GODFREY'S CORDIAL.—An inquest was held yesterday at
the sign of the Prince Regent, Walbroke-terrace, Shoreditch,
on the remains of a child seven months' old, who came by its
death from having an overdose of medicine, called Godfrey's
Cordial, administered to it by its mother. It was proved to
the satisfaction of the jury that the mother had no wish to
do the deceased any injury when she administered the medi-
cine. Mr. Baker, a surgeoni-gave it as his opinion that the
deceased died from having narcotic medicine administered to
it, and expressed his strong disapprobation of the practice of
administering such medicine to children of such an age. The
jury returned a verdict to the effect, " That the deceased died
in consequence of having narcotic medicine administered,
casually and by misfortune, toit.-:--Standard.
DEATH OF MR. MORI, —We have much regret in an-
nouncing the death of this distinguished musician, which
took place on Thursday night, after a very short illness. He
had complained, in the course of the day, of lumbago, and
was unable to attend his duty at the Opera House. His son
was sent for whilst performinginAho orchestra. and when he
reached home, found that his father was no more. Mr.
Mori, we believe, was about 50. He was a wiclower, having

high station.

GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGEMENT:OP THE SLAVE TRADE.
—A Glasgow paper states that since government granted per-
mission to the sugar refiners of Scotland to manufacture
foreign sugar in bond for exportation, a new branch of trade
had been opened up to the merchants in that district. The
ship James Turcan had arrived at Greenock from the Spanish
settlement of Manilla with 11,000 bags of sugar, being the
first vessel that had ever come there direct from the said
settlement. We do not consider it much to the credit of the
government to be giving this sort of encouragement to the
slave-trade in a foreign colony, now that it has been abolished
in all our own. Mr. P. Thomson inflicted a very great in-
jury on the West India trade by the introduction of so in-
judicious a change, as they find it impossible, in the present
state of the English colonies, to compete successfully with
the growers of free labour" sugar. Coffee coming from
the Brazils, via the Cape of Good Hope, has been admitted
for home consumption in large quantities, and is so still on
the payment of duty as British plantation coffee. The slave
colonies of our allies, Spain and Portugal, cannot fail to
prosper under this new order of things, whatever may be the
fate of our neglected islands.—Morning Poet.
IMPERIAL BANK.--Thursday being the day fixed upon for
confirming the resolutions of the last general meeting, held on
the 27th ult. which were to make a further call of £5 per
share, to change the name of the bank, and to fix two general
meetings in the year instead of one. A numerous party of
shareholders assembled at the bank. The utmost unanimity
we hear, prevailed, and the call was, without any dissentient
voice, immediately confirmed. The call has accordingly been
made, and ordered to be paid on or before the 13th day of Ju-
ly, (being the earliest day after the 30 days fixed by the deed
of settlement.) The directors stated that, as they had no
doubt they should be in sufficient funds, they proposed the
re-opening of the bank on the 15th of July, under the new
style of "The Cheshire and Staffordshire Banking Company."
This gave considerable satisfaction, and additional directors
were chosen, and Nicholas Price Wood, Esq. of Burslem,
was unanimously appointed the chairman at the request of
Mr. Holt, the present chairman ofthe directors.—Manches-
ter Guardian.

The Globe has a peculiarly adroit way of abridging its par-
liamentary reports. Witness last night, when it quietly re-
ports that " Several petitions were presented against the
government plan of education." How are the readers of the
Globe to guess that under this little word, " several," is con-
cealed the fact, that 534 petitions were presented? So, last
week in giving the parliamentary report of June 5, the Globe
said, "A large number of petitions in favor of Mr. Rowland
Hill,s plan of a penny postage were presented ; and also seve-
ral against the government plan of education." Could any
reader of the Globe have imagined that the " large number "
of petitions on postage included only 256, while the "several"
against the education scheme amounted to 678 ! Quere—
How far are these practices removed from direct and positive

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF MANUFACTURING DISPATCH
AS CONNECTED WITH RAILWAY TRANS/T.—On Thursday
afternoon last, Mr. W. Taylor, cotton manufacturer, of this
town, purchased a considerable quantity of cotton from
Messrs. Bateson and Sons, Liverpool, which was sent by
Messrs. Tattersall and Clare, Mr. Taylor's brokers, to Mr.
Hargraves, jun. to be conveyed to Preston, by the North
Union Railway, and although it did not actually leave Liver-
pool till after three o'clock yesterday, (Friday morning) it
was delivered at Tulkeith factory at eight minutes past nine
o'clock, and before eleven o'clock, part of it had passed
through the several operations of mixing, scutching, sapping
carding, drawing. slubbing, roving, and spinning. At half_
past eleven o'clock, a portion of it was made into cloth, by
the power loom, and at twenty minutes past four o'clock in
the afternoon, three and a half yards of good, perfect, shirt-
ing cloth was forwarded by Mr. Taylor, to Messrs. Tatter-
sall and Clare, by the train leaving Preston at twenty min-
utes past four, and would in course be delivered to them before
seven o'clock the same evening. We have no doubt but that
this morning, (Saturday) hundreds of grntlemen on 'Change
will have an opportunity of seeing cloth, the weft of which
was made from cotton that had been conveyed from LiverpoOl
to Preston and back, (eighty miles, including the distance
from the delivering station to the factory) and had passed
through the various operations necessary for its production,
in the short space of fifteen hours, after deducting one hour
for dinner, during which time the manufactory was not at
work, and this was done without any extraordinary hurt),
or exertion. From the foregoing, it appears that the time
occupied in the whole of the operations, from the first open-
ing the cotton bags to the production of several yards of the
fabric, was somewhat under six working hours. How forcibly
does this fact remind us that we live in an age of enterprise--
in the very millennium of railway velocity. Last evening a
dress was worn by the weaver of the cloth, produced from the
same raw material sent from Liverpool yesterday morning.—
Preston Chronicle, of Saturday.
The late advance in the value of money for commercial
purposes has not any chance for the present of being in the
slightest degree moderated. The demand for temporary aid,
in the shape of commercial discounts, has rather increased,
and many have been rejected to-day. It is, therefore, gene-
rally understood that the bank are driving their screw rather
closer upon the commercial interests. We have some reason,
however, to believe, that the bills rejected to-day would, for
the major portion, come under that objectionable class of
paper to which we have lately referred ; at the same time,
the influence of this pressure must now be soon seriously
felt by all classes of traders. In fact it is within proof, that
the late mad speculations in corn and cotton have, up to the
present moment, deprived the bank of the positive power of
controlling the continental changes, and results of those
speculations are at present paralyzing our manufacturing and
commercial interests through the more potent influence of a
restricted money market equally with the counteracting exer-
tions of the great leviathan itself. The bank has undoubt-
edly, brought itself into this predicament by its by-gone
artial countenance of a few overdone houses in the United
States trade, thus raising up a system equally obnoxious to
the permanent security of the commercial interests of, the
country, as it is and has been to the best interests. of thit
institution.—iferald.
