But I have hopes /list those Gentlemen whom I have the honour to Antim..., and my countrymen of every rank, will be lieve the to have acted Ilion a sense of public duty, and that toy sentiments are grounded on a convic tion that the interest of one is the interest of all, and that Providence suffers no class of society to rem, lien/trowel advantage in the depression of its fellow'. Provost CARLILIt staid it was with the greatest rEffitlence he rose to 'give his opinion on this very rinportant subject, especially after the able and powerful speech orfhe Hon. Member. There were ;'S tills country two classes, which were called the landed and manufacturing interests, and by a concateicition of events they were both on the de • tine. Since 1810 hooded property had sunk in value nue-fourth, mid the tame might be said of ' rt ititificturing property. 'rite) , all knew bow this lad occurred. Before the late war the value of laud vr.is moderate, when compared with what it rose to doting the war. At that time the labourers were all etn e loyed, and well paid, end every thin went on smoothly and happily. The nominal value of property had now fallen about SO per cent.; and since the peace we had lost that commercial mono roly we had formerly enjoyed. The nations have all concurred in the (rammer system too much— , hey are all so deeply involved to it that it would tie very difficult to return to a free trade. Such were the industry and skill of our workmen, the in genuity and ereerprise of our merchants, and the l ierrection of our machinery, that this country had • tithing to fear from a free trade. There was one ireat bar in die way of a free trade, however, and tiai was a natioual debt of eight heredred millious, t`ie interest of which was thirty millions, and other twenty millions were annually requited to inert the vieencie• of the State. There are may two ways ri ..hitch this gre4 burden can be lessened. 'rite iii•l is by economy, anti lie was gird that principles tect hero adopted at the red of last Session of Per i 11114.1 tie trusted the Mististers at the begin s t next Sessiou would commence retrenchment • ,•11(11 a literal scale as to produce a blessing to t!:t. country. Besides the agricultural mid com mercial interests, there is another interest composed cf rich Jews and greet 'nen—there is a mottled st in the country more powerful than them loth. The Jews had 800 millions of money im the fiends, fur the interest of which there was a great pert of the land iii mortgage. Money was never pientier that) at present; Bank interest was re duced to 3 and 31 per cent. and it would he gene rous in the fundholders to conic forward with a re duction of I per cent. on the dividends, which would be equivalent to sweeping off a fifth part of the taiinnal debt.—(Applause.)—Since the alteration t the value of the currency, be could not agree with those who considered that such a reduction would be a breach of the national faith. It might give the Jews great alarm, but they could now procure provisions, and purchare manufactures at a very low rate.

All classes would have to come forward and support the ministers ag.inst the fundholders before the interest of the debt could be reduced. A Committee, consisting of three of the landed interest. end also three of the manufacturing in terei ~ was accordingly appointed to prepare a re port to be laid befOre the county at another meeting which is to be held on the first Monday of Deem. ber.

During Saturday night, and the whole of Sun day, the wind blew in • dreadful gale from the SW., N., NE., &c. ; the effects of which are visi ble eking the coast to ao almost incredible de gree.

We have bad no arrivals from the other side since Thursday last, and in consequence of the boisterous state of the weather, very few departures for France. The Dasher steam-vessel, with four carriages, the mad, and a number of plawergers, left the quay on Saturday, in order to proceed to Calais, but se auddeu squalls •f wind and rain were momentarily coming on, after reaching the South Head, she returned, not thinking it prudent to venture.

Yesterday afternoon the hurricane again came tin and lasted without niter mission fur nearly three hours, and it is feared has done much damage. We have already heard that scarce a vessel in Yarmouth roods but has host an chors and cables, and one or two disurasted. Several brigs have come into the harbour, and many gone pest with damage of borne sort or other. One of the bodies of the unfortunate boat's crew of the Lively has been picked up.

This, however, depends on the extent of the powers of the late Spanish Governor, with which we are not sufficiently ac quainted to speak with any certainty. The writer in the Gazette says authoritatively, and apparently from direct information, that it is not true that Judge Fromentin acknowledged that he had not the right, or was not bound, to issue the Habeas Corps:.

THE B - Rrn S H PRESS. LONDON, WEDNESDAY. Novtanza 7, 18,1. The funds rose yesterday about a quarter, with. out the apparent operation of any cause of a public nature to lead to this improvement. There were no arrivals from the Continent, in consequence of the tempestuous state of the weather. No confirms. tion, therefore, has been given to the rumours re specting the appointment of an Ambassador from the Court of Petersburgh to the Porte, or to those contained in the last arrivals from the Continent, which brought the assurance, though expressed in more general term., that all matters of disagreement between the Courts of Russia and Turkey have been accommodated. Unless, therefore, the truth of the old adage were fully admitted and acted upon, that " no news is good news," there seemed no sufficient cause iu the ordinary course of affairs for an im provement in the market. In the absence of public events, which might affect the prices of stock, we must necessarily attribute this rise to the skilful combinations of the speculators, who, as we under stand, have conspired to monopolize the greater part of the floating stock, which is necessary for the ordinary accommodation of the public, and who, therefore, can supply it to occasional pur chasers in such quantities and ■t such prices as may suit their own purposes, and give an apparent elevation to the general state of the market. This speculation reaches, it is is said, to a very hazardous extent. We shall not therefore be surprised if we hear, at the next settling, of some defaulters to a large ■wount. The policy of the existing laws for regulating and controlling the trade in corn, will be again made ■ question for discussion in the ensuing Session of Parliament; but the result may, we think, be already anticipated, from the feeling evinced upon the matter at various times by his Majnty's Minis ters. An interesting account will be found in an other part of our Paper of ■ meeting which wits held at Renfrew on Tuesday week, of the Freeholders, Magistrates, and Commissioners of Supply of the country, fur the purpose of taking into consi deration the state of the Corn Laws, Mr. MAX.. Willa.. the Member of Parliament for the county, made a very excellent and sensible speech, in which he displayed an extensive mud sound knowledge of the general principles of com merce; but while he sheeted that lie appreciated highly the beauty of the theory which urges the policy of establishing a free and unrestricted trade between independent nations, he contended for the practical necessity of imposing limitations upon the trade in corn for the protection of farmers and proprietors of lend. The mode of affording this protection became, therefore, the question to be considered, and Mr. Maitureu. professed . himself an enemy to the present clumsy and iuunslicial system of a total restriction, until corn &Wild arrive iu the home markets at • .certain OW* , felt "magi* MAUI ka _ . . _ IM visits vor the ors "te te nctvo the ut fa iis rth e er wlt to , aie hiSb ei t aff d ias ord rs si !meit oloole "";:. lklanwatt. did not suggest ely specific amount fee ute proposed Any, fur dnl he enbmit soy mole. lion to the meeting for the pisrpose of embodying. :his sentimeots. Mr. Provost Caettlia addressed tile •Meitiog.`slid coOsflOrd generally with Mr. 4*Swit.s. iw his seatiststata. This Gentleman • remarked dist the value of land hid fillet. out fiords Alum the return of pent ; hot he sight have gone much farther, and said that it had fallen one half. It is notorious that arable land does not new pay its expenses; ioclediag rent, tithes, testes, and poor rates, and the deteriorative in the value of pasturage lands is compasetieely sit great for the feeding of cattle for the market, althowsh mot atteuded with the same expense of labour which is required foe the cultivation of the soil, has almost ceased to return a met. Live stock has fallen so much in value during the lest six months, that cattle improved by the summer's pasture now sell for less than was paid for them in the spring. The rents of lauds have, *lace the return of peace. ceased to bear their fair end equitable proportion to the total produce, and hence, undoubtedly, arises the greater part of the distress of which the agriculturists complain. We from time to time hear of humane and wise landlords returning to their tenants a considerable proportion of their rents ; but it would be mach better if they were to renew their leases at a just estitnste of their value. Their example, however, is good, and will, we trust, be universally follow ed. This circumstance does not appear to have been alluded to at the Renfrew meeting. Mr. Semis opposed the principles urged by the two other gentlemen, and proposed that • Committee should be appointed to investigate the subject under discussion, and report their opinions to au other meetlog. This was finally adopted, and • Committee of six gentlemen was chosen, three from the agricultural and three front the mann lecturing interests of the county. It was under stood that another meeting should be held on the first Monday in December, for the purpose of re ceiving the report, and adopting such further steps as might be deemed expedient. Considerable anxiety was felt in Dublin in the early part of last week in consequence of a ru moured intention to decorate the statue of King WILLIAM, as usual, on the 4th of November (Sunday last). We are happy to find from the Dublin Papers of Saturday that all ground of apprehension has been removed by the prompt, liberal, and judicious conduct of the proper authorities. The letter of the LORD MAYOR, and the Resolutions unanimously passed by the Board of Aldermen prohibiting this ceremony, will be found in another part of our Paper. We confi dently presume that they bail produced the desired effect, and that no attempt will again be made to revive this practice. The Corporation of Dublin, by this one act, has made ample amends for many errors, and proved the sincerity of their wishes to cultivate the system of conciliation and kind- nee so strongly recommended by the KING on his late g►aciou■ visit to that city. Among, the other benefits resulting from the disuse of this practice, justice will be done to the memory of King WiLtum, and the name of s Sovereign to whom the country is indebted for its free Con stitution will be no longer associsted with domestic strife, nor his statue displayed as a signal for into., lerence sod persecution. The military list in the London Gazette is looked forward to with great impatience in the army. We lately stated that the Lo►ds Justices appointed to exercise the functions of government in the ab sence of the KING, load not undertaken in meddle with that department. The list of promotions and exchanges accrued in the interval must he very considerable, and will probable occupy a large space in au early Gazette after his MAJESTY'. return. The National Intelligencer. the Government Paper of the United States, published at Washing ton, has undertaken the defence of General Jack. son's conduct at Pensacola, in the caw, of Colonel C•t.t.Ail. It says the General did not know ut tke time that the Colonel held a 'commission from the Spanish Government. The iKnorance of the Ge neral may extenuate his ofrence, hut does not amount to a complete defence or justification, The guns at the Tower are ordered to be in readiness to fire upon hi.
