the several metrap' Iian parishes on the
Surrey side OF the Thames having resolved

have taken alarm at the announcement
took place on Tuesday evening at tn, sign
of the Prince William Henry, Bermond>ev
street. About 90 shavers had assembled
an hour and IA half after the appointed line
for commencing business, which however
was still longer delayed in consequence Of
the general attachment they evlnced to
the pot and the pipe. A, length having

rendered them nearly Invisible to each
