THE GREAT LINEN-DRAPERY SALE.
Messrs. HOLMES and MADDOX of Watling-street,
the Proprietors of several Retail Shops which they have lately
discontinued, have, in consequence of the rapid Sale made by
Mr. FOSTER (the Accountant) s,f their Stock on the pre-
mises, Corner of FLEET-STREET and FARRINGDON-
STREET, further arranged with that gentleman, for the SALE
of their WHOLESALE STOCK through his hands, at such a
reduction in price to enable him to convert it in a abort time
into money, and bring the affairs of the establishment to a
close.
Mr. FOSTERhaving been written to by other parties request-
ing his assistance to dispose of stocks, begs to disclaim any inten-
tion of connecting with his present business generally the sell-
ing of drapery stocks, and would not have undertaken these
sales had he not felt satisfied, from a long professional employ-
ment by this house, that the sale was genuine, and that every
article would bear the test of wear, end fully answer the de-
scription given in this advertisement, or at the time of sale. To
give some idea of the enormous reduction, the following state-
ment will suffice :- s. d.
1,430 Pieces of long cloths, Horrock's No. 2. M. T.
and No. 9, mostly sold from 6d. to Bd. per yard, will
be sold by the piece only, 40 yards for l5 0

14 Boxes of Irish linens, being Knox's and Pollocks'
No. 31 to 37 averaged, they will reduce from 21d. and
2s. per yard (the original price), to the piece of 26
yards for 27 6
A single Box of Riehardson's yard wide Culeraines, the
lowest numbers being marked 3e. 3d. per yard, will

Lot 3. 70 pieces of 60 yards each, not to be cut, will be

The table linen requires particular mention. The difficulty
in finding a sale at the present time for such really expensive
and valuable goods, being the principal cause of the discontinu-
ing the trade by this house.
Amongst this important part of the stock are more than
3,000 cloths, varying from three to seven yards long, many that
cost even up to twelve guineas each ; the prices on this part of
the stock will be unprecedented. Some superb cloths, three
yards long of the richest double damask, will be reduced from
355. to 83. 6d., and those five yards long, with emblematic de-
signs, such as coronets, royal arms, &c.. will be sold 3L's. and
501., intended originally to realise ten guineas ; and 4,000 good
breakfast and small dinner cloths, many as low as 2s. 6.1, each,
two yards square ; dinner napkins that originally cost 20s. the
dozen, are reduced to 6s. 9d.
The Carpet Stock is likewise on sale, in amount, as per valua-
tion, 4,3001., comprising more than 700 pieces, on which a
reduction such as tt, ensure an immediate sale has been made.
Some good Brussels will be reduced to 2s. 2d, and 2s. 6d. a
yard, and the most superb qualities 3s. 3d. Several lots of
yard wide Kidderminster, excellent qualities, Is. 4d. and 19.6.1.
Persons in the trade are informed that separate departments
are opened, that they may not be recognised by the retail pur-
chaser, and the only possible alteration that can be made in
price will be a discount of 5 per cent. when the parcel ex-
ceeds 100/.
This immense and important sale is now on to private fami-
lies, foreigners, and shippers, at the corner of Fleet-street and
Farringdon- street, bottom of Ludgate•hill.
Omnibuses pass from all parts of the town every minute in
the day. Carriages will find Farringdon-street a convenient
place to stand.
FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT,
RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c.
Copy of a Letter addressed by Trev.or Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last,
to the Editor of the " Times :"-
.
" think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured my angle severely. From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinned very much swollen and edematous, and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from-the allele to the leg, thigh, back, and to the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Listen-then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling a the.,limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to 11Ir. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
s. I am, your obedient servant,
" TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.
" Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
" P. S. At the various consultations held upari my case, the
surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter-
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
had the slightest symptoms of dpasres since the first application
of this extraordinary embrocation.--T. H."

LORD 1111. L'S RESIGNATION.
GENERAL ORDER.
" Horse Guards, Aug. 15, 1842.
" General Lord Hill finds it necessary to resign the
command of the army on account of his Lordship's
present state of health, and her Majesty has been
graciously pleased to accept his Lordship's resignation.
" When Lord Hill assumed the command which he
now resigns, he expressed, in General Orders, his
confident hope, that from the General and other Offi-
cers, as well as from the Public Departments of the
Army, he would receive that support which should—
enable him to fulfil the important trust reposed in him.
" That hope has not been disappointed, but, on the
contrary, realised beyond Lord Hill's most sanguine
expectation.
" The conduct of the troops has, both in the field
and in
,quarters, furnished, during Lord Hill's com-
mand of them, an example of discipline, regularity,
and general efficiency, not to he surpassed, and the
officers have by their devotion to their duty, enabled
his Lordship to maintain the army in that creditable
state. The officers have, therefore, established their
claim to Lord Hill's lasting gratitude and esteem.
"His Lordship cannot, then, but with painful feel-
ings take leave of officers, non-commissioned officers,
and soldiers, whose conduct has been so uniformly ap-
proved by their Sovereign, and by their country.
" These feelings are, however, greatly alleviated and
consoled by the reflection, that the command of the
army is, now, to be resumed by the Duke of Wel-
lington, the ever vigilant and mostinfluential guardian
of its interests, and whose achievements have raised
its character to the highest pinnacle of glory.
" By command of the Right Hon.
."
Gen. Lord HILL, Commanding-in-Chief.
" JOHN MACDONALD, Adjutant-Gen."

ALARMING STATE OF
E CO UN TR Y.
CHARTIST MOVEMENTS IN
LIVERPOOL

The demonstrations of the Chartists in this town
have never been of a nature to excite pinch anxiety
or alarm. It ,is believed that we have but few
Chartists amongst us, and some little show of activity
that few have deemed it necessary to make. On
Monday afternoon a placard, which, had a more im-
mediate reference to Liverpool was posted on the walls
in every part of the town. It was headed " Chartism,"
and called upon the people of that body to assemble at the
room at the bottom of Preston-street on the following
day, for the purpose of choosing a Delegate to the
National Conference to be held in Manchester on the
18th and 19th inst. Instructions were issued to
Mr. \Vbitty, the head-constable, to have several
officers and men stationed contiguous to the scene of
action, to watch the proceedings, and suppress any
appearance of tumult.
At twelve o'clock the room, which will hold some
150 people, was filled with individuals of very mean,
not to say, dirty exterior. The
speeches consisted of
the usual Chartist staples, abuse of both Whigs and
Tories, agriculturists and manufacturers, and lauda-
tions of the Charter, as the only remedy for the
people's sufferings, and nothing far.r,arne of it.—
Liverpool Courier.

MANCIIESTER.-TUESDAY.

ADJOURNED MEETING OF DELEGATES.

(Abridged from the Manchester Guardian.)
At half-past ten o'clock this morning, the Dele-
gates assembled at the Hall of Science, Alexander
Hutchinson in the Chair. The Secretary having
called over the names of the Delegates, the Chairman
opened the proceedings by reading an address, which
had been agreed to and published by the Committee.
The address appeared in vesttirdaY afteitibon% 'SuV.
The•Chairmdtt hoped the 'Meeting *Ohm.cotiduci
their proeeedjngs•in A calm and dispassionate Manner.
From what he bad IwoiA since„thq,Pelegates sepa-
rated the previous evening; he was convinced of the
necessity, on the part of the meeting, speedily to ex-
press its determination. He hoped that they would
do so with calmness and consideration. He begged
of them not to recommend any thing rashunder the
excitement of the moment. The working men did
not appear to be sa enthusiastic as at the commence-
ment of the movement ; but they seemed to act more
from reflection. The Dissenting clergymen had held
a meeting, and it was considered, advisable to appoint
a deputation to wait upon' them, and solicit their co-
operation in the struggle that was now being made
for the rights of the people.---Benjamin Stott moved
a resolution strongly recommending to trades' socie-
ties to make political discussions lawful and
necessary in their assemblies. It was of,
vast importance that the minds of the Work-
ing people should be enlightened as to their political
rights.—Heginbottom seconded the motion.—Mor-
risson, from Patricroft, opposed it.—Mr. John Saxon,
a shopkeeper, who, along with some other spectators,
was admitted to the gallery, was permitted to say that
he was no special constable, that he had been re-
quested to become one, but had refused ; that
a large portion of the shopkeepers were special consta-
bles, and not to be trusted ; and that he was no hypo-
crite—he was heart and soul with the trades in the
present movement'. Not being allowed to proceed
further, he withdrew from the hall.—Charles Stuart,
the Secretary, said it was a paltry motion, and it was
withdrawn.—William Duffy denied, on the part of
the meeting, an imputation contained in a placard is-
sued that morning, and signed " A Citizen," stating
that they were the tools of a party, and were making
a trade of agitation, and moved a resolution to that
effect.

Several Delegates addressed the meeting in sup-
port of this resolution.—William Robinson then
moved—

" That this meeting do not agree with the present
resolution, until we have had a conference with the
middle classes."

N!elrose seconded the amendment.—Bernard M'Cart-
ney thought it was due to the character of the work-
ingclasses to put forward, as early as possible, contra-
dictions to the calumnious representations that had
been posted on the walls of the town. ILr hoped the
resolution would be at once adopted, and forthwith
printed and circulated.—Frederick. Taylor, from Roy-
ton, advised the Delegates to make a determined stand
for the obtainment of their just rights, and hoped the
time of the meeting would not be .wasted by the con-
sideration of questions which could effect nothing.
Several other Delegates expressed the same opinion,
and recommended the withdrawal of a resohition,
which was only the beginning of, a paper war with
the authorities, and the substitution of something in
its stead. The resolution was then withdrawn. Wil-
liam Stott then proposed the following resolution :
"That, from the statements made before this dele-
zate meeting; it is evident that a tremendous majority
in these great manufacturing districts are in favour
of the People's Charter becoming the law of the land;
and, in conformity with that opinion, it is at this stage
ofthe proceedings necessary that a definitive decision
should be come to relative to the future course of
action to be immediately adopted by the working
classes, stating definitely whether labour be further
suspended, or again resumed."
This motion was seconded and agreed to. Joseph
Melrose then moved—
" That the Delegates here assembled recommend
their respective constituencies to adopt all legal means
to carry into effect the People's Charter, and that they
send delegates to every part of the United Kingdom,
to endeavour to get t'he co-operation of the middle
and labouring classes to carry out the same, and that
they stop work until it becomes the law of the land."
Frederick Taylor, from Royton, seconded the
motion.

Smith, a representative of the engravers of
Manchester, moved as an amendment—
" That this meeting recommend the people to
resume their employment forthwith."
He thought it was a complete folly for one part of
tho community to cease working, while others did
not do so, and those who had ceased working were
doing neither good nor harm.—David Morrison,
from Patricroft, said, the Mark Lane Express, which
had just arrived in town, stated that there was a
falling in the public funds. The people of London
manifested great sympathy with the working classes
engaged in the present movement. When the mill.
tary were leaving London, the people were so clamo-
rous that the band was ordered to strike up, in,
order to drown the noise of the populace. He re-
commended the working classes to imitate the an-
cient Romans, who retired to a hill, and refused to
return to their labour until their political rights
were conceded to them.—Charles Stuart, the Secre-
tary, stated that many of the proprietors of
mills were favourable to the movement, and willing
to subscribe to support those engaged in it,
provided they looked for their political rights. lie
did not approve of confining the agitation to the
question of an advance of wages.---Jellicluson, from
Lees, stated that the body he represented were wil-
ling to cease from labour until the wages were ad-
vanced; but, if the agitation were employed for po-
litical objects, they were determined to return to
their work.—A Delegate stated, that if they once
agreed to go for the Charter, though
he could not
say from what source they might derive assistance,
he was confident they would be well supported._
Robert Gardner, representative of the engravers and
printers of Manchester, denounced as f
•ctoligh and in-
sane the recommendation to the working classes not
to return to their labour till they obtained the
Charter. He was a Chartist to the back-bone ; but
he thought the people could not maintain themselves
for a period sufficiently long to enable them so
ob.
prevailing
taM the Charter. He believed that our commercial
restrictions were not only the cause of the
distress, but also the great hindrance to the
obtain-
ment of the Charter ; and concluded by toovio
an
amendment to that effect, which INV EAticoxieg by
Neild, a batter. caTic.le)Pti unl Hyde, said,
there waif plenty of Prqvlsignl '"r tnein on the
hills-,plenty of good 'mops, with which they might
supply their wards ; and hethereforeimplored the
i delegates to resolve upon holding out until they ob-
' Wiled the Charter. There were plenty of
Ion: Who
did no work, and yet they lured in affluence. There
were plenty a provisions in the country, and no
muse fbr fear in that respect.—Fielden, from Lees,
said, the resources of the people were insufficient to
enable them to abstain from labour, until t ob-
tained the Charter.—A, 139,1 we, inquireo
consistently
how uld
suppliefi 114 obtained during the turn-out

were told to go to the hills and find provisions ;
but
the man who had reared those

vegetahi
.•
had a first fllll ih4llilnaloie right them...--(Hear.)
thalina'n interrupted the speaker to inform the
meeting, that a letter had been received from Mr.
Williscroft, a shopkeeper, who- had addressed the
delegates on Friday last.. Mr. Hutchinson %hen read
the following' conulitpue4tion to the melt g

" Sir,—l beg to state that, at a meeting of the D;s-
senting Ministers yesterday, nothing conclusive was
come to as to what they should do. They met again to-
day. They were united in their conviction that
something should be done for the poor; and I believe
it was their opinion that the Corn-laws ought to be
repealed, and it was thought. that that measure would
greatly relieve the present distress.—(Laughter.) I
have seen a number of respectable people and shop-
keepers this morning; and as large numbers are en-
gaged as constables, and others fear the authorities in
holding a meeting, it is not at present possible to call
any large number together. They are all desirous
that something should be done by Government ; and
it is generally the impreSsion, that if Government
would repeal the Corn-laws, it would afford at present
great relief to the country, and would be all Govern-
ment would grant. I think the middle classes wish
to obtain large measures for the working men ; but
the opinion is, that they must obtain them by a step
at a time. If your body could obtain a large assem-
bly of the shopkeepers, I would be happy to attend ;
and remain yours, &c. "W. WILLISCROFT."
The meeting then adjourned till three o'clock.
AFTERNOON MEETING.

At ten minutes past three o'clock, the delegates
re-assembled; and, several speakers having declared
that the working classes should not be satisfied with
any thing less than the Charter, Bernard M'Cartney
stated, that 15,000 of the people of Leigh delegated
him to. declare, that from the Charter alone they
hopd a redress of their grievances. He would there-
fore call upon them to cease any longer to produce
wealth, unless that wealth were distributed in ac-
cordance with the minds of those that produced it, and
concluded by asserting, that the people of Leigh came
to a resolution to stand by the " turn-outs," if they
not return to their work until the Charter be-
came the law of the land.—A delegate from Fails-
worth stated, that the body he represented would not
co-operate in any movement, except for the purpose-
of increasing' ways.--":Severat other &legates- ex-
pressed;,-a, ' They thought it be4t'
-not: to interfere with .f.the'`Charttr ;-. they wanted'
the sae Wages- they' Ida.- in. 1839; rand-
Aered the Charter an impracticable • irieasure.
Benjamin Stott said, the cry of "a-fair day's wages
for a fair day's work" was only a clap-trap introduced
by some who had received their instructions from the
Anti Corn-law League There was little advantage
to be gained by a turn-out for wages; for, if a paltry
increase were obtained, there was nothing to secure
the continuance of that advance. It was as easy to
to obtain the Charter as an advance of wages.—(Hear;
hear.)—Charles Stuart, the Secretary, stated that up-
wards of 3,000,0001., had been expended by mechanics
during the last fifteen years, in an endeavour to ad-
vance wages, and without success. The same amount
of energy and capital that had been thus fruitlessly
expended would have obtained the Charter.—(Hear,
hear.)—At five o'clock a little alarm was created by
the appearance of a large party of special con-
stables and police, on horseback and on foot, in
Cainpfield. Intelligence having been brought that
the Magistrates were knocking at the door, the
Chairman ordered James Lowe, the keeper of the
Hall, to admit them. When "Mr. Beswick, the chief
superintendent of police, entered the room, the Chair-
man aled him if he were a delegate.—Mr. Beswick
I apprehend you know who I am ?—The Chairman-:
I do not.—Mr. Beswick: I presume the door-keeper
has informed you who I am ?—The Chairman : 0, I
suppose you are Mr. Beswick.—Mr. Beswick then
stated, that the Alderman of that ward had been at
the Town Hall, and informed the Afayor and Magis-
trates; that a large concourse of persons were assem-
bled in the field adjoining the Hall of Science. He
apprehended that the peaceably disposed inhabitants
were afraid in consequence of the assemblage in the
Hall; and they were desirous—that the meeting
should be adjourned. And; continued Mr. Beswick,
I also expect that this meeting will now adjourn.
The Chairman : We are not aware that this meeting
is illegal. We have taken every possible precaution
to prevent any disturbance from growing out of this
meeting. We have also used our influence to prevent
the crowd from assembling outside. We have no
objection to receive you here in this room, or any
other officer or peace protector ; but we hope the
meeting will not be disturbed. We have no objec-
tion to admit you if you keep order.—Mr. Beswick :
The Mayor and Magistrates have issued placards,
in which all meetings, no matter for what purpose
assembled, are declared illegal. Two of the Magis-
trates are now outside.—The Chairman : You are
quite welcome to bring them in ; we have no objec-
tion to admit them.—Mr. Beswick then withdrew,
and after a few minutes returned with Mr. Alderman
Kay.—Mr. Kay then said : Mr. Chairman, as Alder-
derman of this ward, I call upon you to disperse this
assemblage. It has produced very great alarm in the
minds of the inhabitants of this district. I call upon
you to adjourn this meeting, because a large as-
semblage has been collected outside of the doors. No at-
tempt was made to interfere with you till that took place.
I believe that, under these circumstances, this meeting
is illegal. Under these impressions„.l have been sent
here to desire this meeting to disp6rse.—The Chair-
mau—We have called our meeting in a legal manner ;
we have admitted the reporters of the public press,
and a large number of witnesses to the gallery We
have taken every possible means to keep our meeting
in a legal form ; we have also used our influence to
disperse those outside. Believing this meeting to be
legal, we cannot think of separating without transact-
ing our business.—The Chairman having made
some further observations to the same effect,
Mr. Kay said that there were still large
crowds outside the buildink-7, and. it ueeessary
that they should be disperied, Those crowds
were assembled in consequence of the meeting of
Delegates, and it was to that fact he wished to draw
the attention of the Chairmp.n. —Mat statement am
I to make to the Magistrates ?—The Chairman :
That we will use all our infitienee to get the crowd
from about the doors; and, if we do not succeed, we

RUMOURED BURNING OF A MILL.
MANCHESTER, TIJESAY NIGIIT.—About noon to-
day accounts of the burning of a mill at Leigh, a few
miles from Bolton, reached town, and a strong body
of military were immediately dispatched by railway.
At the time of closing our parcel the exact particu-
lars had not reached us, but it appears to have been
the work of the mob.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
It will be seen, from the particulars elsewhere
given, that, in speaking of the outrages which were
4;ommitted at the beginning of last week, as the com-
mencement of a general outbreak, we were perfectly
correct in our views of the matter. From Manches-
ter, and its immediate vicinity, the "holiday" has
been carried, not only to the more distant manufac-
turing towns in Lancashire, but to a large portion of
the West Riding of Yorkshire, to the manufacturing
parts of Cheshire, and to the Potteries, where the ex-
cesses of the mob have been of a very frightful cha-
racter.; and it seems highly probable, that the epi-
demic will spread to almost every part of the manu-
facturing districts.
It is, however, reasonable to conclude, that the lo-
calities first infected wifh this strange malady will
be the first to.enjav a restoration •of health. In .(an-
chaster we hope the crisis of the disease has passed
over, and that we afe,74 all -.events,. approaching
state of Convilesc ' For 'Seirerat:days past, the'
workihi-61assei' have liad - to-
their wish. Laboitt' is 'altnogt 'l6tally suspended, as
they'desired, and no attempt is made by the ehipley-
ers to cause its resumption. But many of the work-
men are now beginning to ask themselves, " What
have we got by all this ? what are we likely to get ?
and what is to be our next step?" The full accomplish-
ment of their plan of turning out workmen, the entire
absence of opposition, and the consequent decrease
of excitement in the town during the last three or
four days, have given men leisure to ponder on these
questions ; and, if we are not very greatly misin-
formed, they have much difficulty in finding answers
at all satisfactory to their own minds. Into any
schemes of pillage or incendiarism, like those which
have disgraced another district, we are quite confident
nothing will impel the working classes of this neigh-
bourhood ; and they would not gain, but lose, if they
should be so impelled. But what are they to get by
sitting still or walking as they do, quietly and peace-
ably about the streets, whilst their wives and families
are starving at home ? They have begun to think of
these things ; and they will think of them more and
more, as their excitement dies away, and their neces-
sities increase.

We are exceedingly glad to learn that there is no
intention on the part either of the authorities or of
the manufacturers to adopt any measures that could
have the appearance of forcing a resumption of labour
upon the' orking classes. No doubt, by opening the
doors ' of the factories, by intimating to • the work-
people that they must now resume their labour, or
lose their situations, and by making a free use of the
strong civil and military force now at the disposal of
the authorities, a pretty extensive beginning might
now be made. But we conceive that any such cour. e
would be highly inexpedient. It would renew the
excitement which is now subsiding; it would cause
collisions, endanger the loss of life, and be produc,
tive of many serious disadvantages, all of wh'x'h,
we believe, would be avoided, by allowing the matter
to take the course into which its own air tenors have
impelled it. We own that we do not 'Like the notion
of working factories under the guns of the military,
or the batons of the police ; and we think that no
attempt should be made to open them at all, until the
people employed in them can be secure, not only from
being forcibly turned out, but from persecution, an-
noyance, or on the part of their neighbours.
In this view of the matter, the spinners and manufac-
turers, so far as we can judge from the tenor of their
published resolutions, fully concur; and we trust that
the wise course which they have chalked out for them-
selves in this extraordinary crisis will be steadily pm--
Sued to its termination.

EXTRACT or A LETTER FROM MANCHESTER.
The various political parties are blaming each
other for the present alarming state of things in the
manufacturing and mining districts. Some attribute
them to the Chartists, others place the blame to the
account of the Anti-Corn-law League. This may be
a very oonvenient way of evading the question,
" what has caused, and what remedy can be applied
to, such an alarming outbreak ?" They may rest
assured that this is not merely a dispute between a
few masters and their workmen. The great body of
operatives in the manufacturing districts are
not discontented from any system of agitation
—agitation is the mere offspring of the evil
—but from the knowledge of the fit t'nat
the syste:n of class legislation which has been car-
ried on in this country for so many year, 'has
ground
*horn to the brink of starvation, 0:1a that, as they
allege, "for the purpose of pamll;:ring a bloated aris-
tocracy who only laugh at tieir misery while they
pretend to sympathise wl'th them in their sufferings."
This feeling exists very generally amongst the
middle classes in this neighbourhood, who finding the
shoe begin to pinch them, have at last discovered the
cause of so much misery in a productive country, and
many of them show a disposition to join the labour-
ing ()lasses, who find that the patience with which
they have borne their distresses (unparalleled in the
history of any country) has rivetted their own chains,
and now appear resolved to take matters into their own
hands.

Let not the overpaid members of the Church and
the State imagine that the affair is over, or will
hastily be put down by parading a few soldiers and
police along the streets. The peop!e, 'tis true, are
peaceable at present; but that quiet is the result of
the complete organisation of the whole body. Let
the Government hasten to develop means for averting
the misery which is so wide-spread ; for if they do
not take some immediate, decisive, End effective steps
to that end, they will incur a responsibility more
serious than perhaps they have ever taken the trouble
to calculate.—Brighton Guardian.

A RARE BlRD.—Last week a specimen of the
White-bellied Swift (Ct•psilus Alpinis) flew on board a
coasting vessel, a few miles to the westward of Land's
End, and was secured by the crew. It is now in the
possession of Air. Clement Jackson, of Looe, who has
stuffed and added it to his valuable collection. So rare
is the White-bellied Swift, as an occasional visitant, that
this appears to be the sixth specimen only recorded as
found in the United Kingdom.—Falmouth Packet.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—An inquest was held last
week at Sion House, Birchanger, the seat of W. Willett,
Esq., before C. C. Lewis, Esq., Coroner, on the body
of Eliza Norton, housemaid in Mr. Willan's establish-.
ment. It was alleged that an improper intimacy had
taken place between her and a person of apparent re-
spectability, residing with the curate of the parish, and
she having received intimation of her discharge from
Mrs. Willan's service, the prospect of ruin from her lost
character induced her to commit suicide, as she was found
hanging lifeless from her bedstead. Evidence having
been adduced as to the discovery of the deceased hanging
in a lifeless state, Mr. William 'Milan, of Birchanger,
deposed 7--" Deceased came into my service about five
weeks since ; but having been from home I had not saen
her. On Saturday morning my housekeeper informed me
that she was a character she did not like, and she had
heard many unpleasant stories of her ; that she had ab-
sented herself from church on the evening of the 17th, and
had been with a gentleman who lives with the curate of
the parish. In consequence of this I sent for her, and
told her she could not expect to remain in my house. I
then told the housekeeper to pay her what was due, and
to behave liberally to her ; in the course of a few
minutes I heard a violent scream ; on leaving my room
I met the housekeeper, who told me deceased was dead."
Three letters were produced,- two of which were from
Mr. Bowlter,,resident at the curate's, to the deceased,
but bearing the address "Jane Smith," and the other
was from her to him, begging him to see Mr. Willan's
housekeeper, and endeavour to persuade her that there
was no foundation for the rumours concerning them. A
verdict of
.felo de se was returned, and the coroner issued
his warrant for the interment of the remains of the un-
fortunate girl without the rites of Christian burial,—

Nottingham, Aug. 15, 1 542.
Sia,-;-The present alarming appearance of the
country, must fill the mind of every sober and reflect-
ing individual with dismay, and however the Tory
press may endeavour to connect it with political prin-
ciples, there can be no doubt that every sensible indi-
vidual, whose mental vision is not obscured by party,
will trace it to the deepest and most agonizing desti-
tution. Had the recommendation contained in your
highly esteemed and widely-circulated paper, been
acted upon, the present distressing state of affairs
would, in a great measure, have been averted ; but,
unfortunately, there exists a determination amongst
those who hold the reins of Government to continue
their insane policy, which will ultimately end in
universal anarchy and confusion. There is one re-
markable circumstance connected with this outbreak,
which cannot be overlooked, and which it would be
well for Sir Robert Peel and his party seriously to
reflect upon, and that is, that the indignation of the
people appears to be entirely directed against the
