expense of Court costume.
There will, of course, be a numerous assemblage of
