MEETING OF THE COMMERCIAL
ASSOCIATIONS.

On Tuesday last, at two o'clock, delegates from these
Associations met, to have submitted to their examination
the clause of the amended fire prevention bill.
There were representatiyes present from the American,
East India, West India, General Brokers, Cotton Brokers,
Mediterranean, Brazilian, and Grocers' Association. Wm.
Brown, Esq., again presided.
Mr. DuNcaN, the clerk, then read the bill with the
various alterations and amendments proposed in it, after
which the CHAIRMAN called upon the gentlemen to state
their objections to any of the clauses.
Mr. PILCHER thought that in clause 18, which required
that all warehouse doors and windows should be closed
during the night, there should be an exemption made with
regard to the perishable articles, such as green fruit.
Some gentlemen said that ;corn was exempted in the
manner proposed, and, after some little discussion, it was
resolved to recommend to the Fire Committee, that green
fruit and corn should be placed exactly on the same foot-
ing in the bill.
Mr. TODD proposed, that saltpetre and nitrate of soda
should be on no account warehoused in other than de-
tached warehouses and sheds, and where no other goods
or merchandise might de deposited. Mr. CROSFIELD
seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.
Mr. TODD then proposed, that palm oil, tallow, and
lard should be included in the list of articles to be de-
posited in fire-proof warehouses only. After some trifling,
discussion, the motion was negatived ; and, on the sug-
gestion of Mr. VERTCE, cocoa nut oil, in consequence of
its solid form, was recommended to be classed with palm
oil and tallow.

Mr. TODD said, that in the bill there were only pro-
visions as regarded the buildings of new warehouses ; but
as to the removal of d Ingerous buildings and dangerous
trades from the proximity of warehouses there was not one
word. He, therefore, proposed, that it be a recommen-
dation to the Fire Committee to seek for power for the
Corporation to remove, on compensation, dangerous tra-
des and buildings from the prozimity of warehouses. A
brief discussion took piace, after which the motion was
carried unanimously.
Mr. RATHBONE then proposed that the Corporation
should seek power, in case of buildings in narrow streets
being burnt or taken down, to widen the street, on com-
pensation being made. This recommendation was car-
ried unanimously, as was another recommendation, that
bottling cellars and sailmakers should be included in the
iiot of ciail:.,:rous trades.
Mr. TODD said the bill before them was in such a dis-
jointed state that he thought they had better adjourn un-
til they could get a printed copy.
The meeting then adjourned.

A further meeting of the deputations from the associa-
tions was held on Saturday, at two o'clock, to consider
the propriety of presenting a requisition to the Mayor to
call a meeting to concert measures for carrying into effect
the resolution of the deputations on the subjecf of dock
warehouses. William Brown, Esq., presided,
In the course of a desultory conversation that took
place at the commencement of the meeting, it was stated
that the deputations had, before the Fire Committee,
yielded to the wishes of the warehouse owners to appoint
their own porters. In answer to a question from Mr
MYERS, Mr. DUNCAN stated that owners and buyers of
goods and parties accompanying them, and samplers, and
the servants of owners, having the permission of such
owners, would at all times have access to the goods.
Mr. GILL said he was informed that there were only
two insurance offices in London that would take insurances
in St. Katharine's Dock. The Albion was one, and, he
believed, they were interested in that dock. The act had
been in force two years, and there were only three more
years to run, so that no benefit could accrue if they pro-
cured the alteration. Mr. Gill proceeded to contend, at
some length, that, as a compromise had been effected with
the warenouse owners, they ought not, as British mer-
chants, to seek to violate a contract. Mr. Gill also urged
on the attention of the delegates the danger to the ship-
ping, if fire should break out in one of the warehouses.
They might make the warehouses fire-proof, but they
could not make cotton fire-proof, and what would be the
position of the shipping, if flakes of burning cotton were
flying about amongst them? If fire were to break out i❑
St. Katharine's Dock, what would become of the shipping?
He would be glad to see more warehouses built, but this
was an extraordinary year for produce, arid they were not
likely to have so much next year. Mr. Gill concluded by
moving the previous question.
After a short discussion the representatives of the West
India and General Brokers' Association voted for the
amendment, all tde other associations against it.
The original motion was put, when the representatives
of the American Chamber of Commerce, of the East
India Association, of the Cotton Brokers' Association,
of the Mediterranean Association, of the Brazilian Asso-
ciation, and of the Grocers' Association voted for the
requisition, and the representatives of the West India and
General Brokers' Association against it.
The Chairman signed the requisition, and the meeting
separated.

The annual Chester Regatta is appointed for Thursday
the 10th of August.

The magistrates assembled at the Cheshire Quarter
Sessions, held at Knutsford, on Monday, proceeded to
examine the testimonials of the candidates for the office
of chaplain for Knutsford Gaol. The Rev. J. Mitchell,
assistant curate of Ilabergham Eaves, was the successful
candidate.
THE CHESHIRE MAGISTRACY AND SIR J. GRA-
, HAM.—At the Cheshire Quarter Sessions, on Monday,
the chairman complained of a gross misrepresentation on
the part of the press, with reference to himself. It had
been that at the last sessions he had said to the magistrates
that he would put it to them whether Sir J. Graham's
letter deserved an answer. He declared upon his honour
he did not say so. Several magistrates confirmed this
remark, Mr. France declaring that the chairman's words
were " It is my duty to ask you if this letter requires any
answer." A long discussion then took place and was
terminated by five fresh magistrates being added to the
list of visiting justices, and Mr. Henry Marsland stated
that he should bring on a motion respecting the dismissal
of the gaoler at another meeting.
AGRICULTURE.—MEETING AT DENBIGH.—On Wed-
nesday last a meeting was held in the county hall, Den-
bigh, convened on the requisition of about fifty tenant-
farmers, principally occupying farms in the Vale of
Clwyd, " for the purpose of taking into consideration
the present unprecedented depressed state of agriculture,
and the meuns best adopted to procure that protection to
its labour and capital which their great importance de-
mand." The landowners were invited to attend, and
Lord Dungannon and George Griffith, Esq., of Garn,
were prerent. The meeting was a thin one, J. J. Probe,
Esq., mayor of Denbigh, was elected to the chair. Messrs.
Boult and Rawlins, of Liveapool, intruded their presence
upon the meeting, and Lord Dungannon consequently
withdrew, declaring, that the interference of the league
altogether changed the character of the meeting. A reso-
lution was proposed for the protection of agriculture and
in opposition to free trade, but an amendment in favour
of a fixed duty on corn was eventually carried.
CHESHIRE EXPENDITURE.—At the Quarter Sessions,
on Monday, Mr. Potts brought before the court the state
of the county expenditure, and the rating. He stated
that he had now in hand a balance of £2,424 18s. 9d.
The assets he calculated thus, for this quarter :—Balance
in hand, £2,424; county rate of id., £3,222; River
Weaver, £3,000 ; constabulary rate, :.£1,494 ;
£435 ; fines, £345 ; repayment, £lOO ; total, £11,020.
The expenditure thus :—Bridges, £430 ; general payments,
£5,154; house of correction new buildings, £7O; prose-
cutions, sessions, £1,602 •, prosecutions, assizes, £1,300 ;
advance to gaoler, £100; total £8,656. This would
leave a balance in hand of about £2,364. He expected
the assets for the October quarter to he as follow :—Ba-
lance in hand, £2,364 ; Lords of Treasury, £3,517 ;
River Weaver, £2,000 ; fines, £395 ; repayment, £lOO ;
total, £8,376. Tho expenditure would probably be :
Bridges, £550; general payments, £5,649; house of cor-
rection buildings, £350; prosecutions, sessions, £2,586;
advaace to gaoler, £100; total, £9,235. Which would
leave a balane against the county of £859. A county rate
of one farthing in the pound for the October quarter was
then ordered.
REBECCA ANECDOTES.—When the Reccabites, in
their attack on the Carmarthen Workhouse, saw the Dra-
goons surrounding the place, the terror which prevailed
among them is inconceivable, and does not at all accord
with the usual boastings of this lawless heroine in her
midnight visits. The rabble that wereinclosed within the
walls of the Workhouse, and expected nothing but in-
stant death, and one man actually fell down flat on his
face where he remained a considerable time, that he might
not see the Dragoons cutting off his head • and groups of
women and boys were seen huddled together, praying fer
vently for death to relieve them, rather than they should
fall into the hands of the soldiers, and be killed by them.
When the rioters that had been captured at the Work-
house were placed in a row, to afford a better opportunity
of indentifying them, one of the gang was so much terri-
fied that he asked the person next to him, what they
were going to do with them. The persona ddressed hap-
pened to be a wag, and had seen some service in the Pe-
ninsula, answered that they were so placed, that the sol-
diers might kill them all with one shot. The terrified
Bebeccaite, with a horrid scream, jumped out of the line ;
and it was with the utmost difficulty he could be again
prevailed upon to stand by the side of his companions.
One of the fortunate persons who escaped over the wall,
made the best use of his legs to reach home ; but on the
way, when he was nearly out of breath, and the terror of
the Dragoons full in his mind, he heard a tremendous
rush through the hedge just by his side, when he screa-
med out, " Quarter, quarter, for God's sake don't kil
me !" and fell down fainting to the ground, thinking that
one of the Dragoons had followed him ; but when he ven-
tured to look up, be saw that the unwelcome intruder was
a fellow-fugitive on horseback, who was then nearly out
of sight. Many reached home with scarcely a rag upon
them, having left their clothes in the hedges through
which they had to pass.

A WORTHLESS WIFE.—On Thursday afternoon an in-
quest was held before Mr. C. J. Carttar, on view of the
body of S. J. Wardell, aged 58, residing at No. 64, Old
King-street, Deptford. It appeared by the evidence that
the deceased had been labouring under disease of the
chest. On Tuesday one of the parish surgeons visited
the deceased, but the female was so drunk he could not
elicit from her any facts connected with the state of the
deceased, but told her to send for some medicine, which,
however, she did not. Mr. Archer, one of the overseers,
had also given a medical order, but she put it on the
mantelshelf, and went out, got drunk, and forgot it, i❑
consequence of which the unfortunate man died. The
jury returned a verdict " That the deceased died from
natural causes," but most severely condemned the con-
duct of the wife, who gave evidence. She was seriously
admonished by the coroner.
