At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest: • • ' For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 100/. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at Ave per cent. ; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

T HE BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL THEATRE ROYAL, COV.ENT=GARDEN. M. JUL LIEN''S Since the Festival given last year in honour of the great composer, BEETIIOVEN, at his birthplace, the musical professors and ama teurs of almost every continental city have bestirred themselves to evince their admiration of that great departed genius, and have pro• dnced some grand musical reunion for the special pertbrtnance of his finest works. The public enthusiasm with which these Festivals have been received, as well as the royal patronage bestowed on them, proves the estimation, and indeed almost devotion, with which the talents of Beethoven are regarded abroad. It has, however, been the frequent remark of foreign artistes, that in no country are Beethoven's works more highly appreciated than in England; and since the public in general have been enabled at a reasonable charge to make themselves acquainted with them, such a widely-extended knowledge now exists, that it is scarcely possible to conceive but that a similar demonstration in England must be highly and generally popular.

For some years before the late mischievous movement against railway interests on the part of the " Times " newspaper, it had been evident to all- persons. engaged in business, that in giving their advertisements to that journal they were themselves encouraging and fostering a newspaper which, while it derived the principal part of its support from the industry and energy of the mercantile and commercial classes of the community, was' acting in' every way against their interests. But however unwilling those classes might be to lend their aid to • such ajournal by sending to it their advertisements, it was compul sory upon them to do so, from the fact of the large circulation of the " Times " rendering it the only existing medium for'obtaining the de sirable publicity. A remedy or an alternative was sought in vain ; the existence of a journal, with a circulation to answer the purposes of a sufficient publicity for advertisements, remained a desideratum. This want appears to be now supplied by the " Iron Times," and the projectors of the "Iron Times" Newspaper Company have per ceived—in the manner in which that journal has recently assumed the character of a General Morning Newspaper, and the skill and talent which have been displayed in supporting that character—a power of expansion and development which, if duly supported by an amount of capital immediately available, must inevitably rehclerthe " Iron Times " the leading journal of the age. Founded on the basis of the "Iron Times" as a Railway NOT, — paper, the " Iron Times," as a General Newspaper, has a point d'appul_to start from, such as it has never hitherto been the_good . fortune of any journal to attain. To the success of a newspaper there are two points necessary— circulation and advertisements. These combined—or even one of them singly—have never, in any instance, been, arrived at without a great outlay and risk of capital ; both of these, however, the " Iron Times " has at starting. It has but to add to them. Actuated by this impression, and desirous to insure the perma nence of an honest and independent Daily Morning Newspaper, the property of no clique, either political or literary, a Company has been constituted for the purpose of purchasing the " Iron Times," and infusing into it that amount of immediately-available capital, which alone appears necessary t 0 insure its increased usefulness as a public journal, and an increas ed ratio of profits to all parties con cerned. As a commercial speculation the success of the " Iron Times" is a matter'of public notoriety,. and the Committee of Management of the Company, from the examination of the books, accounts, &c., have no hesitation in announcing the probability of a return of at least twenty-five per cent., or ss. per share, on the capital invested. To carry into effect the objects of the promoters of the Company, it is intended to create a capital of 63,0001., divided into 60,000 shares of 1/. ls. each—the whole•to be paid up. None of these shares will be allotted to the public until complete registration, which will be per fected in the course of a few days. By arrangements with the present proprietor of the journal, a limited number, not exceeding 4,000 shares, will be issued in the first instance, at par ; after which there will be a further issue of a similar number at It. prem. per share ; the remainder at such periods - and at such prices as the'Committee of Management shall de termine, and the augmented valfie and importance of the property of the Company shall demand. The arrangements for the protection of the interests of the share holders—for a pre-emption in favour of original subscribers, for sub sequent issue of shares, for the limitation of their liability, and for the regulation and management of the undertaking—have been matured; and the deed of settlement 'to carry these arrangements :me:towhee of f ddrzs into legal effect, is now under the consideration of counsel. the Secretary, Application for shares, and all communications respecting the un dertaking, ttahketn:: dice of the Company, 41, Meorgate-street, London.

Persons borrowing money of the Company , up on a pp roved 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 1,000/. 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 of 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 for 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 sum 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 consistentlywith the interests of the Company. Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-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 fall 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. Life 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 of 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 mode of investment ; —by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company during their own lives or the lives of their nominee. The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an nuity granted is 61. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 6/. ; but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re spectively die off, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re ceived will fall into the flinds of the Company, for the benefit of the 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 small sum of money, which in many in stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen dence and comfort in their declining years. Parents may also by these means provide for their children. Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.

The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—ln one of your editorial articles of this morning on the cab ject of new railroad Schemes, I find the Manchester and Southamp ton Railway thus singled out for animadversion:—" The much vaunted plan for railway communication .between Manchester and Southampton, for instance, is now alleged to be simply an impossi bility. In the excitement of launching the scheme, allotting the shares, getting the plans deposited in time, and congratulating the fortunate shareholders on the last grand point having been gained, every one seems to have forgotten the existence of the Cotteswold hills, which present, it is now declared; an insurmountable barrier to the railway being constructed. It is strange that no one ever thought of the Cotteswold hills before, but there they are, and there they have been from the first-L' a great fact,' which all the forces the Railway King has at his command will net be able to remove." The sinister report to which yen thus give currency was officially contradicted in the columns of many of your contemporaries a fort night age, and the Directors had hoped that a statement at once so unfounded, and calculated so unnecessarily to disturb the minds of their shareholders, would not again be lightly advanced. Fer your information, however, and that of the public, I beg once more distinctly and emphatically to state that, so far from the Cottes wold hills presenting " an insurmountable barrier to the railway being constructed," the Company's engineers-in -chief (Messrs. Ste phenson and Bidder) have been enabled to lay out a line which, having regard to the entire distance of 88 miles between Cheltenham and Southampton, is of ordinary character and costs. I may add, that the gentleman on whose authority this pass was seme time snce stated to be " impracticable," is himself the en gineer to a line through the same hills,. wh*.ch is to be submitted to Parliament in the ensuing session, and as to the engineering features of which this Company may invite comparison with those of their own line, and that the practicability of the line was distinctly ascertained many months `ago, before a prospectus ap peared, er a single share was issued; and, further, that the Directors are fully prepared to substantiate to Parliament and to their sub scribers every statement upon the faith of which they have re ceived the support of the latter, and are about to softit the sanction of the former. You will, indeed, be Aware that, if any reasonable doubt existed on these points, the public and the shareholders are themselves In a position to satisfy their doubts, copies of the Com pany's Plans being in the possession of the Clerk of the Peace for every county into which the line runs; of every Parish Clerk, of the Clerk of the Parliament, and of the Officers of the House of Commons, and the Clerks of Peace and of Parishes, being bound to exhibit them to all corners for a fee of is. per hour. In order that there may be no possible mistake in this matter, I annex a letter from the Company's engineers, in confirmation of the foregoing statement, and remain, Sir, faithfully yours, JOHN WHEELER. 17, Great George-street, Westminster, Friday, Jan. 9, 1846. To the Managing Committee of the Manchester and Southampton Railway. " Gentlemen,—We observe in the ' Times' of to-day a statement to the effect that this line is impracticable, the Cotteswold hills pre senting an insurmountable obstacle to its construction. " It has been our professional rule and practice io lay out the railways committed to our charge in such a way as to insure easy and practical lines by the construction of moderate works at a rea sonable cost, and we shall be prepared to show, at the proper tine, that, so far from the Manchester and Southampton line through the Cotteswold hills being impracticable,' it answers in every respect to the character we have endeavoured to impart to all our under takings, and will bear a very favOurable comparison with several lines now in operation, and with a vast number of those submitted to the Legislature in the last year, or intended for Parliament in its approaching session.—Your obedient servants, (Signed) " ROBERT STEPHENSON.

SOUTHWARK QUARTER SESSIONS. THE RIGHT OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIVILEGES OF THE CITIZENS OF LONDON. On Friday the first general quarter sessions in the present mayoralty was held at the Town-hall, St. Margaret's-hill, before the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Lucas, the Recorder, the High Sheriff, and the civic authorities. In the course of the proceedings, an important discussion took place relative to the violation of the charter which had been granted by various Monarchs to the City of London, relative to the borough of Southwark. After the grand jury had been sworn in, and informed by the Recorder that there were no bills for them to try, Mr. PILCHICR, the late candidate for the borough, accom panied by several influential gentlemen, rose and said that • he had been instructed by a large body of his fellow•inhabit ants to present a petition, signed byupwards of 1,500 persons, to his Lordship, praying that they might be restored to their ancient rights and privileges, by sending members to the Court of Common Council, and to enjoy the same rights and privileges as Citizens of London. With these few words he wonld request his Lordship to receive the petition. The petition, which is an exceedingly long document, was then handed to the Lord Mayor, which, amongst other things, set forth " That Edward IV., by letters patent, dated November 9, 1462, granted all the privileges which heretofore were vested in the Crown, with a yearly fair of three days; also a Court of Piepoudre, and a view of frank pledge: also that the citizens might arrest all felons, and take them to the gaol of Newgate. " That Edward VI., by letters patent, dated April 23, 1550, in consideration of 6471. 2s. Id., and subsequently a further sum of 500 marks, granted the appointment of two coroners, to the exclusion of all other, the King's coroners; I that the Mayor should be the King's excheator, with the power to make his precept to the Sheriff of Surrey, granting also all the manorial rights formerly belonging to the Arch bishop of Canterbury, and Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. That the citizens should enjoy the same rights in the bo• rough as they did in the city of London. And that the Mayor, Recorder, and those Aldermen who had been Mayor, should be Justices of the Peace in the borough, so long as they should remain Aldermen. " That in pursuance of the above charter, at a Court of Aldermen held on the 20th of May, 1550, Sir John Avliffe, Knight, was appointed Alderman of the hidge Ward With out ; also that four discreet and substantial freemen of the city, resident in the borough, should be from time to time elected by the inhabitants of the borough, out of whom the Court of Aldermen should elect one to be an Alderman of the City, and to have the peculiar rule and governance of the borough and town of Southwark. From whence it appears that the intention of the charter of Edward the Sixth was that Southwark should become a part of the city of London, possessing the same rights and privileges." The petition, after proceeding to enumerate a great num ber of privileges which they have been dispossessed of, pro ceeds to state that in addition to these burdens the inhabi tants of Southwark are liable to serve in the militia, and to have soldiers quartered upon them, from which, if the char ter of Edward the Sixth was acted upon, they ought as citi zens of London to be exempt. when the inhabitants were City, they were strenuously "That in the year 16 60 , " The petition concluded by p ra y in g that prompt measures anda n x i s o u u e s c e 8s to f b u e l ly separated opposedf r b o y m t h t h e e c e i t l y t would be taken for effectually uniting the Borough with the City, according to the intentions of the charters, and for giving the inhabitants of the Borough an adequate represen tation in the Council of the City, and that they maybe exempted from all burdens , p ersona l and pecuniary,in consistent with the rights and privileges of the City of London." The RECORDER—DO you wish this petition to be presented and brought before the Court of Common Council ? Mr. PILCHER—Yes; and also that it be presented to the Court of Aldermen. The LORD 'MAYOR said that he would take care that the getting • wishes of the petitioners were complied with, and would be most happy to lend his aid in a restoration of their I privileges. The RECORDER observed that the charter of Edward VI. gave the inhabitants a court of law possessing the same r r to gntry, said the Court of capital felonies. power us the Lord Manor's C o urt did . sDlrClAlisesstntshepocslseersksedofthtehpeoware ai I Quarter The LORD MAYOR said that he would take care that proper attention was paid to the petition.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—To-day, at one o'clock, a meeting of merchants and other inhabitants of Liverpool was held in the Amphitheatre, Great Charlotte-street, "for the purpose of considering the best means of aiding the operations of the Anti-Corn-law Lague at the present crisis." About 4,000 persons were present, the galleries being densely, and the boxes and pit, to which the charge for admission was is., being also well filled by ladies and gentlemen. The only extra decoration in the entire building on this occasion was an immense inscription, stretching the entire length of the stage, immediately over the chairman's s ea t, bearing the words "We will stand it no longer." At one o'clock precisely Mr. W. Brown took the chair ; on the stage, surrounding him, were Mr. Richard Cobden, Mr. John Bright, Colonel Thompson. Mr. Thomas Thornely, M.P., Mr. 'William Rathbone, Mr. R. E. Harvey, Mr. Vin cent Higgins, Mr. John Finch, Mr. John Pinch, juti., Alder man Eyre Evans, Mr. Lawrence Heyworth, Mr. James H. Macrae, Mr. George Crossfield, Mr. William Gardner, Mr. Blackburn, Mr. J. Cox, Mr. J. Ryder, Mr. Henry Romilly, Mr. Charles Robertson, Mr. 11. Jevons, and many other of the leading merchants of the locality. The CHAIRMAN, after the requisition calling the meeting had been read, commenced the proceedings by saying that they had met together to co-operate with, and to strengthen and sustain, their friends of the Anti-Corn-law League — friends who had, during the long and critical period of seven years, fought 6)r them with unflinching firmness and unabated zeal the great and glorious battle of free trade. He hoped, and, indeed, he was sure they would not let the present occa sion pass with the simple approbation of the manner with which that battle had been fought; but they would, one and all, unanimously and eagerly come forward and bear testi mony to their appreciation of such exertions by a large and a creditable subscription—such a subscription as would, com bined with that of others, enable those friends fully to carry out and accomplish the objects for which they had so long contended. They had arrived at the crisis of their affairs, and it now rested with them, and the demonstration they made, whether they obtained total redress, or were offered a disgraceful compromise ; and that the latter would be rejected he had only to look around him in that vast assembly to be convinced.—(Hear, hear.) No less firmly was he convinced that those who had hitherto taken an ac tive part in advancing and giving effect to the enunciation of their principles would not surrendor the ship until they had brought her safely into port.—(Cheers.) Mr. Brown concluded by calling on Mr. RATHBONE, who rose to propose the first resolution : "Thai we, the inhabitants of Liverpool, do hereby repeat our solemn protest against the laws which prohibit the free importation of foreign grain and provisions, or interfere in any way with the natural operations of commerce, believing them to be most oppressive to the great mass of the people, and destructive alike to the manufacturing and agricultural interests of the country; that, relying upon the justice of our cause, and intelligence and honesty of our countrymen, we do declare most emphatically our firm determination not to relax in our exertions until those laws be totally repealed ; that we hereby express our high sense of the invaluable ser vices which the National Anti-Corn-law League has ren dered to the cause of free trade, and in order to enable its council to make renewed and increased exertions, a subscrip tion be now entered into in aid of the great fund of a quarter of a million, 20 per cent. to be paid up immediately; and that the following gentlemen be appointed a committee, with power to add to their number, to canvass for further sub scriptions in this town and neighbourhood." That was a long resolution, and when there were long reso lutions he made it a point to make short speeches. As in some way an illustration of the present proceedings, or rather of the new aspect which those proceedings assumed, he would take them back 50 years, and tell them that then Mr. Wil liam Roscoe, Mr. Edward Rushton, and many others, were stoned in Williamson-square, not many yards from that theatre, for protesting against the iniquitous and ferocious war with France. At that time, they would all remember, they had the life-and-property men coming forward, and conspicuously declaring that they would give away their last shilling in support of Church and State, and all that fine sort of thing—declaring that it was a glorious war. But how did those same life-and-property men redeem their pledges? When, in 1815, the war ceased, and the extent of the debt became known, how did the agriculturists come forward to redeem their pledges and give their aid in relieving the people from the burden? By passing a corn-law which gave them protection and added to the burden.—(Hear, hear.) They will not share those burdens, but the free traders will have justice. There is justice for Ireland and justice for England, and, as there is a God in Heaven, they shall have its-s-(Great cheering.) L. Heywonm, Esq., seconded the resolution. He said it would be superfluous and unnecessary on that occasion to expose the fallacies which had been put forward by the ad vocates of monopoly, and to show that distress and injury to the national prosperity had been produced by the operation of the corn-laws. The purpose which they had now in view was one that affected not this country alone, but the whole human family, for the various nations of the earth were now opening their eyes to the importance of the subject.—(Hear, hear.) On the last occasion upon which he addressed a meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool, he stated to them that General George M'Duffie in America had, in a manner creditable to him as a Christian and a patriot, declared his abhorrence of all protective duties, and since that declara tion of General M'Duffie's appeared they had heard the sen timents of a member of the American Government, Mr. Walker, to the same effect. Mr. Walker, alluding to this subject, had said, " Let our commerce be as free as our poli tical,institutions; let us with revenue duties only open our ports to all the world, and nation after nation will soon follow our example. If we reduced our tariff, the party opposed to the corn-laws of England would soon prevail, and admit all our agricultural products at all times into her ports in ex change for her exports. And if England would now repeal her duties upon our wheat, flour, Indian corn, andother agri cultural products, our own restrictive system would certainly be doomed to overthrow."—(Cheers.) It was plain, there fore, as he had already remarked, that this was a cause in which the whole world was concerned, and which every man who was a patriot and a Christian might safely support. — (Hear, hear.) He hoped, therefore, that the inhabitants of Liverpool would put their hands in their pockets, and come forward in a proper spirit to support it. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., who was received with much ap plause, spoke as follows :—I cannot for the moment help looking back at the period when I first formed one of a de putation from the Anti-Corn-law League to visit the town and port of Liverpool, to invite its large, intelligent, and en terprising population to assist us in the great contest upon which we were then entering. I recollect that, although there was a large audience to greet us, it was felt by every body in the town, that amongst many very influential per sons there was extremely little sympathy with the object we had, in view. We .have found, however, that here, as else where, by persevering labour, by honest devotion to one great cause and to one good principle, we have gradually stimulated our friends to renewed and increased exertions, and diminished, to a very large extent, the opposition we encountered from those who did not coincide with our views. At present we have, I believe, the whole kingdom in favour of the principles we have expounded.—(Cheers.) The townspeople, as a rule, are in favour of the emancipation of the industry of the people.—(Cheers.) Intelligent land lords we have had from the beginning along with us, and we find that the number of such who approve our policy and unite with us increases every year. Intelligent farmers, too, we have had from the beginning, and we find that farmers even who are not the foremost in their class for in telligence and general knowledge are receiving willingly the principles we have expounded to them, and are beginning to doubt, or altogether to disbelieve, the advantages which their landlords have asserted they would derive from a maintenance of the protective system.—(Cheers.) But of the vast body of farm labourers throughout the kingdom, I believe we may say that they are with us as unanimously as are the labourers in the manufactories of Lancashire and Yorkshire.—(Cheers.) We have succeeded, if not in con verting, at least in changing two Ministries since our agita tion began—(Cheers)—and we have rendered it impossible that any party should now take office who is in favour of maintaining, or will pledge itself to the attempt to maintain, the corn-law as it now exists, or in fact any corn-law at all. —(Loud cheers.) But there is a class of our opponents who are still unchanged; I mean that class represented by the dukes, the high aristocracy, and squirarchy, whose speeches have recently occupied so much space in the columns of the Morning Post. I have been charged with endeavouring to bring the aristocracy into public contempt, and certainly I have said harsh things of them, for I have felt harshly to wards them.—(Cheers.) No man can see what I have seen in con nexion with this question holding the opinions I entertain, and knowing that this corn-law has been supported by that class, without feeling his blood at times boil within him, and feel ings not, I admit, the most Christian rising within him with reference to the conduct of a class which has systematically, for a generation at least, sacrificed the great interests of the people to the selfish and miserable interests of a class.— (Cheers.) But I defy any man living to point to any speech made by any member of the Anti-Corn-law League which deals such fatal blows at the permanence and supremacy of the aristocratic element in the British constitution as the speeches which have been made within the last month by men who are so fond of that element and so devoted to that supremacy that they would willingly sacrifice even the people to maintain them. Most of you have read what has been said by duke, lord, and squire, within the last month. Now, I ask you, as representatives of a great commenrcl!sleyi munity, are you of opinion that these men are q their intelligence or their sympathy with right `alma mer people to rule ovor and to regulate the trade an and the al empires? cantile affairs of this the greatest of all comm --(Cheers.) Arc you in Liverpool willing nt e n. r c se i iat st u n g ] : and i and that other towns should sit still, making, .a ss _ ve rP y i calling living just as you can, all merely p yourselves citizens of this gr eat kingdom, and if law gathering to did not interfere, having th e power of g your selves the riches of the who le earth, and adding incalculably whole to the comfort and well - b ein g of the pop a i ion—are you willing that these m en, w ho have proved their ignorance and incompetency so th at everyone must see it, should s till the commerce of this rule over and legislate for . • great king domand cries " We'll stand it no ?—(Loud cheering, h b • •' longer.") e said from t e eginnisag, and all experience has confirmed the opinion then expressed, that the com-law did good to no human being, unless it starved some human being. I could refer you to the report of a meeting which took place a few days since at Lyparn, in Wiltshire, where 1,000 labourers assembled by the light of the moon to discuss the grievances they suffered under this, law. Talk of a reign of terror in another country, what a reign of terror is it not in this country when these 1,000 labourers come out from their hovels almost at dead night to tell of the tyranny under which they believed themselves to labour, and proclaim to the world that the magnanimous aristocracy who ruled the country let them cultivate their lands for 55., 65.. 7s. a week, while in Parliament and before the world they had avowed for the last thirty years at least they had maintained these laws ostensibly to protect these very labourers.—(Cheers.) These are critical times. Mr. Hey worth has spoken of the United States, :Sad read a paragraph from the report of Mr. Secretary Walks r, which ought to be published in every newspaper in the kingdom, and be read by every man in Great Britain and Irelland—a report which extends the friendly band of America to this country, asks us to forget bygones, and be brethren, as we ought now to be.—(Loud cheers.) A great reduction of the American tariff must follow the abolition of our cams-law, and the abo lition of the corn-law will for ever destroy all chance of war between this country and the United StsGtes.—(Loud cheer ing.) Recollect, too, that the Prime Min later of England is in a position of extraordinary difficulty—ouch a position as no Prime Minister, perhaps, has occupiet 1 in the memory t-*ti 7. / PRICE SD. of any one-now present. He is the leader of a party who change not, whose obtuseness, whose infatuation, must even tually be their ruin. He is much wiser than they. He sees that Parliamentary majorities go for nothing against the necessities of an united people.—(Cheers.) At this moment, in all human probability, he is balancing within his own mind what shall be the precise measure he will submit to Parliament the week after next—shall it be total and imme diate repeal? shall it be total but not immediate? or shall it be neither immediate nor total, but some compromise which shall leave this question unsettled? These are the questions which are passing through the wind of the Prime Minister, and the questions which ho must weigh, hoWever well he may be disposed to do that which is really right and just. How can he come to the decision to which we wish to invite him? Not by his own individual strength—he knows that argument does nothing with the men whose champion he has been in former years.—(Cheers.) He knows that all per suasion with them is unavailing. He knows they saw the trade of the country sink—aye, and their fellow creatures dying of hunger, inflicted by the corn-laws, and yet they did not quail nor give in. —(Loud cheers.) He calls to you and to the whole kingdom to help him—(Cheers) — to obtain redemption from this thraldom.—(Cheers.) On Wednesday next we shall go to Leeds, to add to the sub scriptions to this fund. We want this money, and we must have it.—(A voice, " You shall have it," and loud cheers.) If you aro not disposed to pay it, we must go somewhere else, where the people are so disposed. No man could look around him upon the vast changes that had taken place without acknowledging, with regard to the position that the cause of free -trade now occupii d, that if ten times the money had been expended, and ten times the amount of labour had been encountered, the result would have been cheaply purchased as a glorious consummation.—(Great cheering.) Every man here who had ever given a farthing in pro motion of the objects of the League should consider the position in which .he was now placed. If the object were worth fighting for at all, it was worth fighting for until attained—if this great struggle were worth commencing at all, it was wo th carrying out to a final and successful issue —(Cheers)—if they wished the money they had in vested in this great undertaking for national emancipation to bear its fruits, let them add to that investment now.— (Cheers.) Liverpool had had no great reputation heretofore as connected with this great question, but there were still men in the town who had done as much for the cause of free trade as any in the kingdom, with the means they had at their disposal.—(Hear, hear.) Hitherto Liverpool had sent to Parliament—and still did send to Parliament—as their re, presentatives, men who did not represent the true interests of that great commercial community.—(Hear, hear.) But he was happy to believe with confidence, that as soon as another occasion should come—and come he believed it would before another summer should shine over them—(llear, hear)—all that past disgrace would be wiped away, and Liverpool would take her just position in the front of this great battle. —(Cheers.) The Hon. Member concluded his speech amidst the most rapturous cheering. It was then announced that a ',note had been received from Mr. Wilson, regretting his inability to attend, in consequence of pressing engagements.

Of the aggregate sum of 14,000 L, there are, we under stand, about 3,000/. which were subscribed at Manchester, but, being the subscriptions of inhabitants of Liverpool, were again announced at this meeting. Mr. COBDEN now rose to address the meeting, and was re ceived with rapturous applause. He said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, Ifeel that lam unable to say anything which could have such effect upon public opinion, or upon the Government, as these manifestations of zeal and determi nation which you have so liberally exhibited to-day.-- (Cheers.) Nor is it necessary that I should appear here as a beggar, and, in fact, I am not at all apt at that work, but fortunately for me, I have a colleague in my friend Bright, who has the best face for a beggar of any man I know.— (Cheers and laughter.) He has impressed upon him self the belief, that by persuading others to come forward in the same munificent manner in which he has come forward himself, he confers upon them a great advantage, by inducing them to co-operate with him in the support of the cause which he advocates, and en abling them to reflect in future days upon having been concerned in the exertions to accompLsh one of the greatest reforms which the world ever witnessed.—(Cheers.) There is one point to which, on this occasion, it is necessary that I should refer. An attempt has been made by our 01 3 1: 0- nents to convey the idea that by some ingenious ilecTrar t g we are to turn the 250,000/. which we intend to raise to body of l o o u w r o cr p ea po t n io e n nts o f ou c g o h n county t t y o vote rs, take ttime to t cn re allydtehre b g e n e f r e e n i t l h b e o y d those raw jokes of their leaders.—(Cheers.) They ought to recollect that a sum of 250,0001., of which only one-fourth is to be called for at present, would be able to create no mere than 500 votes, and that fact alone ought to satisfy their minds on the subject of our intention to create ear.l co w un e ty d v o o n te o s t by this subscription of 250,000/.—(Hear, h propose any such thing as the creation of county votes by this fund. We only propose to establish a proper machinery to carry out our purpose--to create a fund which would pay the expenses of having a secretary and clerks, of printing, advertising, and other indispensable outlays, in order to put the operatives and middle classes of this country in such a position as to enable them to carry out the course which we propose—(Hear, hear)—to enable them to place other counties in the same situation, as regards the registration, which South Lanca shire, and Cheshire, and Yorkshire now occupy.—(Cheers.) There is nothing to be done in South Lancashire, but in a neighbouring county the effects of that course can be most successfully exhibited.—(Cheers.) There is an important district on the other side of the river, and Liverpool and Lan cashire have it in charge to make South Cheshire as safe as South Lancashire.—(Hear, hear.) 1 cannot allow this occa sion to pass without saying that the subscription you have made to-day does infinite credit to Liverpool. In Manches ter we are differently situated : we have no monopolist inte rest, we have no West India or Canada merchants to give a fashionable tone to society, and favour monopoly.—(Hear, hear.) We are in Manchester unprotected cotton manu facturers. In Liverpool there is a divided interest, and there are no `tributary towns to swell the sub scriptions ; and, taking these circumstances into considera tion, I loek upon the subscription of to-day as fully equal to the subscription in Mancheste r.— ( Loud cheers.) What you have done to-day .encourages the hope that what you are about to do will be decisive of this question. I have no doubt that there will be a dissolution of Parliament be fore this question is settled—l have no doubt that before Midsummer there will be a dissolution of Parliament, and you cannot over estimate the importance of the course which Liverpool shall pursue on the occasion of the ensu ing election.—(Hear, hear.) In speaking of the probable results of the anticipated election, I have always heard it asked, " What will Liverpool do in the case of an elec tion 1 " I wish to give the friends of free trade an oppor tunity of returning advocates of free trade at the next election ; and let it be remembered that this is no party question, but, on the contrary, it is likely to break up all political party feeling. Within the next fortnight you will be placed in a position in Liverpool in which you were never placed before. We have evidence before us that the Govern ment will bring forward a measure opposed to the views of the monopolists. Mr. Christopher, who, on a former occasion, was looked upon as the pilot-balloon of Sir Robert Peel rn (Laughter)—has stated that he is oppose d to the govern (Laughter)—has ment ; and the Duke of Newcastle, who owns the iborough o f Newarkstates tha hear.) H that Mr. Here eare o Gladstone iesrshporou s n t o h t at e s a i r ga ß i n . returned.—(Hear, wilt separate him Peel is going to propose a measure whith - from those former supporters of his, and believe me, that sal rupture in the House of Commons will soon be followed by al rupture of the same party in Liverpool. On this day fort night the great Conservative party in Liverpool will be scat tered to the winds.—(Cheers.) Next Friday week, when you meet your fellows-townsmen in the Exchange, you will not know what to call them.—(Laughter.) You have in Liverpool two sections of Conservatives, the moderate Con servatives or Peelites, and the Ultras, or what may be called the Buckingham or Richmondites--(Laughter)—but three fourths, or I should perhaps say four-fifths of the Conserva tives in Liverpool are Peelites.—(lleat, hear.) When Sir R. Peel introduces his measure, that party Will find themselves in a different position. The moderate Conservatives may not, perhaps, come round and join us at once, but this is quite clear, that when Sirßobert Peel introduces his measure they will be absolved fram all party ties, and they can bring. their minds to the discussion of this question on it own merits , . This day fortnight, the merchants of Liverpool will see that free trade means more trade , and with all the countries of the globe. Your brokers, too, who have been sometimes ac cused of being a little venal, and of following the merchants rather slavishl3, will be released from their party ties. Brokers must see that more imports must produce more safes upon change, and that more sales will produce more busi ness to the brokers. Shipowners and builders, also, must see that the adoption of free trade, requiring the adoption of more vessels, must bring more vessels to the port; that mere vessels will, in consequence, be re paired there, and that more vessels , too, will be built there. On these principles the interests of shipowners and builders must be as completely identified with the cause of free trade as are the interests of the merchant and the broker. Again, with regard to labour; does it not appear to those who have been accustomed to vote . only with their party, that. more ships coming into the port will bring mote work to the shipwrights, the ship carpenter, the caulkers, and the smiths ?—( Hear, hear.) And not merely those, but every porter, every man engaged in manual labour, must see that his interests are as completely identified as those of the others with this change. Therefore, every man capable of reason, having an honest desire to arrive at the truth when released from these bonds of party, will become as sound a free trader as any one in the .room— (Cheers) —but let us have no impediment in the way of these conversions. Let us do as they did in the West Riding of • Yorkshire the other day—throw away the old colours and adopt the pure white as the emblem of our peaceful and just cause.—(Cheers.) Ido not know what' your eolours are. I think I have beard that one party adopts scarlet. Well, that is a bloody colour; away with it. Some they say adopt the blue. We will have nothing to do with that, for it is the colour of the cholera in the potatoes. Let us adopt white as the colour of the banner of peace, the flag of truce at the next election. And if, as I venture to prophecy there will, a dissolution ahbuld take place on this bread question, it will be again as it was in the Reform crisis, when General Gas coigne could not get through his canvass, that a protec tionist, a pro-corn-law-man, a curry-powder candidate will not dare to show himself here.—(Enthusiastic cheering, in the midst of which the Hon. Gentleman sat down.) Colonel TnomPsox and Mr. THORI.TELY, M.P., then ad dressed the meeting, and the proceedings terminated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 9.—lt being found more convenient for the defects of the Bittern to be made good in the narbour, she was towed in by the Echo steamer, on Wed nesday. The dock-yard artificers expect to complete her next week, when she will be paid, and proceed . to the coast of Africa. The Daring brig sailed for Bermuda on Wednesday afternoon, and is to be attached to the squadron in the West Indies, under command of Vice-Admiral Sir F. Austen. The Scourge steamer was moved out of dock yester day, and the Rattler put in her place; she will continue until the tides will admit of the Rodney being taken in, which will probably be to-morrow or Monday. The Alban steamer is to go to Plymouth and Cork on Monday, taking marines for Ireland. Mr. Kerley, Master Attendant of Chatham Dock yard, and the people who assisted him in navigating the Janus steamer to this harbour, returned to the River Medway yesterday in the Emerall and Mercury tenders. The Janus is of course now in ordinary, and, until the committee appointed by the Admiralty , have examined her engines, and reported on them, no further work will be executed in her. The hull of the Janus is new, and, should it be considered advisable, other en gines could be substituted, or she could be fitted with a screw. In her present state, there is great prejudice against the Janus. The officers selected to revise the rigging-warrants of her Majesty's ships consist of Captain Sir Richard Grant, and Mr. Elson, the master of her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, William Purdo, Esq., first master atten dant of this dock-yard, and Mr. Flinn, the master of the Victory. They commenced the duty yesterday on board the Rodney, when she crossed royal yards, and had all her running and other rigging in their placer. A vessel of every class will be brought forward, and have the rigging warrant revised. A trial has been made this week by Captain Chads, of the Excellent, of a method to break, or displace, a boom placed across a creek or harbour. Instead of the tedious and hazardous plan now generally adopted, of sending boats under cover of a heavy fire from the ship (and in some instances not even with that), to cut it away with axes, &c., as was the case recently at Borneo, it is proposed to fix a breaker, or iron cask, to the boom, with a charge of about 25 or 301bs. of powder, having a proper fuse attached, and endeavour to blow it free of the passage. Yesterday a spare mast being obtained, and chained to a floating buoy in the Channel, near the Excellent, a breaker, filled with powder, was made fast on it, a fuze lighted ; in about eight or ten minutes, allowing sufficient time for the boats to get clear, the explosion took place, and large masses of the piece of timber, of from six to ten feet in length, were torn off. Of course the parties, not being under fire of an enemy, had no risk to encounter. The time occupied in fixing the charge was only a. minute or two ; and, from this trial, it is evident the plan is a good one, and may, if adopted, be the means of saving many lives in future operations where a boom, or obstruction to the passage of armed boats up a river, is to be removed in face of an enemy. At Borneo, the other day, some hours elapsed before the boom which the pirates had placed across the river could be dis placed, and Mr. Gibbard, mate, and some seamen, were killed while doing it. Next week there will be some more experimental firing from the Excellent. The fun nel of a steam-vessel is ordered to be fitted on a floating stage, secured by iron chains in the usual way, for the purpose of ascertaining what effect, and how soon, the firing of shot or shells may have on it; the stage will be anchored at a regular distance from the Excellent, and then practised at. As this has never yet been tried, it has, on the suggestion of Captain Chads, been or dered, and the Admiralty have caused an old steamer's funnel to be sent from Woolwich for that purpose. Commander R. S. Hewlett, late gunnery lieutenant et the Illustrious is appointed commander of the Excellent, in place of Captain Begot, promoied- Letters have been received front her Majesty's brig Kingfisher, from Teneriffe, dated the Bth of December. She had a very wet and bad passage out. It was in tended to call at Madeira, but the tempt tuous state of the weather would not admit of Commaoder Brown going in. The Kingfisher was to sail on the i;;th of De cember, and the officers hoped to get to the la.land of Ascension by Christmas-day. The enlargement of the new steam basin at the nor'th part of the dockyard having been approved, the neces'e sary orders from the Admiralty have this week been is— sued, and the work will be carried into operation with— out loss of time. The place called the Buildings bas, been cleared of all the erections, and now belongs to the Crown. The basin and east sea wall are to be extended 300 feet. Two additional docks are to be made on the east side of tho basin, capable of holding the largest sized steamers; on the west side there is a double dock in a. forward state, one entrance being from the harbour, and the other from the steam basin. At the" north angle of the dockyard a fifth new dock ia; to be made, instead of a building slip, and' this will open direct from the harbour. The contractor Mr. Peter Rolte, has now about 500 mechanics and the clo t e ek b y e a f a d bourers at work on this great undertaking, and as the, season advances will take on abo ut 200 more. A hard,, or landing place, for the use of the inhabitants of the, town, will sF r e b d e e r f i o c r k m ,s e d to Battery the and Magazi ne eastward fh are e andla l e rea s d a y re built; ec. u eluded in the do ck y ard, another battery will be made, ton comman d the appro aches on either side , and in front..
