LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
T BEG to offer myself again to your notice as a CANDI-

to your Charitp, vacant through the sudden and lamentable
death of Dr. Malins.
Having, for the last twelve years, directed my attention

unworthy of your support.
With a grateful remembrance of past favours,
I have the honour to remain,

Your obedient Servant,

R. DAVID CHALMERS, EVERTON. begs to offer
I I himself as a CANDIDATE for the Office of SUR-
GEON, vacant by the sudden and lamented death of Dr.
Matins.
Mr. C. has had practical experience in this branch of his
profession for the last twelve years.
Enerton, February 28.

A bundle of bank notes, to the amount of £1,900, which
ago,
took on the table of a gentleman in Limerick, a few days
took fire by accidental communication with the candle, a
nd
d
the owner being short sighted, did not apprehend the dan-
ger until they were almost wholly consumed.
A meeting of the London and Westminster Bank was held
on Wednesday last. The profits for the year amounted to
£54,843 18s. 11d., and out of this a dividend of six per cent.
per annum had been paid for the half. year ending 30th June
last, and a similar dividend was declared for the last half
year.
REPEAL OF THE UNION.—Tuesday last was signalised in
the municipal annals of Dublin by the motion of Mr. Alder-
man O'Connell in favour of a repeal of the union. The
learned alderman occupied four hours and a half in the re-
delivery of all the speeches he has ever spoken on the sub-
ject; and the best part of the day being thus worn out, little
or nothing could be heard but the reply of Mr. Alderman
Butt. On the rising of Mr. Guinness to address the house,
it was then found too late to continue the discussion, and an
adjournment to Wednesday was the consequence. On the
latter day Alderman Guinness seconded the amendment of
Alderman Butt, and the debate was proceeding when the
Dublin evening papers of Wednesday went to press.
In the course of Tuesday morning, and the preceding
evening, seven men were taken into custody by the Glasgow
police, on a very serious charge of grain stealing. Five of
the prisoners were the responsible keepers of three extensive
stores in Glasgow and suburbs, and the remaining two are a
baker and a person in his employment. The length of time
during which this system of theft has been going on is not
known, but it is believed that the gross amount of which the
factors have been robbed is very extensive. From the confi-
dential character of the men who have given way to dishonest
practices, no suspicion was attached to them ; the more
especially as they had it in their power to send away cart-
loads of wheat in the open day, which was ground into flour,
and afterwards disposed of for their advantage.
THE MINT.--By a parliamentary paper issued on Monday
morning, respecting the transactions of the mint during
the year ending December 31, 1842, it appears-1. That
£194,229 Os. 6d. were issued out of the consolidated fund for
the purchase of bullion for coinage. 2. That the total
amount of purchases of silver bullion and dollars was
£191,924 18s. 2id., the mint value of which, at 6Gs. per lb.
Troy, was £208,746 2s. Ind., showing a seingnorage differ-
ence between market and mint value of £18,664 2s. 31d. 3.
Old worn silver coin from the Bank of England purchased
£18,157 2s. sd. ; showing
for re-coinage, nominal value, £20,000 ; mint val
of
ue,
£1,842 17s. 7d. 4. Copper bullion purchased, £499125. 2d. ;
a loss on the purchase
mint value at £224 per ton, £1,189 3s. ; seignorage,
£689 10s. 10d. 5. The silver and copper coin delivered into
the mint-office amounted to £192,852 of silver, and £1,344
of copper. 6. Payments of silver and copper coin weie
£190,472 13s, 3d. 7. Payments made into the exchequer
out of cash received for silver and copper monies,
£175,317 Os. 4d.
THE NEW GOVERNOR OF VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—At a
meeting of the Warwickshire Conservative Association, con-
vened upon the retirement from the reps, sen-•itioD of the
county of Sir Eardley Wilmot, Bart., who has acce,,ted the
office of Governor of Van Diemen's Land, a vote of thanks
to Sir Eardley was proposed by James Lloyd, Esq., and
voted to him enthusiastically by
uniform steady the msociation, for h S
support of the conservative cause, and for tl e
great services he has rendered the county during the ten
years he has represented it in parliament. The hon. harem t
has for a longer period filled the important office of chain an
f the Warsviclismre Quarter ::,essimis, wid in the discharge
of its delicate judicial duties, as well as those which embrace
the administration of the county funds, he has ever united
the testimony of all parties in approbation
ins of histution conduct.
He is a liberal supporter of every ti in his
neighbourhood, and long will his absence from lierkswell

vices, and whose sorrow at losing him is only alleviated bya

government of this rising colony to Sir E. Wilmot, govern-

4, sir,—As lam informed that you live ingood circum-
stances at Plymouth, I have drawn upon •
)ou for the sum of
12s. 6d. payable to Mr. Grinsell Thomson. But •
debt of long standing, you may have perhaps as it is a
forgot the cir-
cumstances, though, when I mention the particulars, you
may recollect the truth of the charge.
„ it happened, in the year 1741, that
condemned to death, at the Mci ar 1 you were tried and
assizes at Shrewsbury,
for the murder of your wife. In such a dreadful Y'
situation,
you stood in need of a coffin, as the surgeons in those days
bad no legal right to the body, as they now have.
,•ffi
I sold and delivered you a con, handsomely mounted
with brass nails, in the jail-yard. Some time after this your
good friends procured you a respite,
made use of the coffin by dressin
sheet, and showing hint as re gPP a fellow in a white
presenting yourself after you
were hanged. After that play was over, by way of farce,
you converted the coffin into racket.,
and used them at play,
till such time as you were transported, and so made a very
pretty hand of my coffin.
As you have now returned, and in good circumstances,
the
I have drawn upon you for
will consider me something for
i saidtter 12s. 6d., and hope you
est.
I am, sir, your mostnobed•
obedient servant
and coffin-maker,
