But it must be • considered that we have not so good a period IJr the importation of our estimated deficiency as that from January Ito Septemba 1. To avert a famine we must have nearly all in before next August. Should an un safe and improvident cheapness in these islands send the disposable stores of the world to other countries, and should we only realise our state next spring, it will then be absolutely impossible to bring tl these islands what will then be needed. It will be impossible to divert the slipping from its other distant or pressing enga gements . Gradually, of course, the importation can be effect e d, but with difficulty, ffieulty, and with a considerable sacrifice to other interests. But it cannot be done at all unless it be tasen in time.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan.street, Borough, takes this oppor. tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the llerbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair Is much stronger and mere luxuriant than it ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. (3.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase i an I Is. bottle if they were as cert ain of its virtues as she s, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production oferfu hair in abuntard ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ;as a toilet pme it is beyond any to her taste. She will fe el a p leasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin , w eak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasiona ll y , every week, will pre ' vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it, turning grey, rendering the hair lux uriant and curly. A few drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing It to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshnioning odour removes headache and makes it a most nec essar y comp a to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten er twelve drops on the crown of the heat ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minut es. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infonts' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair. —See pamphlet of testimonials.

" On the 30th September the liabilities were 29,6091., being a reduction of 10,9691. since the 30th of June ; and the directors have much pleasure in being enabled to state that they have, in the present month, paid 5,0001. in full discharge of the debt due to their London bankers, Messrs. Denison, Heywood, Kennard, and Co., to whom the shareholders are much indebted for the liberal treat ment experienced at their bands during the liquidation. " There are still some arrears of calls, and in a few instances, where parties have the ability to pay, it will be necessary to resort to legal proceedings. " The lamented death of Mr. Alexander Bannerman caused a vacancy in the direction, which was filled up by the appointment of Mr. John Bannerman. " The directors who retire from office by rotation are Messrs. John Bannerman, Peter Bothwell, and John Swainson. They will be proposed for re-election. " By order of the Board of Directors (Signed) "G. R. CHAPPELL, Chairman." Mr. S. WALKER moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by a Shareholder. The CHAIRMAN said that he had much pleasure in putting the resolution, but regretted that there were not more proprietors present. He had the pleasure to inform them that the concern was out of debt and out of danger. Their London bankers bad been paid off, as would be seen by a letter which would be read to them by Mr. Harrop. The following letter was then read to the meeting : " London, Oct. 7, 1846. . . " Sir,—We are favoured with your 'letter of yester day, and have received the remittance of 5,0001. therein mentioned, being the amount of the last of the pro missory notes given for the debt owing to us by your company. " We have now the pleasure to enclose the said pro missory note, and to offer our congratulations to the directors on the discharge of their engagement with us. " At the period when our embarrassments pressed so heavily on your establishment in the autumn of 1842, when our cash advance was so considerable, and we were under acceptances for a still larger amount, we could not but feel a natural anxiety respecting our posi tion. We, however, placed reliance on the honour and good faith of the gentlemen engaged in the direction of the bank, and accepted their assurance of the ultimate repayment of our advances. Depending upon their ex ertions, we allowed time for the winding up of its con cerns,and looked forward to a result by which we should incur no loss. This confident expectation is now realised by the payment of the last of the promissory notes with interest, and it is as gratifying to us that our reliance has been so fully justified, as it must be satisfactory to yourself and colleagues that the undertaking entered into has been so completely and honourably fulfilled. " We remain, yours respectfully, " DENISON and CO. " G. R. Chappell, Esq., Chairman Bank of Manchester." A SHAREHOLDER asked how much money was still duo by the bank. Mr. FRAZER, in answer, said, in round numbers 24,0001., and the available assets 45,000 L The report was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. After some conversation as to the propriety of reducing their annual expenditure, thanks were voted to the directors and the chairman, and the meeting se parated. REPEAL OF THE MALT TAX. On Saturday last a deputation from the Central So ciety attended a meeting of the tenant-farmers at the Norfolk Hotel, Norwi c h, to adopt means for securing a total repeal of the malt-tax. The chair was taken by Mr. Leaman, of Whitewell, a large number of the leading agriculturists of the county being present. Mr. J. SMITH, one of the d eputat i on , explained the objects of the so c i e t y b y referring to the following re solutions, which had b een passed at a meeting held at the York Hotel, Bridge -street Blackfriars, London, on the 30th of Mar c h, 184 6 " 1. That th e o bj ect of this association is to f urn i s h employment to th e wor ki ng classes of the Br i t i s h com munity (the first source of national wealth), and by setting the springs of industry free, enable them to ob tain both beer and meat at a moderate cost. " 2. That the tax upon malt is unjust in principle and oppressive in operation, inasmuch as it presses so heavily upon the labouring classes of the empire, and at the same time altogether prevents many of the more needy from partaking of a wholesome beverage, the o nly nu tritious one ari s i ng f rom the produce o f t h e British soil. 4 of b. a T r h k a y t t i h n e a o n p i e n r e a r t e io d n ib o le f tdheisgrtaexe,lbimyits the consumption imp pslu.rlpOess.e of f r acre upon ; pon every acre of barley used a duty of sedforthe thus andin tihne the firstnext instance use of the p ro d uce f or t h e purpose o f f atten ing cattle. " 4. That thi s meet i ng p l e d ges i tse lf no t only to use its precluding checking e h the cultivatio n o f the soil, most strenuous exertions for the total repeal of this ob tic xious impost, so detrimental to the comfort and morals of the people, but determines never more to relax its ef forts, or entirely separate, till the desired object be attained. ‘ ado ` p 4 t . s T uc h h at m th ea e su co re m s m a i s tte t e he b y e T a u y e d st e e e d m im ex m p e e d d i i a en te t ly an t d o most proper for carrying into effect the above resolutions upon a wide and extended scale, ar exercise d to their ur gent endeavours for incr eas i ng the -subscriptions." ' Mr. NORTHOUSE followed in a speech of considerable length, in the course of which he traced the quantities of malt consumed and the amount of duty paid from the year 1730 to the present time. He stated, that in 1730, when there was a population of only 5,687,993, the con sumption was 28,410,421 bushels, the duty being then only 6d. per bushel, and the consumption five bushels per head on the whole population. In 1780, the duty was Is. 4d. per bushel; the population, 7,814,827 ; the consumption, 30,805,10 0 bushels, or four bushels per head. In 1828, the population was 13,249,508; duty, 2s. 7d.; and consumption, per head, two bushels two gallons; while in 1845, with a population of 16,711,725, the entire consumption was nly 30,508,840 bushels, or only one bushel six gallons o 2-3ds per head. These he considered proofs as strong as Holy Writ of the effects of taxation, and the deterioration of the comforts of the poor.

The R ev. Mr. Lusignan havin g t aken the c hair, Mr. Abrai nvin gave a verbal report of the pro ceedings of the committee. He said th a t tbe sub-com mittee had drawn out a series of interro g atories in re cr7petent per- upon the health f ere nce to the present state of London, and the influence ° sons to answer. The ob.;acts of the assoc i at i on as l ast agreed upon were to be the following :—" To instruct the people on th e evils of bad drainage and interment in i its of defective the to h e towns, and to show how they might be removed ; to disabuse the public mind of the expense attending their removal ; to urge the appointment of prop er ly qualified officers of health, and to solicit the co-operation of Government, the parochial authorities, engineers, chemists, and medical men in promoting the above objects." The:proceedings and recommendations of the committee were approved of, after which the meeting separated. A FEW WORDS to the MEMBERS OF AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES AND OTHERS INTERESTED IN LAND. Gentlemen,—The Act which allows a free trade in corn has passed. It may be regarded by you with dif ferent feelings—by many as the hat binger of ruin, by some as the commencement of a sounder state of things; but it is now the law of the land, and it cannot be sup posed that a measure sanctioned by the leaders of the two great parties in the State will be repealed without a trial, even if temporary circumstances did not greatly favour this view. But there is a point to which you can immediately direct your efforts, and which, I think I shall be able to show you you may reasonably hope to carry. We are to have free trade in the produce of the land—let us also have free trade in the land itself. You all know that the buying and selling of land is at present any thing but free ; you all know the expense and delay which now embarrass all dealings in land. Is it not worth ycur while to consider whether these must be sub mitted to as inevitable evils ; or whether, by taking the proper pains, you cififigt, materially lessen them ? I need hardly say thtirrr, this can be done, you, as the owners of the land, will be benefited, and that every thing that gives greater facility to the transfer of land will enhance its value. If you can buy land more easily, or sell land more easily, or borrow money more easily on your land, this is a direct benefit to you, for per sons interested in land usually wish to buy it, or to sell it, or to enjoy it and to render it available for their ne cessities. What, then, is the state of the law as to land ? Is it clear, and simple, and easily understood, or is it diffi cult to comprehend ? You know, if you are wise men, that you know nothing about it ; that the law relating to it, so far from being simple or easily comprehended, is the most difficult branch of our jurisprudence ; that many lawyers profess not to be well acquainted with it ; and that this responsibility is thrown on a comparatively small number even of the, learned profession. Now, I think you will agree with me that this is not as it should be ; the laws relating to property should be few and simple. Intricate and difficult questions will no doubt arise is civiliked states ; but the familiar transactions, the sale and the mortgage, should be easily understood and easily performed. We know they are so in person alty, in produce, in stock, in the funds. Is it absolutely necessary that the purchase and mortgage of land should be so difficult and so expensive as they now are ?. The law as to suits and actions may be hard and vexatious, but then few people after all go to law, but almost all are, more or less, interested in land. What spell then binds the land of this country? We cross over to Belgium, to Prussia, to France, and we find that the transfer of land in those countries is nearly as easy and simple as that of stock in the funds. The Government of those countries demands a larger sum in the shape of stamp than in England, and this may or may not be a proper mode of raising a revenue; but, so far as relates to the acts of the parties, the expense and delay are very inconsiderable. This has been brought out in a striking way in making purchases of land for railways, of which the same persons are directors in England and in France or Belgium. Now, what is the result of this increased facility of transfer? We find that land is more valuable in France, in Belgium, and in Prussia than in England, it fetches more in the market, and money can be borrowed on land at a much easier rate there than here; and it is not unreasonable to attri bute this, at all events, in part to the difference in the law. If, then, land is susceptible in one country of a ready transfer, and not in another, there is something wrong in the aw of the country in which it is impeded, and I hope to show you what it is in our law which occasions this loss and inconvenience to the holders of land. The primary rules of our law relating to real property in this country are all founded on the feudal system. The policy of that system was to restrict alienation, and in some cases actually to prohibit it. It looked upon the transfer of land with disfavour, and it was only by slow degrees that land was emancipated from its most ri gorous rules. Many of them have been evaded after a clumsy fashion, and indeed the history of the law down to the present time is a series of struggles to evade them; but to this day, on every alienation of freeholds, the rules established by the feudal system must be borne in mind, and in the alienation of copyholds these are in full force. The spectre of feudality still haunts the land, clanking its chains, and rising at the most unfore seen moment to scare the lawful owner from doing what he will with his own. Let it be remembered that down to the end of the reign of Henry VIII. no one could will his freehold lands, and that down to the 55th of George 111, no one could will his copyhold lands, without a previous sur render; and down to the first year of the Queen no one could will his customary lands without a previous sur render; that so late as the reign of King William IV. an entail could not be barred except by a fictitious suit called a fine or a recovery; that down to the fourth year of the reign of her Majesty two, deeds werce,usually em ployed instead of oue in the most simple dealing with land; that down to the commencement of this year those useless phantoms termed " outstanding terms for years" were in full activity; and that now, according to the established practice, before an acre of land can be sold, its history for the last sixty years at least must be told. But I am sure I need not say any more as to this. You all know by woeful experience the present state of the law as to reel property, and it is sufficient to say, that if its present rules are strictly carried out, they render many small interests in land absolutely unsale able. The only way of dealing with these is to dispense with ceremonies considered necessary in larger sales, and to take them on trust, without any inquiry as to title at all. How then can this state of things be re medied ? I conceive we should all endeavour to obtain 1. Simplicity and uniformity of tenure. 2. Easy, cheap, and expeditious modes of transfer. 3. Shorter and more simple deeds. 4. A greater certainty as to time in completing the sale and mortgage of land. 5. Some mode of shortening inquiry as to title. In order to gain these desirable objects, let me direct your attention to one or two points which will help us in obtaining them :- 1. A general map of the country should be made. This exists in every civilised land, and greatly facilitates ar.d simplifies all dealings with land. Several recent in vestigations, as the Tithe Commutation, the Inclosure of Commons, and in Ireland the Ordnance Survey, will be found serviceable as to this. A state-map would assist other changes, but it would be exceedingly useful as a measure by itself. 2 A general registry of titles should be established. This will, when once it comes into effect9al operation, shorten both deeds and title. This also exists in . every other civilised country, and even in an imperfect form in Scotland and Ireland. 3. Proper consideration should be given to the whole subject by competent and unprejudiced persons employed by Government. You will see that the times favour the chance of ob taining your reasonable demands in this matter. In Scotland there is a strong desire to get rid of entails, for here the feudal law presses on the land even more severely than with us. In Ireland the whole law of tenure is in a confused and unsatisfactory state, and en lightened persons are demanding laws which will facili tate the transfer of land, as a panacea for many of her present heavy troubles. In England a Committee of the House of Lords unanimously reported last session in favour of a " thorough revision of the present system of conveyancing." A little exertion, then, is alone wanting. For who is to oppose you ? The landed interest will not oppose any measure for the benefit of the land. The mercantile body have always been fond of investing their savings in the pur chase, and of lending their moneys on the security of land. Even the lawyers are beginning to find out it is not their interest to thwart measures which will multiply all dealings in land tenfold. The present Ministry will not withstand a strong and earnest appeal to them. All, then, that is wanted in this juncture is, that the appeal should be made. All that is wanted is a little exertion. Let us, at all events, insist that these matters should be fully inquired into, and if this inquiry results in raising the value of your land to the price that it fetches on the continent, you will perhaps have the less reason to regret the present crisis, which will have enabled you to carry the measures to which I have referred.—l am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, JAMES STEWART. Lincoln's Inn, October 21. THE BUTCHERS' CHARITABLE INSTITUTION.—The eighteenth anniversary festival of the members and friends of the above institution took place on Wednesday evening at the Freemasons' Hall, when about 190 gen tlemen sat down to a very sumptuous repast ; amongst whom were B. B. Cabbell, Esq. (chairman), Mr. Alder man and Sheriff Challis, Mr. Sheriff Kennard, C. Pearson, Esq., &c. THE RELEASE CF THE INNOCENT MAN TIIONIAS NOTT.—On Tuesday afternoon, an order came down from the Horne-office to the House of Correction, for the liberation of Thomas Nott„ who was convicted at the Clerkenwell Sessions, on the 30th of last month, for stealing a quantity of linen and wearing apparel, on the 16th of the same month, from the house of Mr. Still, a tailor, in Lucas. street. The Governor of the House of Correction, oho behaved with great humanity to Nott, after his innocence was made apparent, gave him half-a crown on leaving the prison. On the same day, Mrs. Nott, the wife of the innocent man, received 10s. from Mr. Ellis, the chief usher of the Thames Police court, who had been directed by Mr. Ballantine to relieve the family weekly, while Nott remained in prison. On Wed nesday Nett called at the Thames Police-court, end re ceived two sovereigns from Mr. Broderip, who said that one of them had been left by a humane gentleman, and the other was from the poor-box fund, placed at the dis posal of the magistrates. Nott expressed his gratitude, and asked the magistrate's advice as to what should be done with the girl Evans, who had been the cause of his imprisonment. Mr. Broderip referred Nott to Sergeant Harris, of the K division, who was the first to expose the conduct of the girl, and said the Court would render hiir every assistance. The worthy magistrate, at the same time, expressed the deepest commiseration for the un fortunate man, and said he was much to be pitied. He should not lose sight of him, and in the course of a few days, some further assistance would be rendered. NAVAL INTELLIGEN CE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 21.—The Victory presented a highly interesting appearance this morning, her three mast-heads and flag-staffs, surmounted by wreaths of laurel, the royal arms at the break of the poop surrounded by a tasteful wreath of laurel interspersed with flowers, and the brass-plate on the deck, inscribed " Here Nelson fell," ornamented by a simple wreath of laurel. The commemoration dinner took place in the dining cabin on the main -deck, the ward-room being too small to accom modate comfortably the party invited to celebrate the anniversary of Trafalgar. The cabin was decorated with a transparency of the departed hero, behind the President's chair, and the cabin was otherwise appropri ately decorated with martial trophies. Soon after six o'clock Captain Pasco took the chair. On the removal of the cloth the following toasts were given from the chair:—" The Queen;" " The Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family;" " The immortal memory of Nelson, and those who fell with him;" "Sir Charles Ogle, the Com mander-in-Chief;" " Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker;" " Lord Auckland and the Admiralty." By Rear-Ad miral Parker—" Captain Pasco, and the rest of the sur viving gallant officers who fought at the battle of Tra falgar." Chairman—" The Duke of Wellington and the Army. The festivities were kept up until a late hour, and the men as well as the officers were properly regaled in com memoration of "Trafalgar day.' The Scourge disembarked yesterday at the dockyard 500 of the 27th Regiment, whom she brought from the Channel Islands. They marched to Fcrt Cumberland. The Scourge is ordered, after completing fuel, to pro ceed to Cork with marines, and there remain until fur ther orders are transmitted to her. The Powerful, 84, was undocked this morning, and the Crocodile, 8, Commander Lowe, docked in her room. The Sylvia, tender to the Seaflower cutter, Commander J. Roepel, arrived this morning from Jersey to obtain provisions. The Netley tender arrived this morning with super numeraries from Devonport. The Mercury tender sailed last evening with super numeraries for Sheerness and Woolwich. The Raleigh, 50, Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, and the Constance, 50, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, arrived at Madeira, from the Mediterranean, on the 31st August, and sailed on the same day for South America. The Hound, 10, Commander Wood, arrived at Ma deira on the 21st of September, and sailed on the 23d for the coast of Africa. The Contest, 12, Commander M.`Murdo, arrived at Madeira on the 31st of August, and sailed on the 6th ult. for the coast of Africa. Lieutenant John Green (1809) died at his residence, Kingston, near Portsmouth, on Sunday last, after a lin gering illness.

CHRONICLE.—The Dublin Freeman's Journal of Saturday last, in an article occasioned by the opinions we have promulgated respecting the disposal of the waste lands (opinions to which, as we are pleased, but not surprised, to find that influential paper gives its cor dial assent), bears the following valuable testimony to the complete practicability of the reclamation of those lauds by peasant labour : " A week's ramble through Connemara, or Erris, or Kerry, and we presume the same to be true of other counties where the waste lands abound, will convince the most sceptical that labour can be profitably employed in the reclamation even of such lands as would not prove remunerative to the large capitalist. The Irish psasint's labour was hitherto of little value in the mar ket. Labour was abundant, employment scarce; and whenever the peasant found an opportunity of mingling his labour with the barren soil, he did so, though with no better prospect than that of having the owner of the soil come in and possess himself of the permanent fruits of his toil, before he had himself reaped even what would pay him a tithe of the value of his labour. We have seen this pia cess repeated many times by the same peasant family. We have seen him reclaim a patch of bog, enjoy it for a brief period, and then yield it to a rent payer ; then retire to another patch, to reclaim and yield it up in like manner, and so on, labouring with the full conviction that one day or other his lord would have all the benefit, but ever hoping, even against experience, that the evil day might be far off. The peasant family did this because their time was valueless, and by such a process they were enabled to make it yield them a sus tenance equivalent, perhaps, to a fifth of its market value. Yet that fractional payment kept them from begging, and rendered what would otherwise continue to be barren soil, productive and valuable." Sic vos non vobis 1 Are these the purposes for which landed property is ordained in a country pretending to civilisation ? Is it that he who sows may not reap— that not he who toils, but some other, may receive the benefit ? We all know the foundation and justification of the institution of property to be precisely the reverse. The moral and social basis of the right of property is the right of the labourer to the fruits of his labour. All other proprietary rights exist for the sake of this. The millionnaire, who never did a day's work of useful labour with head or hands, who is society's debtor for everything, and its creditor nothing, has his property protected, not for its own sake, nor for his, but because to meddle with it would be to violate the right which some ancestor or predecessor, who did work for it, had to transmit it freely to his de scendants, or to persons of his choice. If all property rests upon no other than this foundation, landed property does so pre-eminently. Land is not the produce of la bour. No landlord's ancestor made the land. Why, then, is land appropriated? We do not mean why was it appropriated, for we knOw that the most usual ground of possession was force and conquest : but why is its appropriation rightful? Why is property in land a recognised necessity of society? on what ground have, not usurpers and tyrants, but sages and philanthropists, defended it? On this—that land, although not made by labour, can only be rendered useful by it, and because labour will not be applied in the most useful manner by the exertions of any others than those who have a per manent interest in the land. Land might be held in common, or, what would be less irrational, it might be granted out on yearly leases by the State. It is con ceded to individuals in permanent property for one legi timate reason only, because a permanent proprietor has P the strongest motive to be an improver. Proprietors exist in order that they may be improvers, not in order that they may profit by improvements made by others. When the proprietors of land, gene rally speaking, are not improvers, the purposes for which landed property exists are not answered. When instead of being improvers, they are an obstacle to im provement—when, without any public purpose in view, they keep land waste which others are eager to culti vate, or suffer it to be made valuable by those who have no permanent interest in it, in order to seise on the value —we do not saythat they are culpable. The law gave them the land, attaching no conditions to the gift, and none but an extraordinary man is a law to himself, ac cording to a higher standard than custom. But we do say that landed property, thus used, exists to frustrate the ends which it is designed to promote. It is insti tuted that improvement may not be hindered ; it exists as the hindrance. It is instituted that what is created by industry may abide with the creators ; it exists that what their labour alone has called into being may be wrung from them. Seeing what the " indolent Celt" is already found capable of achieving, without the stimulus of property—seeing that the mere prospect of a few years precarious possession has so often induced him, without science, without capital, without aid from the possessors of either, not under the encouragement of law, but in violation of it, a ith no re source but his own hands, and those of his family, ,to perform what is regarded as one of the most arduous f to of agriculturaLimfVovement, the conver sion of pea tX, ei suog,T inarableNand ;we site ,justified`iii believing thaiNi •the primevai"waste had stood oped in tit, • primeval Nisei:Suer to. the first, occupier, the prize•of him who succeeded in making it valuable, - it would long ere this have been covered from one end to the other by a hard-working, frugal, peaceable, and, in all probability, prudent and self-restraining peasant pro prietary. Let the Legislature, then, repair its error. The rights it has conferred, mischievous and anti-social as they have in fact proved, let it not resume without compensation. Those rights have a market value, and let that value be paid to the last penny, But let it be the present value, not a speculative price, grounded on the improvements which are only to be effected by means of the purchase. The value of the bogs and mountains to their nominal owners is but a trifle. They are en titled to no more ; what more the Legislature can spare is required to feed the industrious improvers, while they work for their own future independence, and the State will be amply repaid by a fraction of the value which their labour will bestow on the now worthless land. TlMES.—After the meeting of Parliament, and the first general intimations permitted to ooze through the lips of Royalty, the next great event, waited for with an interval of deep expectancy, is the Ministerial announce ment of taxes to be remitted or imposed—of reductions or augmentations of the national expenditure. Two or three millions a year are the utmost range to which the uncertainty extends. In point of fact, however, an appa rent remission to that amount must be covered by the imposition or retention of some temporary burin. A Minister thinks himself exceedingly fortunate if he can relieve the people of so much as one million on the whole account. By the side of this annual question we may see the magnitude of that other of which not the month of February, but the month of October, is the chief crisis—the annual estimate of the food of the people. The problem, taking into account the harvest and the consumption, both of these islands and of the whole world, measured by money, is ten or twenty times as im portant to these islands alone as that which the Minister has to decide in his annual exposé. A difference of ten shillings a quarter in wheat denotes a total expense to the British consumer of about 10,000,000/. ; very considerably more, taking into account the correspond ing rise in other descriptions of grain. It denotes, also, a corresponding amount of hunger, weakness, disease, and crime. Of course the question does not merely concern this or that class, the agriculturist, the mill owner, the corn dealer, the stockbroker, or the amateur alarmist ; it concerns the whole people. Nor is it merely a matter of interest or curiosity. It is of the first importance that we should know at once our pro spects. Every person, from the Premier forecasting the utmost horizon of the future, down to the labourer engaging himself for the next twelvemonth to his master, is equally concerned to know the ruling prices of corn for that period. On such a subject probable conjectures, daring as they may be, are better than none. It is wisdom in this instance to lean to the gloomy side. A few weeks, or even a few months, of exaggerated alarm, are a far less evil than a dreadful surprise, when it is too late to avail our selves of the knowledge which time has brought to our unwilling apprehensions. What is excessive alarm, in comparison with downright famine? What is wheat at 70s. now, in comparison with wheat at 100 s. next sum• mer or spring ? If all parties honestly set to work cal culating the gigantic, but by no means inscrutable, problem, there would be such a general agreement as would take away the necessity of conjecture. But, without any inviduous comparison between the general intellect of the different parties, it cannot be denied that they who are in the position of sellers at this time of the year are a class of persons much less accustomed, and much less qualified, to consider the problem as a whole than the much smaller body with which in the first instance most of them have to deal. The farmer, with rare exceptions, does not enter into national or rather the universal question. He is generally unacquainted with the great data necessary to anything like an approxi mate result. This is proved by the extraordinary and im possible statements which they are ready to accept on respectable authority. While one party is too unin formed, and the other too interested to enlighten us, it becomes the duty of all who have means and leisure for the inquiry, to give the nation the benefit of their con jectures. The sooner we know exactly how we stand the better for all. If it be probable the food will rise before next harveat to famine prices, Ministers, farmers, manufacturers, shipowners, speculators, will all act ac cordingly. But already, in our humble op inion, enough . is taken for granted to put all these parries on the qui vice. The estimated deficiency of 4,000,000 quarters, as compared with our probable wants, is itself a matte i t f • for the most special and an xious p rovision. Even there existed so large an aggregate superabundance over the demands of the corn- growing countries within reach of British capital, its transport to these shores is itself a matter of positive difficulty. The conveyance of 4,000,000 quarters to these islands, within the time that will answer our purpose, is a task possible indeed, but which has no precedent. A quantity not far from that amount, i ncluding all descriptions of grain, was entered for home consumption during the first eight months of this year. We are not, however, to suppose that all that was imported within that period. On the contrary, out of this quantity more than 1,100,000 quarters of wheat, with a less, though considerable, quantity of other grain, was in bond at the beginning of this year, and was the result of a gradual, though increasing importa tion, in the latter part of 1844 and the whole of 1845. The quantity actually imported, that is, brought to our . shores, daring the first eight months of this year, under POST.—We observe with very great regret the tone in which the Visitation Charge of the Bishop of this dio cese, published in our paper of Tuesday, has been criti cised by some of our Contemporaries. We do not our selves say that the journalists are called upon to offer a anegyric instead of the severities in which they have indulged; but we think they might have been silent, or, if they criticised at all, have done so in a more impartial spirit, and in a more respectful tone. The Mo'niag Chronicle calls the Bishop an ecclesiastical Peel, and sa) a that, in perusing his Lordship's Charge," the curious reader may have been more than once reminded of the Minis ter of promise and expediency, who first got his party into an awful scrape, and then patriotically betrayed them for their own and the public good." We cannot excuse the malignity of likening the respectable Bishop of this diocese to such a public cheat and counterfeit as the late Premier. This, to use the words . of the Right Rev. Prelate himself, is " an imputation which no person who did not wilfully misconstrue, or strangely misunderstand the language of his Charge, would have thought of casting upon him." It should be distinctly borne in mind that while Sir R. Peel wheeled round and joined the camp of those he had previously opposed, he could give no intelligible reason for doing so. lie could' give no reason at all, which would not have been as cogent, while he was doing his best against the free-traders, as it was when he made it .the excuse for joining their side. Not so the Bishop of London. He frankly and fairly tells the reason why h e gave certain advice to his clergy in public, and then told them in private that he would not hold them bound to follow his advice. Finding a diversity of practice to exist in the performance of Divine service in his diocese, he re commended a strict adherence to the law, so as to ensure uniformity. The Chronicle says that'the Bishop has not any homage to render to truth and reason. He still thinks he was right in his rubrical recommendations, only he has miscalculated his power of withstanding demon! This is not a fair representation. What is true is, tha. ho did not calculate upon any such clamour arising as that which did arise. He found a great Mficulty which he did net anticipate. Worldly-wise men will say that he should have foreseen the probability of all that happened, and thus have avoided the position of diffi culty in which ho subsequently found himself, unless he were determined and prepared to fight his way through it. But in our opinion a Bishop of the Church i 3 not to be blamed because he had a rather better opinion of the general reasonableness of his people than they deserved. He might have calculated more shrewdly, and had he read Voltaire more, and the Bible less, he possibly would have judged more accurately as to the extent of popular fanaticism, and the " clamour" which shallow minded persons would be ready to make when the key note of their most violent prejudices was touched. But we think it perfectly clear that the Bishop has frankly and fairly explained those questionable points which have been made the subject of so much complaint against him. HERALD.—If any sanguine projector, some sixteen or seventeen years ago, had enumerated, among the merits of a railway scheme, the moral and sanatory con sequences attendant on its successful completion, ho would inevitably have found his speculations over whelmed with unmitigated ridicule. That scepticism which spared not the mechanical and commercial pro spects of such undertakings would have shown even less mercy to this satellite crotchet of social improvement. The dryness of mere engineering controversy and cal culation would have been often relieved by discussing the moral tendencies of a tunnel or the sanatory charms of an embankment. But time is a grand revolutionary agent. The full development of the railway system itself has not more completely overshadowed the sneers which attended its birth, nor more entirely exceeded the commercial expectations - of its early promoters, than would this hope of moral and physical bene fits. A Parliamentary " blue book, " published last Monday, contains certain evidence relating to railways in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, which strongly illustrates the local consequences of their completion. The incumbent of St. Matthew's, Bethnal-green, attributes a considerable improve ment which has taken place in his parish to the building of the Eastern Counties Railway. New houses, better adapted to the wants of the inhabitants, more soundly constructed, more completely ventilated, and, of course, perfectly clean, have replaced the old tenements in which the vicious and profligate classes of that parish formerly vegetated in darkness and in dirt. The passage of a railway through a metropolitan district doubtless occu pies much space upon which buildings were previously - crowded ; but its chief and most important effect is in disturbing the old arrangement of streets, cutting through and exposing to public gaze courts, alleys, and recesses known only to the criminal or the police, at tracting public attention to the dwellings of the very poor or the - vorSr:micious, and stiwlatim,t,hp owners of propNy to the erecflun ofoew bMaint‘, The brokeq. and irregular portions of old' housls exposed on eacYi side 2( . tte, line must completed and 'faced with few -erections ; -ape by this means the beat ~portions of the Building Act, under the control of - which .. every new - tenement must be raised, extend their beneficial operation to that vicinity where its provisions are most needed. The practical working of the whole is well shown in the fact that new houses have been built in Bethnal-green, on each side of the railway, of a better and more wholesome description than those which had previously occupied the same spot. The tendency of all evidence upon this subject is to show that the honest and hard-working 'artisans, who had previously dwelt almost in foul and squalid wretchedness, being compelled to seek new residences, have invariably got better lodged in consequence of the removal. They have gone into other streets in the immediate vicinity, they have taken houses built expressly on a speculation of this geneeal disturbance, and in a few or no instances known be the parochial authorities have they changed from houses close or dirty to those which were closer or dirtier. As the mere herding together of great numbers propagates every corrupt and depraved tendency, so the occasional dispersion of a dissolute aggregation, by destroying the influence of evil example, entails a social benefit. On this account also, therefore, tho erection of a great public work in the neighbourhood of a large town ex ercises a secondary or reflected influence in promoting the combined morality of its inhabitants, and diminish ing the reproductive virulence of crime, by an extensive dilution and dispersion. Bat we are not on that account wholly insensible to the overcrowding in other districts which for a time must necessarily follow the expulsion of many inhabitants from the site of a railway. That pressure upon other portions of the same town is, how ever, only temporary. The space really covered and permanently occupied by a railway bears a very small proportion to the number of houses at first appropriated. A short period is sufficient to bring within the eventual limits of a narrow strip of land the works which origi nally spread over an acre; and the undertaking is no sooner completed than new structures rise on every side, perfecting the angular remnants of squares and streets, and affording by the rivalry of their land lords every inducement to the labouring poor to enter new tenements. Those persons only whose pro fessional labours, or whose humane impulses, have carried them frequently and constantly into the dwell ings of the industrious poor, can have any clear concep tion of the callousness to dirt which necessity entails, and such only can appreciate the importance of occa sionally urging the labouring population into a change of residence. The poor man cannot remove his family to a country residence, or to a watering-place, while his town house undergoes repair. Painters, whitewashers, and nightmen, jostling the ricketty infant, or disturbing the daily meal, where whole families live in a single apartment, constitutes an effectual process of ejectment. The single proposition for any such purification is inva riably met by the tenant with objectio ns and diffi culties. He alleges that he is quite content with the existing condition of his wretched room, chiefly under the apprehension of an increased rent being the eventual consequence of augmented clean liness. Few things are more remarkable than the small amount of money expended in house rent by the industrious population of towns. Men earning steady wages for years do not expend one-twentieth part ,of their income upon lodging. Both on moral and econo mical grounds it can be successfully shown that the tem porary disturbance consequent upon the formation of a new thoroughfare, the erection of a public building, or the construction of a railway, tends eventually to im prove the dwellings of the poor, by the compulsory soundness and purity of every fresh arrangement. The industrious and the dissolute poor are equally exposed to the operation of these causes, and though affected in different ways the entire benefit rendered to both far transcends the entire injury. On the whole there can be no doubt that the community in whichh suchso ch ine adanvagnes are effected reaps a permanent and Ifthtehehdauwnetlslinogfs vice a of poverty qrye disgorge their foul u are a l l y°occasionally,e uprooted, e rtt rcr recepta cles of confederated depravity intesscs,onacnedhttrhaetipoh.rofligate contagion of crime is robbed of We understand de rtand publisher, t h o a f t E M d r i n . b l u 'a r i g tthe eminent h , , intends book to re retire . in s eller an the course of next year from the business which he has so long carried on.

EXTRAORDINARY FATAL ACClDENT.—Wednesday morning, an aged female named Sarah Tuckliffe, an in mate of Slater's Almshouses, Kingsland-road, was found dead. The old lady, who had a wooaen leg, had appa rently risen in the course of the night, and unfortunately her wooden leg had hitched between the bedstead and another piece of furniture, throwing her head foremost into a corner, from which she was unable to extricate herself, and she was strangled by her cap string. RAILWAY ARRANGEMENT.—It is stated that terms were on Wednesday agreed upon between the Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston Company and the Eastern Counties, they having amalgamated at par ; it makes the former at 71. premium, and gives to the latter not only the East Coast ene, but the direct trunk line across the country; cross& also the Midland line in several parts, and also the Direct Northern. The arrangement is subject to the approval of both companies, to be im mediately called together for that purpose. .".". - 11 5 , ..." irt -- woc .. eedi ngs, sce. 1 11; ---------- THAMES ECONOMICAL STEAM .sstablish.r. 1. -''' °lathe p li r O in l ci T ple CO of s C lP he t a N p Y a . nd Equalisel Fares.
