" The second (the Company by whom the above-mentioned adver tisement was issued) did not complete the deposit of their Plans until the Ist of December, and are therefore not in a condition to go to Parliament.

These benefits have been so extensively pub lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated. This Company is formed for granting every description of Life Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of Assurance, and every other description of property. Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se curity, and effecting .a policy of Assurance for the amount bor rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,0001. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its advance. The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted scale. , One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With this view, four-fifths or the profits, arising from Policies affected by parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three years, after the first five years, among those who assure fir the whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the stun assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the Assured. . . _ For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the whole of life, without participation In the profits, a scale has been adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with the interests of the Company. Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of ene-half only of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the Interest upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti cipation of the profits. The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value of the policy, on its security. In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. ...... Li ........_. fe Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the assured afforded by the most respectable established companies. A Table of Premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES. This Company, in submitting the subject o: Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this ntnd i n ti o Tiril d tihyin e neegsog o frt: f o—hal lnvestment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company , nw fo , l o 6 i s ip i . va p e ei r e 's s r o iol e t ir i e u s n l s ubscribe ht t r . ea p lti e l r en 2i so n or n f l u tt o l m O e l: Pr e r e i aanccehi nominee.piteheey subscribert or t T I oioerrii their respec tive pkene will, du m ri i n n g ee th s' e b(li continuance n g ofan a o g c e a it l t e h n e t enter the ti c: e as e which in an ann annuity of 6 a 1 1 . 1- ; nominee but as the lives drop, the share of the ' r de r c ed eased parties will be divided among the survivors, until they ar whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum are reduced lif u . ce . d b to six, each of they re spectively die eff, the 1,0001. per year which the dece u a t se a ; ceived will fall into the funds of the Comp any , for the benc l ;l a t rt O v f ITe shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of subscribers or their nominees. This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap propriating a comparatively s mall sum of mone y , which in man y in stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen dence and comfort in their declining years.

Dublin-12, Lower Sackville-street,; Manager, J. B. Bankhead, Esq. The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage on shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ; but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals who have advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded. The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a wide field for the operations of the Association. The great bulk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. The Association will advance a sum of money, in no ease exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whote ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hands until . the termination of the period for which the loan has been granted. Among the many advantages it holds eut, the following are not the least:— assistance when he most g, at a moderate rate, To the Shipowner,without tcertainty pecuniaryo f obtaining, ni and requires it. hkiury o t leis crit, _ The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at an equitable rate.

A total absence of risk to the shareholders. It may be-added that an extensive connexion has. been already formed in the leading outports, and insurance business to a large amount secured for the Association. The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here exhibited t the expenses of management will not exceed those of any ordinary marine insarance-oMce.

Sotne longer time had therefore elapsed before calling the shareholders t oge th er than the Directors had a month ago considered to' be necessary.

These doubts and suspicion s wou ld, he thought, be removed by the propositions they had th a t day to submit ta the shareholders—propositions he was su re they (the shareholders) would find it to their interest to concur in. Should any of them, however, dissent, there was an option given them which would be fully explained by the report. The report was - then read.

After a few remarks from the Chairman, recommending the adoption of the Report, Several proprietors put various questions, which were readily answered. The CHAIRMAN said that the number of shares issued to the public had been 35,000 ; the number of shares paid in had been above 18,000. The number reserved to some landed gentleman tear Mr. Redditch, had been 5,000; for the. acting and Provisional Committees, 5,000 ; making altogether 21,000, and odd shares issued and paid on out of 45,000, and giving them a fund in hand of 45,3641. There were no com peting lines. The amount of expenses would be about 11,0001. ' namely, 5,0001 for engineering, a nd 4,000/. solicitors an d agents, including serving of Parliamentary notices, 1,000/. traffic tables, and a ,0001. for salaries, office expenses. &c. On the motion of Mr. ROUSE, seconded by Mr. KirrrEnata, the report was received and adopted. The CHAIRMAN then read the resolutions, which were also carried. They were—first, that the amalga mation of the three lines be confirmed. Second, That such of the Proprietors as shall dissent therefrom shall signify the same by letter, addressed to the secretary, within seven days from this date, and that they shall be enti tled to receive on a day to be advertised by the committee the sum of 30s. for every share now in their possession ; those shares to be re-issued at the same prices to such of the a , sentients among the, shareholders, as shall in like manner signify their desire to avail themselves of this option; such shares to be divided rateably among the assentients. Thanks were then voted to the Directors, and the meeting broke up. WHAT IS SIR ROBERT PEEL GOING. TO DO ? TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR.—What is Sir Robert Peel going to do ? We have heard much of " the inquiring spirit of the age," but never was inquiry so rife as at the present moment. From one end of the land to the other, from the Duke who fattens cattle to the labourer who, in the words of his Grace of Richmond, "is incapable of fattening," the question is again and again repeated," Who knows what Sir Robert Peel is going to do ?" To borrow from Punch—echo answers " Nobody." Who can give us this valuable information? Valuable, especially to the little satellites who have lost their great comet in a cloud, and are half-inclined to snuff them selves out—to those unfortunate individuals who have been playing at "follow my leader," said leader having slipped round the corner, leaving them to whine, "It isn't fair." All the events of the past Ministerial crisis are veiled in the same impenetrable mystery, and we only know that— There was a man of Tamworth town, And he was wondrous wise: He jumped out of the Cabinet To all men's great surprise. But when he saw "the little lord" Was not allowed to reign— To astonish all the people more— He then jumped in again. " If we only knew," say the agriculturists, " then"—we are not prepared to say what would follow '6 this informa tion so devoutly to be wished." Even the Herald is unable "to propoge" a solution of the difficulty, and we are all like little children before the green curtain, and, having witnessed the last trick of the mighty conjuror, we are anxiously whispering, " What will he do next?" The depositories of hereditary wisdom—the accumu lated growth of awes—are not more enlight e n e d. Th e y are all solicito us for the country's good —at least they say so, and where is the man hardy enough to disbe lieve a Duke. Still we are inclined to doubt it. Were they really actuated by this benevolent motive, they would cease to have any voice in our councils ; they would retire from the perplexing path of politics, "cul tivate forbearance on a little oatmeal," and adorn a more limited sphere by•their labours of love. We might find it difficult to get on without them, but we try neverthe less. We say, then, had these gentlemen the love of country strongly developed, Salisbury would descend into humble life, and become a shepherd on his own plain ; Chandos might po , sibly present his famous head to the League, to be exhibited at a Covent-garden meeting, and labelled, " This as the head of a monopolist ;" no doubt the admiring auditory would rejoin, "So much for Buckingham." Then again, out of pure love, Norfolk might give himself to Mr. Lazenby, resolutely resolved to be worked up into " curry powder for the million ;" while mother earth might take Richmond at his word, (pen her benevolent jaws, and swallow him. That, Sir, I will guarantee, would bring an answer to the question, " What is Sir Robert Peel going to do ?" I am, Mr. Editor, your humble servant, January 13, 1845. MARK ANTONY. EFFECT OF THE REPEAL OF THE CORN'LAWS UPON THE AGRICUL TURAL LABOURER. TO THE AGRICULTURISTS OF AYRSHIRE. Gentlemen,--It appears certain that the present Govern ment intend to repeal the corn-laws, and as it is most im portant that such step should not be discussed as a party question, I, who can have no sympathy with the political principles of Sir Robert Peel, entreat you to give to his pro peal a favourable attention, and invite you to consider calmly a few facts bearing upon the most important feature in this absorbing question. I allude to the employment of the industrious classes; for you are aware that many of the supporters of " protection" assert, and I have no doubt sin cerely believe, that free trade in corn would prevent the re clamation of waste land, and thereby diminish the em ployment of the agricultural labourer. I confess I once entertained a sinxilar opinion; but practical experience, for the last ten years, has forced upon me a very different con elusion. During this period, besides building the mansion-houses of Corwar and Drumlamford, I have erected eight of the best farm steadings in the parish, attaching to each from two to five hundred acres ; I have given suitable encouragement to seven other tenants to erect their own buildings, each of Om having from forty to one hundred acres. I have built five bridges, and made nine miles of public road, and can most truly assert that, with the exception of the cost of the mansion-house of Corwar (and building a mansion-house in the country should always be considered as nearly a loss), I have been no loser by my improvements. Profit I never desired ; all I wished was that which I have obtained, a healthy and pleasant occupation. Whether my operations have been of public benefit, I leave to the decision of those among you who haye been for some years acquainted with the country for the' first six miles along the turnpike road from Barr-hill to Newton Stewart. But if you take'into consideration the fact, that during this period, besides being engaged in political warfare—stand ing four contested elections and three election petitions—l have suggested and carried one of the most important public improvements in the metropolis, connecting the Grosvenor property with the Houses of Parliament, you will imme diately perceive how much more profitable my improve ments would have been, had they been directed by your superior practical knowledge, and watched over by your un divided attention ; yet, during the last ten years, the price of corn has been, for the greater portion of the time, at a price which would leave no profit to a grower either in Europe or America, after he pad paid freight and other incidental charges. It is also said that abolition of the corn-laws would throw poorer land out of,cultivation, and thereby diminish the em ployment of agricultural labourers. This I conceive to be impossible ; for if, With low prices, I can pr o fit a bl y recla i m waste land, necessarily loaded with the extra cost of build ing farm-houses, making roads, &c., and also with consi derably greater expenses in the actual cultivation, how is it credible that land which is nob- profitably cultivated would cease to be so. That rents would be reduced Ido not doubt, although perhaps not to the extent at present contemplated ; for both landlords and tenants would soon discover that de ficiency in price might, by high farming, be compensated for by increased quantity, and you all know that high farming cannot be practised without increasing the employment of the agricultural labourer. Trusting that these observations may induce those among you, who have considered that a free trade in corn will throw the agricultural labourer out of employment, to reconsider your opinion, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, 3 our faithful servant, RIGBY WASON.

The humble Memorial of the undersigned churchwardens and overseers of the parish of New Windsor : Showeth—That your memorialists attended a meeting of the parish of New Windsor, in the vestry, on the Bth dad• of January inst. That, at the instance of your memorialists, a majority of the parishioners present at such meeting passed the following resolutions : " That this vestry extremely regrets that the resolutions in reference to the rating of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, passed at the vestry meeting held on the 18th of Sep tember last, should have been so carried, inasmuch as this meeting is now fully aware that his Royal Highness is not in any way liable to be rated for the Flemish Farm. And that this vestry deprecates the garbled statements set forth in the public journals on the subject. "That, inasmuch as the maintenance of the poor presses heavily on the pa-ishioners, a respectful memorial be now presented to his Royal Highness, praying him to take the state of the parish into his gracious consideration ; and that such memorial be prepared and presented by the parish officers." That your memorialists cannot approach your Royal Highness without expressing, in common with all the re spectable part of their fellow-townsmen, their deep and heart felt regret that any person should have been present at the said vestry who sho u ld so far have forgotten that respect and propriety of feeling due to your Royal Highness, as to have given utterance to some of those observations which have appeared in the public prints, and which your memorialists at such vestry deprecated. That your memorialists beg to assure your Royal High ness, that the various incorrect and unjustifiable paragraphs which have from time to time been inserted in the public papers, have never been sanctioned or approved by your memorialists, and have been published without their know ledge and concurrence, and have consequently caused great pain and embarrassment to your memorialists. That your memorialists, in humbly and respectfully lay ing their embarrassed position before your Royal Highness in the first memorial, did so, as stated in such memorial, from a necessity, as it were, cast upon them, and in opposi tion to their own feelings. That your memorialists have a full knowledge and con viction that your Royal Highness is not in any way charge able for any rates in respect of Flemish Farm, and regret exceedingly the resolutions which were passed at the vestry on the 18th of September last, which your memorialists again beg to reiterate were passed without their participat ing therein. That your memorialists scarcely know how to approach your Royal Highness, in craving oa the part of the parish your gracious beneficence in aid of those funds which are appropriated to the poor, because they feel that your Royal Highness has not been trete ed by some (happily very few) persons with that respect and propriety which was due to your Royal Highness. That your memorialists would, however, cast themselves upon your Royal Highness's gracious consideration, knowing full well that liberality and kindness which has always been prominent in every act of your Royal Highness. That your memorialists would again assure your Royal Highness of the attachment and respect which is felt for your Royal Highness in this royal highly-favoured borough. And your memorialists will ever - pray, &c. THOMAS ADAMS, WILLIAM INGALTON, Churchwardens. JOHN CLODE, JAMES CHISHOLM, WILLIAM NOKE, HENRY RosE, Overseers. Tuos. CLEAVE, THE ANSWER. Windsor Castle, Jan. 14, 1846. Sir,—l am commanded by his Royal Highness Prince Albert to acknowledge the receipt of the meino i dal which you have forwarded to me from the parish officers of Wind sor, and in reply to state that when a claim was preferred for the payment of-rates by the Prince, on account of the Flemish Farm, and when the legel liability of the Prince was insisted upon by the vestry, his Royal Highness felt himself precluded from admitting such a claim without previous consultation with the highest legal authorities. His Royal Highness submitted the whole facts of the case to the Attorney and Solicitor-General of her Majesty, and subsequently to Sir Thomas Wilde. Their opinion was, that his Royal Highness was not liable, in point of law, to the payment of rates, and that the admission by him of such liability might constitute a dangerous precedent affecting the prerogatives of the Crown. In the letter which I ad dressed to you on the 15th of D ecem b er , I i n f orme d you " that his Royal Highness had no disposition to resist any claim that could in fairness be made upon him, whatever might lac the legal obligations." I have now to inform yon, on the part of his Royal Highness, that if the parochial au thorities had continued to insist upon the payment of the demand made as a matter of legal right, his Royal High ness would have felt himself compelled by a sense of the duty which he owes to her Majesty to resist the claim. You have informed his Royal Highness that the vestry of Windsor has passed resolutions, of which the following are copies : "That this vestry extremely regrets that the resolutions in reference to the rating of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, passed at the vestry meeting held on the 18th of September last, should have been so carried, inasmuch as this meeting is now fully aware that his Royal Highness is not in any way liable to be rated for Flemish Farm, and that this vestry deprecates the garbled statements set forth in the public journals on the subject." Again— " That inasmuch as the maintenance of the poor presses heavily on the parishioners, a respectful memorial be now presented to his Royal Highness, prayin6 him to take the state of the parish into his gracious consideration, and that such memorial be prepared, and presented by the parish officers." His Royal Highness infers from these resolutions, that the vestry distinctly admits that his Royal Highness is not in any way liable to be rated for the Flemish Farm ; and his Royal Highness therefore feels himself at liberty to take the course which is most satisfactory to his own feelings, and to pay, as a voluntary contribution, a sum equal to the rate, which would have been annually due had the legal liability of his Royal Highness been established. It is also his Royal Highness's intention that the payment of the sum referred to should commence from the year 1841. I have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, G. E. ANSON. Henry Darvil, Esq. STORMING of CIUDAD RODRIGO TO THE EDITOR OF TDB TIMES. Sir,—However reluctant to obtrude upon your valuable time and space, and in regard to a subject which a recent melancholy event has rendered one of peculiar delicacy, I appeal to your sense of justice to be allowed to correct an erroneous expression in the letter from the brother of the late Colonel Gurwood, which appeared in your paper of the 6th instant. In this the writer states that the wound, under the effects of which his late relative had unfortunately continued to labour, was received at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, " where," he adds, " it is known he volunteered the forlorn hope." This would leave your readers to infer that there was but one breach effected, and only one forlorn hope, or that the one led by Colonel Gurwood was the principal attack. Allow me then to state, as is well known to all who were present at the assault, that the party led by Colonel Gurwood was against the lesser breach. The main breach, to the defence of which, as a matter of course, t e may conclude the atte:tion and force of the besieged were chiefly directed, it is equally well known, was stormed by the party led on suc cessfully by my late brother, Major Mackie, of the 88th Regiment, who volunteered on the occasion, although, as being senior lieutenant of his regiment, he was the first for regular pr:,motion at the time. I beg herewith to transmit two documents—one of which is from Colonel Russell Manners, who commanded the whole of the party which stormed the main breach, and who fol lowed the advance led on by in , brother. The other is from Lieutenant-General Sir James Kempt ; and these sic selected fro o a number of others equally confirmative of the state ment I have r....ade. Under the circumstances, I am justified in asserting that, if the term "the forlorn hope at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo" is to be restricted and applied to one of the two, it must, by preference, belong to the one which Major Mackie I volunteered. Having given the advantage of your wide circulation to what, however unintentionally, is undoubtedly an injustice ' to the memory of my late brother, I appeal with confidence to your known impartiality to give equal publicity to this explanation.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, • C.

AIANCITES.7EIT, Tuesday last the increasing pressure for money iu the metropolis appears to have exer cised an unfavourable influence o❑ the market for manufac tured goods, and the demand has been limited, though with out any sensible change in prices. For yarn, however, the demand continues tolerably good, and a fair amount of bluff ness has been done at the full rates of last week. ROCHDALE, JAN. 12.—This is what is called the first, or new market. There has been a decided improvement in the demand for goods, which has induced manufacturers to ask higher prices, but they have not succeeded in obtaining them. Another manufacturer has stopped payment, whose liabilities are stated to amount to 15,0001. Others are talked of, but rot yet made public. Wool is rather stiffer to-day, and somewhat better prices have been realised. LEEDS, JAN. 13.—Our markets in the new year do not present an 3 new features. Light goods, such as tweeds, re main in pretty good demand ; but the heavier descriptions of woollens, owing to the continued unusual mildness of the season, do not sell so briskly as they should do at this period of the year. Upon the whole, however, a lather better feel ing may be said to exist, from the fact that more has been doing in foreign wools these last fourteen days than for some months past ; and there is no doubt that this feeling would be ranch strengthened by the setting in of more winterl,y weather.

Woomvicn, JAN. 14.—This fine frigate was ordered to be built on the 16th of May, 1828, and to be named the Ambus cade, but from some well-grounded objection to that )vatne. it was altered to Amphion, by an Admiralty order of the 31st of March, 1831. The building of the vessel commenced on the 15th of April, 1830, and was carried on on the same lines' as the Castor frigate, but she has s i nce b een l en gthened six teen feet by the bow, and fitted in the stern for a screw pro peller as an auxiliary, every other part and filling being the same as a proper sailing frigate. She appears to be a sightly vessel, and sits well upon the water. Her figure-head is a bust of the late gallant Captain Sir William Hoste, Bart., and her stern is of a neat square form externally, but round internally, for fighting her guns, and to all appearance will be a fast sailer, and a good ship of war. The following are her dimensions : . Feet. Inches. Length of the lower deck 177 ... 0 Length of the keel for tonnage Breadth extreme Breadth for tonnage Breadth moulded Burthen in tons, old measure, 1,473 66-94 Do. do. new Miss Psyche Hoste, daughter of the late Captain Sir William Hoste, was to have named the Amphion, but in consequence of that young lady's indisposition, the interest ing ceremony was performed by Miss Hawkins, niece of Admiral Sir James Hawkins Whitshed, Bart., G.C.8., Ad miral of the Fleet. At a quarter before three o'clock, P.M., Miss Hawkins, ac companied, by the Gallant Admiral, and escorted by Coin modore Sir Francis A. Collier, C.B. and K.C.11., Captain- Superintendent of the dockyard, entered the enclosed space surrounding the ship, and the master shipwright having pre sented Miss Hawkins with a glass of wine, she drank to the success of the Amphion, and the bottle, with the remainder of the wine, having been attached to the bows of the ship, was broken upon them. The men then suspended their la bours in knocking out the dog shores, as the tide had not risen sufficiently high, and it was twenty minutes past three o'clock before the vessel was allowed to glide into the water, which she did in beautiful style amidst the cheers of the as sembled spectators, the band of the Royal Marines playing the national anthem. The company present was very nu merous, and the day particularly fine, and every person seemed gratified, as, owing to the hour of the launch being later than announced, none were disappointed of witnessing the interesting scene. The Amphion is to be taken on Monday next to the East India Docks, to be fitted with engines of, 300-horse power, by Messrs. Miller and Ravensforth, and will be the first con structed for the steam navy of this country with the whole of her machinery considerably under the water line, and conse quently not liable to be deranged by shot during warfare. The screw will be fifteen feet in diameter, on Ericson's prin ciple, attached to engines on the direct-action principle, in vented by Count d e R osen, w i th four feet stroke, performing 4S revolutions per minute. The boilers will also be under the water-line, and the vessel is expected to be a superior ship of war by the aid of these appliances. The Danish Ambassador, Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas, C. 8.; Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer, Major Elgee, Royal Ar tillery; Colonel Nichols, Major Bright, Royal Marines; Commander Smith, Royal Navy; and the authorities of the Dock-yard, with a number of naval and military officers, were present, and the scene was exceedingly interesting. THE FARMERS' FRIENDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir;,—l read with much interest the observations made by you, a few days back, on a letter published by Sir Charles 15'alsley. Th e case put b y S i r Charles illustrates the posi tions in which the landowner and the land occupier are rela tively placed with respect to each other. Tiiis valourous prototype of the protectionists refers to the sale by his nephew, and the purchase by Earl Talbot, of the Tixall (Tick is all ?) estate. In this instance he states that the purchase money was 240,0001., and the rental 6,0001. a year, being, as Sir Charles states, barely 3 per cent. upon the investment. This transaction is put forward to prove the extreme modera tion of the landed proprietors, who, as the farmers' friendr, claim protection and the maintenance of the corn-laws. It is, no doubt, put forward with a view to induce the public to believe, that these men are so devoid of all avaricious and grasping propensities, that out of pure and disinterested benevolence they are content to sacrifice private interest, and so prove themselves by deeds, as well as by words, the . farmers' friends. They cl a i m cre dit f or p hil ant h ropy i n in vesting capital in "dirty acres," which will barely yield them 3 per cent. ; whil st naug h ty M essrs. Cobden, Bright, and Co. are making " the deuce knows how much" per cent. upon the capital which they employ in trade and manufactures. If capital, when employed in trade, commerce, and manufactures, be capable of produc ing so much better interest than when invested in the purchase of land, how noble and generous must be the feel ings that prompted Earl Talbot to make such a sacrifice as to invest 240,000/. so very disadvantageously as in the purchase of the Tixall estate ! There is no law, that lam aware of. which could prevent Earl Talbot, Sir Charles Walsley, and his nephew, from laying out their capital in purchasing cot ton, establishing a manufactory, and setting up a calico shop in opposition to Messrs. Cobden, Bright, and Co., and so make "the deuce knows how much " per cent. upon the in vestment. The only doubt that could be well entertained as to the ultimate success of such a speculation in the hands of a firm so composed would be that brains, as well as brass, are required profitably to employ money in trade, commerce, and manufatures ; whereas, any golden calf, with just brains enough to keep him out of a lunatic asylum, and a modicum of sense just sufficient to retain an attorney, and to employ a land-valuer, may become the proprietor of a whole district of country, and assume aristocratic airs, pre serve game, whip beggars, pound donkeys, represent an agricultural constituency, and, in futuretimes, become talked of by " the fifth transmitter of his foolish face," as the chivalrous and the pure-blooded founder of the ho nourable family of the Dillydoodles. The same observations ap ply with equal force to the cases of those who are land occupiers as to those who are employed in trade, commerce, and manufac tures. Any member of the Dillydoodle family may lay out 240,0001. in the purchase of land, and claim great credit as the farmers' friend for asking only 3 percent., or 6,000/. a year, as a return upon the investment, but where is that 3 per cent. to be found? From what source is the 6,0001. a year to be derived? It requires brains as well as brass—it will take skill as well as capital annually to produce that amount. In this case the farmer and his labourers are the manufac turers. Supposing the Tixall estate to be 6,000, and sup posing it all to be in Mr. Cobden's occupation as an agricul turist—the capital required to stock and to cultivate it would, at the rate of 51. per acre, amount to 80,000/. Mr. Cobden, as the provider of that capital, would have to make, at the very lowest estimate, 15 per cent. before he could keep him self from actual loss.—(See Bayldon's "Art of Valuing Rents and Tillages," p. 478.) In addition to this 15 per cent., the farmer must manage by his skill, and with his comparatively limited capital of 30,0001. to pay, in the shape of rent, to Squire Dillydoodle, 3 per cent. upon 240,0001. Thus the farmer must make, to keep himself from actual loss, 35 per cent. upon his capital. Of this amount 20 per cent., or 6,0004, which is one-fifth of the capital employed, is paid over annually to some farmers' friend, the preserver of game, the whipper of beggars, the pounder of donkeys, and the representative of an agricul tural constituency, as a compensation for anxious thoughts endured, and sle , pless nights passed, in devising the best means to be adopted for keepieg at home a few sheep-skins that had manifested a disposition to follow the fashion of their fellows, by creeping up the spout as most others in the neighbourhood had already done.
