CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S ,DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 In use,
they have been adopted by the offi.lal authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
CIO-houses; the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
-gas have passed --ttferittrrElliffil of theSe meters Virthotit. 'regula-
tion or repair, axd which are - still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.

All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be f rwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. ➢lartin's-lane, London.

THE TURN-OUT AT HEY WOOD

_
On Saturday morning, as
in Heywood
would be the
case, the hands at ten factories Heywood did not
go to their work, in consequence of the expiration of
the notice which the masters had given a fortnight
previous, owing to the support afforded to the hands
lately working for Messrs. Hilton, Kay, and Son,
who turned out eight weeks ago for an advance of
10. per cut. The following are the names of the
millowners whose mills stopped on Saturday :—Mr.
Robert Kershaw ; Messrs. Harrison and Co. (two
mills) ; Mr. James Clegg, Fold Mill ; Mr. Moses
Cheetham ; Messrs. Clegg and Hall, Bowling Green
Mill ; Mr. 'William Hartley, Rochdale-road ; Mr.
John Clegg, Vale Mill; Mr. John Hargreaves, and
Mr. John Wild. The hands in the employ of Messrs.
Chadwick and Diggle, and also of Messrs. Hacking,
were also out on Saturday, in consequence of the ma-
chinery having broken down.
About ten o'clock, on Saturday morning, several
hundred persons met near the Britannia public-house,
Wrigley Brook ; and, accompanied by a band of music.
proceeded through the principal streets, after which
they held a public meeting on a space of ground
called Angel Meadows, near St. James's Church.
About 1,000 persons were here assembled. A cart
was provided for the speakers ; and Patrick Wall, a
shoemaker, having been appointed chairman, advised
his hearers to be firm and peaceable; he then intro-
duced a shoemaker, named Brown, who complained
of the newspapers calling a person from Ashton, who
had been amongst them at Heywood, " the noto-
rious Pilling." His text was " fire farthings, and
no surrender." The manufacturers were getting
3d. per cut more for their goods than they got in
1841-2, and the raw material was lower. It was his
opinion, the masters' intention was to reduce the
operatives to the lowest pitch of poverty, whilst they
themselves were rolling in their bottles of wine, riding
in their coaches, and heaping up fortunes for them-
selves and families. It was not in the spirit of Eng-
lishmen to work for Bs. or 9s. per week ; they had
therefore to look out for a wife who was a good
weaver, and the men had to stop at home and cook for
their wives and children. The speaker complained
of the combination of the manufacturers, and said the

TDB LORD MAYOR. —On Sunday morning, the
Lord Mayor, accompanied by, -the Lady Alnyoress and the
lierifTs, visited St. Barnabas Church, King-square. The
sermon was preached in a very impressive manner by the
incumbent (Mr. Hill), for the benefit of the Finsbury Dis-
pensary. During the service some considerable degree of
alarm and apprehension was occasioned by a person from
the outside throwing a stone through a window near to the
pew in which the Lord Mayor sat, which fell within a few
feet of its intended mark. Several other interruptions oc-
curred by persons hallooing in at the doors some very un-
mistakeable allusions to the late proceeding ; and upon his
making his appearance to depart, he was received with loud
bursts of yellings and hootingg, amidst which he drove off in
Wecipitate manner.

THE LORD MAYOR. —On Sunday morning, the
Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Lady Afayoress and the
sheriffs, visited St. Barnabas Church, King-square. The
ramon was preached in a very impressive manner by the
incumbent (Mr. Hill), for the benent of the Finsbury Dis-
pensary. During the service some considerable degree of
alarm and apprehension was occasioned by a person from
the outside throwing a stone through a window near to the
pew in which the Lord Mayor sat, which fell within a few
feet of its intended mark. Several other interruptions °c-
caned by persons hallooing in at the doors some very un-
niiitakeable allusions to the late proceeding ; and upon his
making his appearance to depart, he was received with loud
biarsts of yellings and bootlegs; agadst which he drtne off in
precipitate mum.

LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1845.

Sir ROBERT PEEL on Friday brought forward his
Financial Statement, or Budget, for the current year,
in a speech of some three hours and a half duration,
which was certainly one of the most remarkable ever
delivered from the Treasury benches. It was a mani-
festo of principles as well as a summary of details ;
and in the former of these characters comprised
much which evidently affected the great party who
act, ostensibly, with him with more decided senti-
ments of astonishment or disappointment than of
admiration. On the other hand the Opposition)
throughout almost every part of the address, re-
sponded to the appeals, and sanctioned the doctrines
of the Right Hon. Baronet with a cordiality and
decision
which must have been very gratifying
confess that, on
to his feelings. For our own parts, we must

notwithstandingstatement, we are

POST-OFFICE ESPIONAGE.

Mr. T. DUNCONIBE presented a petition from
Capt. Stalbey and another, complaining of the unsa-
tisfactory state of the report of the Secret Committee
appointed last year to inquire into this subject. These
two gentlemen had had their letters opened ; and, in
the event of the House appointing another Committee
to inquire further into the matter, they prayed the
House to allow them to be heard before that Com-
mittee, inasmuch as imputation had been cast upon
them in the former Committee, and no opportunity,
had been afforded them for vindicating their cha-
rae' ers. The Hon. Member intimated that to-morrow
he would move that this petition be printed with the
Votes at the same time that, according to notice, he
would bring under the consideration of the House
the unsatisfactory and evasive character of the report
made by the late Secret Committee.

The -IIoN. MEMBER also moved that the petition
of Mr. Joseph Mazzini, presented on the 14th inst.,
be printed with the votes.

DECLARATION OF THF: GUARDIANS OF BRENT,
DEVON.

ITALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS.
A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS.
The following case has excited S 3 much interest, that the Guardians
of the pat ish of Brent, Devon, have mansidere lit their duty to sign
their names to the accompanying important declaration :
We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro-
tins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic
Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some
of them so large that a person mig ,t have laid hi., fist in them) ; that
before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement,
and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely
restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried
various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops,'
and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this
country, without deriving the 1 ast benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic
Drops," have co pletely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend
to his lattour rs well as any mart in our parish. From other cures
also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Sccrbutic
Drops" to the notice of the putlic.
Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning
yeaice, Henry GoAlmao, Arthur Langworthy.

June 21, 043
The ,bove.mc it:lotted Thomas Rolins was quite incap,ble of doing
any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drope.
Some of his wounds were so large that is ws most awful to look at
them, and th,, itching end pain of the wounds generally were mo,t
di eadtul; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by
passersby, both day and night, for sipe;, wa, entirely out of the ques-
tion. He was reduce Ito mere skin and bone. and daily continued to
get weaker, so that thote was every probability of his speedy death.

MPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCURVY,
London, England, 1845-02-17

CLERKEN WELL.

William Shears 4; the proprietor and driver of a
Camden-town omnibus, appeared to a summons to
answer the complaint of Philip Sallick, jun., the pro-
prietor and driver of a Paddington omnibus, for having
wilfully and maliciously obstructed him, whereby he
endangered the lives of passengers, and also for having
made use of abusive language.
Mr. Robinson attended for the prosecution, and a so-
licitor appeared for the defendant.
It appeared that the defendant had been in the habit
of obstructing complainant, and annoying him on the
road. On Wednesday afternoon, the sth inst., com-
plainant was driving along Pentonville-hill at a mode-
rate pace, his vehicle being full of ladies and gentlemen,
when defendant whipped and gallopped his horses, any'
crossed him, to the imminent danger of the lives of
complainant and the passengers. He continued this sort
of conduct until they arrived in the City road, when he
began gallopping his horses and crossed the road. Com-
plainant remonstrated with him on the impropriety of
such conduct, when defendant commenced a volley of
abuse, calling him most foul n2mes, to thC great annoy-
ance of the passengers ; and he drove on before him,
jeering him ; and complainant felt it to be his duty to
take out a summons against him.
Mr. GREENWOOD convicted him in the penalty of 20a.
and costs, for the abominably filthy and abusive language
he had used ; and for the wilful obstruction he would
commit him to the House of Correction (without fine
for ten days.
