They resolved : —

      That no Government is leg itimate unless it represents tbe national idea of the people over whose collective life it presides , and be freely recognised by tbat people : Tbat the natfonandea of Rome is now . incontestably that of Independence , ef Liberty , and of Ita'ian Unity : That the present Government of Rome , implinted aad maintained by the force of foreign arms oii the ruins of the People ' s Republic , does not _represent that idea : Considering , also _. That for the speedy development and forthe ulti . mate triumph of the national idea , the unification , and the regular action of all the elements now isolated and deprived of a common direction are req * iired :

      That this object can only be attained by tbe institution of a central directing body : _Tiat it little matters where such central body exists izd . acts , provided only that the idea and the future of tise nation be better represented and promoted by it than by any of the existing Governments : Considering , lastly , " ' That misfortune and exile do not lessen or interrupt tbe ri g hts and duties of a People and its representatives , but confirm and sanction them :

      We , R ? presentatives of the People , Members of the Roman Constituent Assembly , obey ing the voice of onr consciences , and mindful of the wants of the nation , constitute provisionally , and until the People shaft be enabled freely to manifest- its wisbe * , an Italian National Committee , composed of the following citizens : — Joseph _Maazini , ex-triumvir of tbe Roman _"Repnblic , Aurelib Saffi , idem , Mattia _Montecchi , idem / in the Executive . Committee of the Roman Republic .

      And we entrust them with the mandate , and confer upon them the power of Contracting a Loan in tie name of the Roman People , and in behalf of the National cause ; and generally of promoting , by every useful political or financial aet , the reestablishment in Rome of the _legitimate authority oi the _People—empowering tbem loadd to their number , ii necessary , tb or more other Italian citizen?—and appealing to all true Italians to assist them by every possible means in the execution of tbeir labour , and to conform themselves , as much as passible , to any regulations tney may issue in tbe interest of tbe nation at large . The . Committee says : —

      . This honourable mandate wa 3 accepted _, by the three citizens named in the Act , who passed together into exile , whilst circumstances compelled the third Triumvir of tbe Republic to take refuge in another couutry . The elements of action were , as time and means permitted , reorganised : the disbanded ranks of the National party were rallied around a centre . The Act _vras hot published , because , for a mere preparatory labour no mandate was required , except that which the state of the _conntry give 3 to every man endowed with a firm faith , wiih lo _^ e , and vrita a spirit not resigned to slavery ; but it was presented to those cf our scattered brethren with whom it was most _easv to

      communicate ; and the signatures of sixty representatives of the Republic were thus affixed to it , as - well as those of a hundred others belonging to all the Italian provinces and well known to their fellowcitizens by the offices wbich they had filled in the _National Assemblies of Venice , Sicily , and Naples , and in governments favouring the movement of late years , or by their having served in our armies . Our _labours being now more advanced , we think tbe time for its publication has arrived . A period of new . life is now initiated for European Democracy and for tbe just cause of the Peoples : a compact

      bas been entered into between the men of thought and of action , belonging to nations struggling for truth and for eternal right against falsehood and arbitrary power ; and it is important that the Italian National party should now assume a bolder consciousness of itself , of its strength , aud of its mission . The princip les which guide our action are well known . They are included in the limits of our _mauca ' e , and confirmed by multifarious and manifest proofs of the national _will - — _Independence , Liberty , Unification—our object : "War and an Italian _Constituent Assembly—the

      means . The foreigner is encamped on our soil ; we wish to chiS 3 him thence . We are all , more or less , the slaves of Institutions and Governments whicb deaden in U 3 both the dignity and tbe conscience of the _citizsn ; we wish to be free—all of us—free as God has wished us to be . "We are separated from each other by laws , custom-bouses , armies , foreign _Influences , ambitions , and treaties ; and we wish to bs united . ' Tree , united , strong in our brotherhood , we shall provide for our national futnrity according to onr _teno ' ex . cJes , our present conscioasness , and the counsels cf the best amongst ns . Our policy is simple , straightforward , free from sophisms and from every Utopia . It bas prevailed , and will prevail more and more , over ail the studied and complex scheme : of local parties or of sects .

      A single war can save Italy : but it must be a war of all the regular and irregular forces of the _natian , headed by meu of well-tried love of their country ; directed by a supreme power exempt from every _obligation except that of conquering , seeking no reward save that of a pure and satisfied conscience—with no duty entrusted to it save that of _combattiug for the general cause—with no allies save the Peop les in simultaneous movement—with no programme save that of the * Na _tion ? l _Sovereignty . Such a war it snail be our endeavour to promote ; ¦ we will propitiate circumstances , and prepare arms and the co-operation of other Peoples also oppressed , to whom our banner will proclaim , as did that of the Poles , For our and your Liberty . '

      And we alone , untrammelled by the ties or influence of diplomacy , having no other obligation except tbat which we ewe to our country , and no other fear than that of its disapproval , can promote this war . Placed beyond all municipal or provincial spirit , we know only Italians ; wa can best represent the interests , the rights , the hopes , the wars , and tbe destines of tbe nation . Men who are free from all constraint turn their eyes , without

      mistrust or suspicion , npon us in exile . Our banner is one of concord aad of hope to all oppressed nationalities . _Between Rome and Venice , between Pesth aad Milan , between "Venice and Bucharest , dues of one country , the country of _imYryrsand of the believers in one common future , the Italian National Committee is a ready and acceptable link . It is part of a vast chain , extending itself wheresoever the sense of rig ht and faith in eternal justice lives and moves .

A verdict in accordance with this evidence was returned .

      The Late West Riding Delegate Meeting. T...

      THE LATE WEST RIDING DELEGATE _MEETING . TO MB . _MOMAS CLARK . Dear Sib , —It is with pleasure I write to you to state the position in which I was placed at the late assumed West Riding Delegate Meeting at Bradford . In doing so I have to state , that at a special _meetin" ofthe Chartists ofthis locality , held on the ISth of October , to take into consideration the propriety of the proposed Manchester Conference , and to elect a delegate to the Bradford meeting , J was chosen to represent the Chartists of this place at Bradford , and my instructions were approbatory of holding a Conference at Manchester , as soon as possible , and highly disapproving of mixin _g tbe objects ef other movements with that of the _" Charter . I assure you that I supported my instructions to the best of my ability , notwithstanding the letter that was read there , and my having heen appointed Chairman in order tb gag me . You will now understand why the report of the meeting was such as appeared in the Star .

      In conclusion , I have to say that there are many misrepresentations of the people besides those in the Ilouse of Commons . Thanking you for the advocacy of our opinions in your letters , and in the addresses of the Charter League , 7 ' I remain , yours , David Lawson . Lower Warley , November llth .

      The Late Shocking Colliery Accident At H...

      THE LATE SHOCKING COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT HAYDOCK . The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of the ten persons who lest their lives by the accident at a colliery at Haydock , on thc 7 th inst , was resumed on Monday , before John Hayes , Esq ., the district coroner . J . Tremenhere , Esq ., was present as an inspector for the government , under the provisions of the recent act of parliament . —The first witness examined was Thomas Litherland , the underlooker . He stated that there wag great difficulty in preventing the men in the mine from working with lighted candles . It must have been through the negligence of the men that the accident happened . —By Mr . Tremenhere : A government inspector was down in the mine twelve months ago , and the air in the mine was then pure . He did not know whether

      any of the deceased persons could either read or write . —Ralph Ley land , one of the colliers , was the next witness . He was working in the mine at the time the explosion took place . Where he was working he had been through into the " old workings " more than three months . He had never been told not to use candles . —Thomas Greenalg h , another collier , who was also working in the mine when the explosion took place , said he broke through into one of the old workings on the Gth inst . He went close to the old workings the same night with a lamp , and could not bear it near it , the air was so foul . It blew the lamp out . A sheet is generally put over an old working , to prevent the foul air from breaking in when we cut through . No sheet was put over thi 3 working until the following morning . —By Mr . Tremenhere : Whoso duty is it to put a sheet over the old workings when you break

      through ? Why it may be ours : but we had no sheet in the mine at the time . I should think it is the underlooker ' s duty to see that sheets are ready . —How often does the underlooker come into the mine . He has not been into it since we came to that part of the mine . —How long is tbat since ? About a fortnight . —By a Juror : I do not think the air in the mine has been as pure . 13 it should be since I worked there . —By another Juror : Have you ever received orders from the underlooker to give him notice when you come to the old workings ? No . On Monday , he asked me if I was nearly through , and I said no . The underlooker did not give us orders to use lamps when coming to the old workings . —By Mr . Tremenhere ; Do you recollect of any man being turned off for using candles instead of lamps : No . —Do you know of any man using candles instead of lamps after he had been . told not to use candles ? No . —Have

      you ever used candles wben you bave been told to use lamps ? No . Whenever I was told to use lamp 3 I have done so . —By a Juror ; Are you in the habit of using powder in order to get coal ? Yes . —Does the underlooker know that ? Yes , I suppose so . —When did you use powder last ? On Monday . —By the Coroner * . I do not think the powder I used on Monday week would split into the old workings . —Would it not shake them ? No , they were two cr three yards thick . —Ralph Ellam , another collier , who was in the mine when thc accident took place , gave similar evidence to the preceding . —Litherland , the overlooker , was here re-called , and was _interrogated at some length by Mr . Tremenhere . —By Mr . Tremenhere : You wore aware that there was an

      accumulation of gas in the old _workings . Yes , but it was impossible , ' for it tp get into tbe mine where the men were working until they bad cut through the old workings . —But the moment they had cut through the gas would escape , and an explosion might take place if it was not stopped up 1 Yes . —Ought not it to be stopped up at once ? Yes it is the duty of the men to put a sheet over it . —How often do you go down into the mine ? Why , there are several mines , and I go from one to another . —Have you been a fireman ? No . —Then several days might elapse before you inspected the mine ? No , not more than two or three . —The Coroner : I thought it was usual for a man to go over a coal mine every morning , before the men went to work , to see if the mine was safe ?

      Well , sir , it has never been the ease in our mines . — A Juror : I am of opinion that tho strictest regulations as to lamps ought to be enforced . —The Coroner : Why , I have no doubt that the presence of the government inspector will lead to some such regulation . —Mi * . Tremenhere here remarked that the inspectors , under the recent act of parliament , had not yet been appointed . Had these appointments been made , he had no doubt that a practical man , much better acquainted with mining operations than himself , would have been present , and that a searching inquiry into the actual state and management of the mine would have been instituted . As it was , he hoped that the present inves _* * tigation would cause several alterations to be made in the management of the mine . For instance , he

      was strongly of opinion that there ought to be a fireman , whose duty it should be to see that the mine was safe before the workmen entered it , and who _Bhould also be eonstantly on the look out in the mine . The use of lock-up lamps also ought to be ri gidly enforced . —The jury then returned a verdict of ¦* Accidental death , " and , by direction of the coroner , Mr . Evans , the proprietor of the mine , was sent for . On his arrival , the Coroner informed him of the suggestions made by Mr . Tremenhere _^ and urged upon him the necessity of carrying out those suggestions for the purpose of ensuring increased protection to tbe lives of the men employed in the mine . He also considered that a code of rules should be drawn up for the general management of the mine , similar to those in force at other collieries in the neighbourhood . —The inquiry then terminated .

      Hajstwig Vox Blucher, A German Naturalis...

      Hajstwig Vox Blucher , a German naturalist , has introduced a heated roller in Scbthnd , which being passed over the land burns the weeds , and furnishes in the ashes an excellent manure . Caution to TnE Prauc—No sooner is a medicine well _established in public favour tban a host of imitators spring up , who , for the sake of profit uot only wrong the proprietor of the genuine medicine , but inflict a serious injury on the unwary purchaser of their base counterfeit trash . These remarks apply to the remedy which is so well known as _Aberketiiy ' s Pile Oiktmext . This excellent remedy for Piles has been established by _undoubted proofs ofits efficacy . Purchasers may be ahle to detect these frauds by asking particularly for Abernethy ' s File Ointment , in covered pots , price 4 s .

Ingredients , ) and obserre the name of C . _lungis on the government stamp , pasted round each pot . _fcunerers from Files will not repent giving the Ointment a

      MANSION-HOUSE . ' —The . Lord ; Mayor took , the chair in the Justice-room at twelve o ' clock precisely at which hour the police ' business .. of the large and important district , . from , which cases , are referred to the Chief Magistrate will _henceforward _, commence . —His lordship said before he began the duties of his office he considered it to be necessary to state that he was anxious to adopt facilities of accommodating merchants , bankers , and traders ; and that he Should , for the purpose of effecting that Object , punctually attend ' at the Mansion-house tO affix the City seal and . his signature , to documents requiring such authority ; and ,. further , that when Justice-room matters detained him beyond the later hour , he should continue to perform that duty _down of

      to tbe moment of quitting so important a branpb . his public duties . _PidiPOCKEis at " the Lobd _Matoh ' _s " _PnoCISSlCij —Several young men were brought before his lordship upon charges of having picked the pockets of gentlemen of- silk handkerchiefs onthe day of the mayoralty procession , in Cheapside and other places , in which the activity of Haydon , Fuhnell , Trew , Huggett , and other experienced officers was strongly displayed . But few prosecutors attended , the gentlemen who were robbed having ' preferred the loss oftheir property to the loss . of their time . —His lordship committed the delinquents for various terms proportioned to their experience in the art , and discharged one , the evidence being in his opinion not quite conclusive of ihe prisoner ' s guilt or showing a possibility of innocence .

      „ Stone _Thbovtiso . —A boy who is in the habit of holding horses atthe Bank was charged with having wounded a gentleman named W . Owen Tucker under the eye with a stone . —Mr .. . Tucker said that as he was passing through _Threadneedle-streeb on Saturday , the defendant filing a stone which struck and cut him under the eye . If the missile had hit him a little hi g her no _ssill could , as a professional gentleman told him , have saved his eye . There were two boys near the witness at the time the mischief was done , and the defendant said that he had meant the stone for one of them . Two . persons who seemed to be very'desirous for the liberation of tho defendant , offered the witness twenty shillings and forty shillings to let the lad _; go j and when they

      found that their offer was treated with contempt treated the gentleman with great insolence . —The boy said he really did not mean to do the slightest injury to anybody ; and the complainant said that perhaps his lordship would consider the imprisonment from Saturday to Monday to be a lesson sufficiently sharp for his dangerous . frolic—The Lord Mayor said , the practice was one of _exceedingly great danger , particularly in a thoroughfare of the City of London , and he could not think of discharging the defendant without payment of the penalty of 10 s . under the Police Act , or fourteen days ' hard labour . f 77 .. Serious Charok aoaissi a Regent-. Street TRAnESMAX . —Mr . E . Williams , of No . 211 , Regentstreet , was charged before the Lord Mayor under

      the following circumstances . — Mr . George A . Northover , in the employment of Messrs ,. Watts ,, of No . 6 , Gutter-lane , Cheapside , silk warehousemen , said on Friday evening , theSth inst ., between seven and nine o ' clock there was stolen from our warehouse about sixty pieces , of p lain and fancy ; silks value between £ 500 and £ 600 . They were twentyfour inches wide and from twelve to eighty yards . in length . At a quarter to seven o ' clock the . porter anofl went through the premises and left all right . . The porter locked the warehouse door and the hall door . . We occupy the ground floor . —The Lord Mayor : Was nobody left in the house to watch it ? Witness : Nobody . 1 should know the silks again if I saw them ; they are of so peculiar a character .

      They were made for us , and not for any other persons in the trade . I have seen the pattens ofsome of the silks , but not the bulk . —The policeman who apprehended the prisoner here produced twentytwo patterns of fancy silks . —Witness : I believe these to be patterns of some of the goods which were lost . —The Lord Mayor : Are you sure that these goods were made exclusively for your house ? Witness : Yes . We have also lost goods of several other patterns . —The Lord Mayor * . Have , you any knowledge of the prisoner ? Witness : None whatever . —The lord Mayor : What are the prices of the pieces which you have lost , and of -which these are patterns ? . Witness : From Ss . to ; -is . Cd _., a yard , with the exception of one piece . —Mr . John

      Edmonds : I am in the employment of Messrs . Shoolbred and Co ., Tottenham-court-road , drapers , I am a buyer for the house . On Monday evening at five o ' clock 1 was called by Mr . Brown , one of tbe partners of the firm , and introduced to Mr . Williams , as having a . lot of . silks to sell , of which he had brought patterns . I saw the patterns and asked about the price .. The prisoner said he had them to sell for a party , who stated at first that the price was 2 s ., but afterwards that ls . Od . was the price , and that if ' that , price would not answer he would take an offer , and that the silks were to be sold that evening , Mr . Brown said to Mr . Williams , if we buy these silks , who do we buy them of ? are we to bu y them of you ? The prisoner said ,

      "Yes . " Mr , Brown said . vrill it do to let you know in an hour and a half ? Mr . Williams replied in the affirmative , and appointed his house , No . 211 , Regent-street , for the place of meeting ; and he said to me , " Tako care of these patterns ; don ' t lot any one see them . " I looked atthe patterns , and having seen things of the kind , at Messrs . Watts and Co . ' s at -3 s . Id . some time before , I thought it to be my duty to go round to tho house , to make inquiry , which I accordingly did . Mr . Shoolbred went . with me , and , having communicated with the house , we afterwards communicated with tho police . At halfpast six , the appointed time , . Mr .. Shoolbred went with me to Mr . Williams , and we asked him whether we could see the goods . Mr . Williams saidfNo , he

      had only got the patterns . Wo asked him if . the length were regular ; and he said they were long lengths , and that the shortest was forty yards . Mr . Shoolbred said , " . Whose are the goods ? Whero are they ? ' ! Mr . Williams said— "I am a kind of an agent employed to sell tho goods for a party , and if you particularly wish to see the party , I shall go on and let you know all the particulars in the course of an hour . " We then left the place , and Mr . Williams came accordingly in the course of aa hour . He then said he knew nothing more of tho , party than that he had left the patterns . —Inspector Mitchell ; The prisoner , upon being questioned about the parties for whom he acted , could g ive no

      description of them . All he could say was that one was a tall man and the other was a . stout man , and he declared that lib knew nothing at all about them . —Mr . Clarkson asked the Lord Mayor to accept of bail for the appearance of the prisoner . —The Lord Mayor said , the prisoner had declared himself to the parties to whom he went to sell the articles of which he produced the . samp les as a kind of agent to those who were anxious , to dispose of them , and offered to satify all tho inquiries of the former , and he afterwards denied all knowledge of his employers . His lordship then stated that he would take bail , but it must be unexceptionable bail , in two sureties of £ 250 _eaCh , and the pr ' soner himself in the sum of £ 500 , to appear on a future day . —The prisoner was then remanded .

      GUILDHALL . — Charge of Uttering Base Coix . —Josep h Thomas Bethell Jones was _cvarged with misdemeanour . —William Moody , landlord of the White Swan , Salisbury-court , Fleet-street , stated that about a quarter beforo twelve on Sunday night prisoner entered his house and called for fourpenny worth of gin and water , which he drank at thenar . He then gavo witness ' s wife a shilling , and she was about to give him the change- when she discovered it was a bad one . She communicated the fact to her husband ( witness ) , and he tried it in the counterfeit coin detector , affixed to the counter , and bent it like a thin piece of lead . Witness threw it on the counter , and told the prisoner it was not a good one , and he put into his pocket , and

      took out a sixpence and paid for what he had had to . drink . Mr . Howell , ; the landlord of the Savoy , in Savoy-street , Strand , happening , to be at the bar at the same time , told witness not to let . prisoner go , as be had every reason to believe that he was a regular smasher , in spite of his respectable appearance . Witness , in consequence , gave him into custody ; and subsequently ascertained that prisoner went to tbe Savoy , in company with a friend , about a month ago , and tendered a bad half-crown there , but was let go on tbe faith of his own representation that it was a mistake . About three days after prisoner called again , and tendered another halfcrown , which was also found to bo bad , and he was accordingly given into custody , and taken before

      the magistrate at Bow-street . The charge was ultimately withdrawn , in consequence of prisoner ' s begging the prosecutor to consider his position in life , and the disgrace that would be attached to his family if such _. a thing were brought before tho public . —Alderman Challis : What have you to say to the charge . ?—Prisoner : I can assure you , sir , that I am innocent . I am very highly connected . My father , whoso namo is . the same as my own , is a gentleman of considerable property , residing at Sible Hedingham , in Essex . I have always borne a good character , and can refor you to very respectable parties , who will confirm what I say Tho prisoner then referred tho alderman to several of tho

      magistrates at Sible Hedingham for his oharacter ; also to Mrs . Phillips , of 2 ( 3 , _Jermyn-street , and Mr . Chapman , of the Athenjoum Club-house , and further stated that every member of the Athonroum knew him , and would be able to speak as to his respectability . —Alderman Challis said he would remand the case until Saturday next , for the Solicitor for the Mint to attend and prosecute . He hoped that the prisoner would then avail himself of tho opportunity to refute the charge . —Remanded accordingly . .: ' •• : ¦ . _*¦ _BOW-STREET _.-MnRDERous AssAULT .-James Wright , gardener , in the employ of J .

      until the publication would be completed . Defendant soon after entered the room , and witness asked for an account of the money which he ( Dillon ) had received for the publication that morning . Defendant refused to render any account , and said he would disburse the money as ho . thought proper . Defendant then , without any provocation from witness , said in an angry manner ,. ' . ' You are a dreadful villain , " - of which witness took no notice .

      defendant asked him to shake hands , and to this he said he had no objection , He held out his hand , upon which the defendant laid hold of him b y his waistcoat and shirt , and forced him back rudely towards . the stairs .

The defendant , in answer to the charge , said that the complainant was mistaken as to the identity of his asssailant . He ( "defendant ) was in Brighton at the time of thc alleged assault , and if the case was adjourned he could produce the evidence of members of his family , and his servants , to prove that fact . —The complainant obstinately adhered to his original statement , and Mr .

Trades and Chartist bodies was held on Monday evening , at the Fraternal Home and Lecture Hall , Turnmill-street , Clerkenweil , to hear the . report of the provisional committee , and to elect a permanent committee to devise means for the support of the refugees . The chair was taken . by Mr . R . Martin , at half-past eight o ' clock , when about 200 persons were present . —Mr . Ladd moved ' the following resolution : — " Thai ; the Refugee Provisional Committee ; are respectfully invited to submit to this meeting an account of their income and expenditure sinctltheii * aeeession to ofiice . "—Mi * . Luke King seconded the motion . —Mr . Wheeler stated , that it was impossible the committee could comply with their request . They knew nothing of the time , or place ot" this meeting until they saw the advertisement in the

      Northern Star . He had audited the accounts ofthe secretary and treasurer , and had found them perfectly correct ; but there were still several accounts to audit , and , during an early part of the _ensuing week , they intended to call a public meeting , and lay the accounts . before them . He strongly impressed upon them tbe necessity of being united among themselves . —Messrs . Brown and Slocombe supported similar views . —Messrs . . Knight aad Claxton defended the steps taken by the Trades ' Committee , as did also one of the Polish brethren , in a rather lengthy address . —Mr . Hunniball moved , and Mr . Bloomfield seconded , a motion fov adjourn * ment until the ori g inal committee were prepared to report . —Mr . Dido gave his opinion as to a superior plan of organisation . —The Committee of the Trades body withdrew the original resolution in favour of the motion for an adjournment . —A Tele then moved as an amendment : — ' That the

      The Glass in ihe Hyde Park Building . - In the original design great care was taken in deciding on the material to ue employed . In the first instance glass for the roof was specified , 2 ioz . to the foot ; this , after due deliberation , not being deemed strong enough for ordinary contingencies , was increased to SOoz to tho foot , the moat competent judges being of opinion that thinner glass would _notbesafo . _ In adopting Mr . Paxton ' s design one would imagine the building committee considered thatthey were relieved from further responsibility , as the glass now specified for the structure is of the cheapest and commonest description , viz ., sheen glass 18 ounces to the footor one-sixteenth of au

      , inch thick—an article quite unfit for any roof , especially in sizes 49 inches by 10 inches , such as are employed . Thero is not a similar instance of cheap glazing many third class-building to be found ; the _irst respectable hailstorm would demolish the whole , if not protected by the canvass outside , but which could not be permanent "? retained . The whole cost of tho glass will be only £ 10 , W _0-Surely out of £ 150 , 000 to be paid for the buildinjf , if . ifc remain , something better could have beea offered in tho glass way . —The Builder . Austria . —On the 27 th u ! t . an ' enormous mass of earth fell from the summit of the Semniering , on tho outskirts of Lower Austria . A considerable

      portion ofthe Vienna Railway , now under construc tion on that point , was buried under it , together _va ta labourers at work on the spot . Measures were immediately taken to rescue them , but . of the twelve found hitherto , only five are alive , one of whom is considered in great _danger . Note This . '—The Small _Tj-semenw Rating Act , says the Gateshead Observer , has raised the vaiui _* - tion ofthe Monkwearmouth shore from £ 8 , 417 to £ 15 , 344 , and reduced the rate from fifteen pence in the pound to eight pence .
