TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE POUNDS A YEAR CLEAR FOR SIXTEEN YEARS. A PROSPECTIVE INCREASE OF ONE tiUNDRED POUNDS A-TEAR MORE FOR TWENTY-FOUR YEARS AFTER. THE TENANT UN EXCEPTIONABLE. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL 1741_ by AUCTION, at the Mart, on TtitraaDAY, July 23, at Twelve, A FIItST-RATE RESIDENCE AND EXTENSIVE PREMISES, approximating upon the famed Bazaar. It is No. 54, BAKER-STREET, a corner house, recently placed in the most perfect order, not alone for the convenience and gratification of a first-rate family for occu pation, but it possesses A SPLENDID MAGAZIN OF CONSIDERABLE SPACE, an erection in uncommonly good taste, and presenting a humble copy of SEW ELL AND CROSS'S SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENT; although confessedly not quite so large, but for perfect convenience to carry out an immensely profitable concern, it will yield to very few in London. it may be well to observe that the tenant, Mr. Houle, claims the very great advantage of respectability m'xed up with an equal proportion of responsibility. As a safe tenant the Bank dividends do not offer greater security; he has (to render his place perfect) ENCOUNTERED AN OUTLAY OF THREE THOUSAND POUNDS, which ke has expellLd With great caution and equal judgment; in deed, he seems to have rendered it complete throughout. THE SPLENDID ABODE in days of yore was a residence for a nobleman or merchant of high standing, and the present possessor, partaking of similar feelings, has restored it to a tit state for the most fastidious to enjoy, observing Mr. Mottle, who (fortunately for himself) has still a sixteen years' lease unexpired, is not to be tempted even to give hope that money would incline him to quit it. lie would (it is believed) rather look forward to the determination of his term, and then to renew, although he sees but too clearly that his outlay has added, at the end of his n lease, epo.. a . n m additional . e a a n r n 4 c o a o l l va a lu y e ea o r f . sto is now nao-,yvelaera.s Theleased dto h i r m en f t o b r before 2001., hatepende ( t w ltty rt o h f ttu t. co n ac.h y hor:o and stables in , C e r , a d wford-street. Dorset Mews years, bet the estate under consideration has still at7unex:ir t edistra OF FORTY YEARS, subject only to the orglnal ground rent or 2st. ; a purchaser will therefore have to be content with A BANK-NOTE TENANT, and rental of two hundred guineas for the first sixteen years, and then with just confidence look to an increased income of at least one hundred a year. ' The residence is really worthy of a nobleman s occupation. Its appearance within and without justifies the assertion;lt contains five upper chambers, four best bed-rooms. The drawing room floor has four elegant rooms. The entrance hall is capital. This story is used for the bazaar, and there are lots of useful appendages, and accommodation for twenty clerks, who superintend this profitable ready money vocation. On the basement is a large kitc'ien, a dining-room for the establishment up stairs, and a sleeping room. There is also a larder, a pantry, good cellars, &c., &c.

Thistle-grove is at Old Brompton, with ready access to Keislngton-gardens and Hyde-park, and the de lightful abode is placed in a little sequestered spot, just removed from the noise and bustle of the public road.

The Villa displays a proud distinction over all its neighbouring rivals.

THIS LITTLE ELtSIUM comfort is conspicuous in every department, and finished with a degree cf taste that wi'l amply repay a ride fro 7n the metropolis. The tact that prevails is of a peculiar cast ; it disdains the prevailing order, and takes the lead Without any fear from a contemporary Indeed, ingenuity may be taxed, for it would be puzzled, to discover a single want, and Mr. Robins invokes all those who would POSSESS AN INCOMPARABLE GEM to seek ocular demonstration, and thus ccmfirm thi,rnederate report. It stands within an acre (or perhaps less) of ground, laid out in such good taste, that ReptOn would have gladly hailed it as his own off spring, and the ingenuity of separating the kitchen garden from the extended and beautiful lawn is a master-piece of of Ingenuity. At the extreme end is A BEAUTIFUL HOT -HOUSE, heated by warm water, and finished in a superior manner. There is close by, but entirely unseen, a two-stall stable, two coach houses, and harness-room, a loose box, with coachman's rooms, and hay depository above. In respect to the Villa, without fatiguing the reader with a lengthened detail, it may suffice to state there are four superior Company (they might be called State) Rooms ; the de coration throughout is worthy of Mr. Fairs; indeed it cannot be excePed. The doors of the Drawing-room are distinguished by plate glass and the windows with stained glass. These apartments are so perfect that really Elysium is brought to recollection. There are live bed-chambers and dressing-rooms, with a edmodite, well placed ; EUGENE SUE'S NEW NOVEL.

A CAPITAL BATH-ROOM, well constructed ; and there are two bed-rooms for the females, and, over the conch-houses two for the males. On the basement is a su perior kitchen, with larder butler's pantry, and every essential appendage to comfort : and be it known, every place is not only in the best keeping, but also in the best possible order. There can be no need to unloose the purse-strings, for ingenuity cannot find occa sion for the slightest outlay. The entree is xell managed, from ground not otherwise required. Indeed, after taling much pains to discover room for improvement, Mr. Robins had the satisfaction to !Ind his ingenuity could not accomplish it. THE WHOLE IS FREEHOLD, so that a purchaser has the pleasing knowledge that his comforts may descend to his latest posterity,. without the alley of fresh and expensive renewals. The t9ste and style of the villa and Its appendages throughout will incline a purchaser to avail himself of the power to take it all as it stands, at a valuation, but this is quite optional.

GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 6th 4)f August, at Twelve, in One Lot, by direction of the devisees In trust of William Head, deceased. AN EXCEEDINGLY FAVOURABLE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT ; _ _ indeed, as it respects both the land and the tenant, it recalls to Mr. Robins' recollection THE RECENT WARWICKSHIRE SALE and its result, since few far compete with the one now under consideration. It consists`q f a superior residence, altogether adapted to . A SPORTING GENTLEMAN'S OCCUPATION, (and In a spdrting ceuntry be it remembered), with Garden, offices well arranged, and surrounded by PARKLIKE GROUNDS, PLAN TATION'S, LAWN, and SHRUBBERIES; also A SUPERIOR FREEHOLD FARM, EXTENDING TO 34(1 ACRES, of a lirst-rato soil. It is, without any mistake, a really good Turnip Farm, with the greater proportion adapted to fatten cattle, haieed the Estate may be denominated altogether one of the best farina to be found throughout this desirable County ; it is TITHE FREE, AND LAND-TAX REDEEMED, except a very small portion. The Buildings are all suitable, and the Estate is WITHIN A RING FENCE, one short mile from THE CAPITAL MARKET OF DAVENTRY, and not three hours removed from London. Mr. Goodman is a bank note tenant, and will be but too happy to secure a Lease. The pre sent very low Rent is SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR, and Mr. Robins, it is known, has proclaimed a fact that was corro borated recently at the Sale alluded to, that the agricultural world have been MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT; and it is no longer doubtful that land must, and will progress, with the recent wise proceedings ; thus the staple commodity of the land will become, by far, THE SAFEST INVESTMENT IN THE MARKET. The Buildings are all of the first class. In short, It would puzzle a clever man to discover a single fault.

HANOVER LODGE, IN THE REGENT'S PARK. I U, R. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by 1 it THE NOBLE POPRIETOR TO SELL, by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TUESDAY, the 18th or August, at Twelve o'clock. The Splendid MANSION, which has been a distinguishing feature of tits Regent's Park. It is known as HANOVER LODGE and it may be affirmed, without faring that any one can gainsay it, throughout this splendid Park there is nothing that can altogether surpass it. In a limited /The{) it really appears a miracle how so much has been achieved. IT IS THE HITS IN URBE for it possesses everything that those who would rusticate in the country, or join in THE SPLENDID SOIREES OF THE GAY METROPOLIS OF LONDON can desire. In a little demesne, extending to FOUR ACRES. ONLY, will be found lots of hilla;ida,;;;;;., wood and water, grounds un dulating everywhere; the rich plantations extending to_ TIIE - REGhNT'S CANAL and ORNAMENTAL BRIDGE and WATERS; and it must not be forgotten that THIS PETITE ELYSEUM, is within half an hour's drive of the Palace, the Theatres, and both the Houses of Legislature. In fact the ensemble may safely challenge a comparison anywhere and everywhere. The accommodation within this delightfhl retreat is precisely such as a family of pretensions would desire ; observing there may be found within an opportunity for an ingenious lady, and one of taste, to cause a little outlay in ornamental decoration which may benefit the interior. The principal rooms are decorated throughout with acknowledged taste. For a grand soiree they are without a rival, the banquetting room is of capital proportions, and the bed-chamber department quite complete. TIIE ORANGERY AND CONSERVATORY adorn one side of the Mansion, and with the greenhouse on the verdant lawn, and the American plants, and the flowering shrubs, a scene is exhibited of surpassing beauty and effect. THE OFFICES ARE ALL CAPITAL and entirely shut out of view. A five•stall stable, two coach-houses, harness-room, with buildings adapted for a dairy, and many other such luxuries. THE ESTATE IS HELD OF THE CROWN, and demised under most favourable circumstances for those whose fancy may incline them to indulge a little more in embellishment and alteration; the term to he sold exceeds forty-four years—the ground-rent a bagatelle of 341. a year. It can only be seen by tickets from eleven till six, and particulars had William Robinson, Esq., solicitor, Lancaster ; of Messrs.

THE VENERABLE T tHiRETTED CHAPEL AND DOVECOTE, with a portion of the building, bearing evidence of great antiquity, but its interest is increased by its having been the abode of the cele brated Sir J. Tiirockmorton, THE PROJECTOR OF THE GUNPOWDER PLOT, who held many private moetings in one of the chambers, which is still preserved. The estate passed through several hands, and, during the war of the Commonwealth, sustained its heaviest de vastatson. SIR PAUL BACOT, conceived the resteration and extension of the Mansion in the Olden style of architecture, and, with • TILE ASSISTANCE AND EXPERIENCE OF SIR JEFFERY WYATTVILLE, reared a most beautiful structure ; but it was left to the present pro prietor to alter, improve, and bring to perfection, for its size, the most elegant and complete chateau that can be found amongst England's boasted beauties. 01 the exterior it is impossible to speak too much in praise ; its ivy -mantled towers and walls, noble Oriel windows, turreted embattlements and cloistered avenue, form a tout ensemble which cannot fail to please the mind's eye of the most fastidious in classical architecture ; whilst in the interior the effect, is one of surpassing elegance and variety, combining taste with comfort, and nobility with simplicity; from each window the most lovely and diversifying scene is presented, and from those of THE NOBLE CORRIDOR THE MONK'S GARDEN is seen - inOY the quietude and repose necessary for contemplation. The family arrangements leave nothing to be desired; the bed chambers are ample and most delightful, and the reception rooms of singular elegance; whilst the noble dining-hall cannot fail to be admired. THE GROUNDS WHICH ENCOMPASS THE MANSION are delightfully disposed, ornamented with noble trees of every description gracefully feathering to the ground, particularly many time-honoured oaks, and a row of remarkable sycamores, which add their importance to the scene, and from THE BAS (lONS OF THE IiATTLEMENTED TERRACE the most lovely and extended view, unsurpassable for richness of foliage andverdant pasture, is presented, whiLgt at all times a health ful and dry promenade is afforded. The Garden is well laid out, and a walk, clothed with the choicest evergreens leading to some extent, lends its aid to vary the attractions. The Offices may bo pronounced perfect, and the Court-yard, enclos ing the Carriage Houses and Stabling for eleven horses, is most ex cellent, the Farm Yard close at hand. THE DOMAINEXT.LNDS TO 231 ACRES _ _ the whole being admirable pasture, and woods watered with numerous springs and ponds of delicious water, and capable of feeding to almost any extent, and consequently rendering the estate not only one of importance but of profit ; a stone wall, judiciciously screened from view, encompasses the property, and it may fearlessly be added, an objection does not exist which can militate against the true enjoyment of it; if the purchaser be inclined to politics, A SEA ' FOR THE BOROUGH OF STROUD may fairly be calculated upon. Pews in the parish churches of Stroud and Bisley appertain to the property, and the outgoings are un usually moderate. Also, the extensive and VALUABLE AIANORIAL RIGHTS connected with the estate.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times. except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to he in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all , by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lib e advantages on our offspring to follow, and linen,- by the cultiv.tion )f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mina as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as hest beeornes the highest of God's creations.

THE HAGUE, JULY 15.—The King has arrived here this morning at half-past ten o'clock, returning from Soestsdyk. One of the most useful undertakings executed in our time is certainly the union of the Vessel Zuyder Zee at Ems. M. A. Van Ituneri, who ha s purchased 5,000 acres of turfmoor, has applied to the Government for permission to dig a canal through the moor from Koeverden to the Ems, near ➢ieppen. MARSTRECHT, JULY 13.—The day before yesterday a fire broke out in the commune of Kerkraida, which destroyed six houses, and but for the timely assistance that was afforded, would have done considerable injury. If there had been any fire-engines the damage would not have been so great. We cannot speak in sufficiently expressive terms of the conduct of Mr. Nans, who exposed himself to imminent danger in saving the effects of the poor people from the midst of the flames. We do not know whether the sufferers were insured. AMSTERDAM, JULY 16.—We have latterly spoke of extra steam-boats that have arrived at Rotterdam from London. This time the Orwell steamer, dispatched by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, has performed the voyage with extraordinary rapidity. It left London on Tuesday at three o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived at Rotterdam at eight o'clock on \Vedneday morning—that is in 17 hours, in cluding the time lost in waiting for a pilot, and the visit of the Custom-house officers. BREDA, JULY 15.—Yestorday Lord and Lady Villiers, the first . a Member of the British. Parliament and the latter daughter of the great and celebrated Sir Robert Peel, arrived here. These distinguished persona proceeded to the seat Burgik, belonging to Baron Van Nahuws, whence they will go in a few days to England.—Dutch Papers, July 18. , . DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTERDAM, JULY 17.

POLISH FRONTIERS, LIGURNAY, JULY, 1846.—We hear on authority that may be depended upon that, in the eon ference relative to the future destiny of Cracow, the pro posals have prevailed by which the existence of the Republic will be insured ; but such disturbances as lately occurred will be prevented. We know nothing here of any decided interference of English and French diplomacy having co• operated in this result. It is also affirmed that an arrange ment has been made by which the investigation of the late events will be prosecuted with all convenient dispatch, and that no more capital punishment will be inflicted. Prince Paskewitsch has taken with him a list of favours relative to the kingdom of Poland, which it is supposed will be pub lished on occasion of the marriage festivities. POSEN, JULY s.—The young Count Pouinski has been set at liberty, on the universal application of our President of the Police to the Governor of Kalisch, who sent for instruc tions to Warsaw. Count Pouinski has been here this week. He has no cause to complain of the manner in which he was treated by the Russian authorities, beyond the circumstance of his being arrested at Kalisch; he was only placed under the superintendence of the police, and not subjected to any further inconvenience. KoxicsnuaGH, JULY s.—We have just seen a private. letter from a German physician at Tiflis, dated the 31st of May, which says :—" Of cholera we see nothing here; all that is stated in the newspapers about it is gross falsehood. COPRNITAGEN, Jux.r 13.—The King and Queen of Sweden have arrived here this morning; an immense concourse of persons collected at the Custom-house, and the city seemed quite deserted. Several steam-boats crowded with company put out to sea to meet them in the roads. The King and the Crown Prince went to meet them. Our Queen and Princess received them on landing, and then proceeded, amidst loud acclamations of the people, to the Palace at Amalsenburg. BERLIN, JULY 16.—The King has been pleased to appoint M.

New - Torn TUESDAY.—A vacancy having occurred in the representation of this division of the county of Lancaster, in consequence of the elevation of the late Tory Member, Lord F. Egerton, to the House of Lords, under the title of Lord Ellesmere, the election to the vacant seat took place this day, when the third largest constituency in the kingdom, following the example of the only two constituencies which stand before it in point of numbers (the West Riding of Yorkshire and the City of London), returned a free-trade tlember to Parliament without the slightest show of opposition. Here also occured what Lord Morpetle speak ing of his own quiet and unanims us return for the West Riding, called " a singular contrast to preceding elections ;" for here, for the first time, the electors of South Lancashire met " under a roof, within doors, and sitting upon u chairs." The County Court, as it is termed, met this morning at ten o'clock, at the Horse anti Jockey, a second-rate tavern in this place, und.r the presi:leocy of Standish Standish, _Esq., the Sheriff ; and, small as the apartment was where the County Court wes held, there was plenty of room for Mr. Brown, his more immediate friend!, and those of the 18,148 electors who thought it necessary to attend. Amongst the supporters of Mr. Brown we noticed Alderman, Walker, Alderman Potter, Esq., R. ll.Greg.Esq., W. A. Wood Eel., J. Smith, Esq., J. D. Teornely, Esq., Samuel Thornelv, Esq , J. Harvey, Esq., G. Holt, Esq., 'l'. Jevons, Esq., J. C. Ewart, Esq., H. Holmes, Esq., C. Rawdon, Eeq., T. Black burn, Esq., J. Priestly, Esq., J. T. Crook, Esq., T. Bolton, Esq., H. Ashworth, Esq., and many others. The proceeedings were most unanimous, and when it is considered that for many years this county has sent nothing but Tories to Parliament, the triumphant and unopposed re turn of Mr. Brown, coupled with the fact of his having re ceived a requisition signed by more than half of the whole constituency, must be most gratifying to himself as a free trader, and to the supporters of liberal principles generally. The usual formalities over, • H.. GANG,: Egg., -came Prime. to propose :William' . :13rown, Esq., of. Liverpool, as. a sit and proper- person to represent them •in Parliament.— (Cheers.) It was a short and pleasing duty which he had that day to perform— , pleasing to himself and to the electors, in that he had so excellent a candidate to propose to them ; short, inasmuch as the electors in general seemed to be of the same opinion as himself with respect to the fitness of the can didate whom he had the honour to propose. It was not ne cessary for him, therefore, to detain them at any length.— (Cheers.) In proof of the unanimity which prevailed, he need only allude to the fact that not a shadow of opposition had been raised to Mr. Brown's election ; and to that other fact, which was without a parallel in that county, that Mr. Brown had received a requisition signed by not less than 8,000 electors of South Lancashire calling on him to come forward to represent their interest in Parliament.—(Cheers.) He could riot help fur one moment contrasting the happy circumstances under which they met that day with those which existed at the last election.—(Cheers.) They met before upon that very spot, with the very same candidate, fighting for the very same principles which they advocated now; and if he alluded to their discomfiture upon that occa sion, and to the repudiation of their candidate and of their principles, he did so only in order to excite a more lively satisfaction, and a more sincere gratitude.—(Cheers.) If it was pleasant to triumph over their opponents, it was tenfold more agreeable to see their opponents converted into political friends to see them advocating the principles for which they themselves had so long contended. —(Cheers.) That pleasure had been theirs (the free-traders of Lancashire) in an eminent degree; but amidst all their rejoicings, amidst all the conversions which had taken place, they must not forget that there still existed a powerful party in this country attached to their former narrow com mercial principles—they must not forget that time contest, either on a small scale or a great scale, would still be re newed between the old principles and the new ; and that they bad not only to push their new policy into more extended channels, but that they might have to defend the ground which they had so nobly and so successfully achieved.— (Loud cheers.) In such circumstances as those, it was of the utmost importance that they should possess in Parliament an able representative —an attached and tried friend, not a new convert—one whose principles, whose corinexions, whose in terests, whose very habits were interwoven with commercial freedom and the freedom of manufacturing industry.— (Cheers.) Such he believed Mr. Brown to be, and such lie believed he would prove himself if they would that day elect him their representative in Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) It had been said by some gentlemen, whose opinion was worthy of all respect, that there was no danger of their reverting to their ancient narrow policy in commercial and political affairs. If those gentlemen only meant that there was no danger of a relapse to the utmost extent of these errors, he fully and cordially agreed with them; but if they thought that there was no Weer of a partial return to them —of any reaction—then he differed from them entirely.— ( Hear, hear.) He thought, under such circumstances as existed, that a reaction was not only possible but extremely natural. In the first place, many persons had extravagant expectations of anticipated good to result from free trade, which, though they might be realised in the end, might not be realised for some time. Such anticipations, so indefinite and extravagant, were sure to lead to disappointment, and disappointment naturally led to reaction —(Chcers.) Then, again, the repeal of the corn-laws might lead in the first place to extreme low prices of agricultural produce, and that might cause great alarm amongst the agricultural classes of the country, and might give rise to combinations and to strong attempts to return to their ancient princi ples. They might also hare to meet what was not often alluded to, but what he betioeed would be found to he the fact, the disappeinted expectations of many of the manu facturing classes; for though it was true that they could compete successfully with the foreigner in those branches of industry where labour, capital, skill, and machinery were all united, yet they would find that all that class of manu facturers who relied upon the produce of the hand alone, who had hitherto had the monopoly of the home market, and had been protected by high duties, would suffer by the change.— (Hear, hear.) It was quite right in them, as manufacturers, in asking for the removal of protection from agriculture, to give up all protection from themselves, and they had done so • but he was nevertheless quite prepared to see a very con siderable importation into this country of all those articles produced solely by hand, and for which our manufacturers had hitherto possessed the whole home market.—(Cheers.) He would not say whether good or ill would result from that, but he was certain that in some quarters it might lead to dis appointment. All these circumstances combined might cause a strong reaction in favour of ancient principles, and such be ing the case, it was necessary to have a man like Mr. Brown in Parliament, whose experience would enable him to explain and to fight against circumstances of that description, founded on limited facts and on narrow views. —(Cheers.) Mr. Brown was, in his opinion, well qualified to represent them; he had been born and bred a merchant, and was therefore, by edu cation, eminently fitted to represent South Lancashire, which was but a great hive of commercial industry, and whose pro duce it was the duty of the merchant to transport to all quarters of the globe, receiving in return the produce of other countries.—(Cheers.) He had great pleasure in pro posing his friend Mr. Brown as the representative for South Lancashire. Loud cheers.) J. C. EWART, Esq., said that not having been made aware that the honour of seconding the nomination of Mr. Brown was to be confided to him, he was not prepared to address them at any length. He was quite sure that the great mea sure which had lately passed into a law would be productive not of evil, but of positive good to the agricultural interests, and he trusted that they should in future see both the com mercial and the agricultural classes uniting for the common good of the country.—(Cheers.) The election of Mr. Browh would, lie was sure, assist in promoting that desirable object, and he had therefore great pleasure in seconding his nomina tion.—(Cheers.) No other candidate having been proposed, The mast Siienier declared William Brown, Esq., duly elected a knight of the shire, to represent the southern divi sion of the county of Lancashire. W. BROWN, Esq., 111. P , then came forward, and was greeted with three-times-three. He said—Gentlemen, no one can feel more sensible than I do of the honour which was conferred on me, by sending me a requisition to be a candidate to represent in Parliament one of the most influ ential, one of the most enlightened, and one of the most numerous constituencies in the kingdom.—(Cheers.) That requisition, being more numerously signed than probably any document of the kind that was ever presented to any candidate before, at once claimed from me that attention and respect to which it was entitled; and it has also secured to you the victory of this day.—(Cheers.) My too partial friends hive said a great deal in my behalf, and though I am quite aware that a more able exponent ofyour opinions might have been selected, yet I assure you that one mere anxious to perform his duty than I shall be could not have been : chosen—(Cheers)—and, supported bysuebe Jilr me nr e gn e ,TC: whose opinions and views must our representative the destiny, of the nation, heirrwm-seeme y may be, your voice must be heard in the omnions House of Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I most sincerely congratulate you upon the revocation of the corn-laws, and upon the conversion of the leading statesmen of the late two great. political parties of this country to the advantages of commercial freedom.—(Cheeri) Therhave knocked the key-stone from the arch. of-monopoly, and the rotten fabric must soon crumble into dust.—(Cheers.) But, gen tlemen, we must not forget how deeply we are indebted to our distinguished friends, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Villiers, Mr. Bright, Mr. Wilson, and that galaxy of bright names who constituted the early members of the League.—(Loud cheers.) Their services are not to be measured by our voices, how ever far our voices may extend. They have, through good report and through bad report, pursued the even tenor of their way, till they have achieved for their country one of the greatest moral victories that ever was accomplished — that mighty and powerful movement which is more impor tant to England, and to the world at large, than any event recorded in the pages of our history.—(Loud cheers.) In me, gentlemen, I trust you will find a faithful watchman, who will guard with jealous care, as far as his.abiiity goes, the ripening fruit which in due season we may have at our disposal, arising from the good seed which the League has sown.—(Loud cheers.) That fruit we must not expect too soon, or we shall be disappointed; but in due season rest as sured We shall reap the rich harvest of free trade.—(Loud cheers.) Those gentlemen even who still unfortunately differ from us in opinion, are, I think, more alarmed than hurt, and I would recal to them that their panic was as great when grain was admitted free of duty from Ireland, and when live stock was admitted at a greatly reduced rate of duty from the Continent. They prophecied that their es tates would be ruined, and their rents destroyed ; but what has been the consequence? Why, land is as much in demand as ever, and I have not heard that the rent-rolls of the aristocracy have been lowered.--(Loud cheers.) Let those gentlemen look at the value of com mercial freedom. Let them look at Cadiz, Venice, and Augsburg, once the seats of commercial industry. Let them look at the state of those countries now, and at the pro perty in their immediate neighbourhood. I will venture to say that property near Augsburg is not worth one-tenth of what it was when that country was the great emporium of goods from the East.—(Cheers.) Commerce, gentlemen, is the sheet-anchor of the nation—it gives us prosperity, happi ness, and contentment at home—it promotes peace, good will, and fellowship—it extends civilisation and Christianity wherever it goes—it unites us in the bonds of friendship with every nation of the world, whilst it also sustains the value of landed estates and the rent-rolls of their possessors,— (Loud cheers.) It is, therefore, our duty, individually and collectively, landlord, manufacturer, and merchant, to cherish it by every means In our power, and the secret of cherishing it is to let it alone.—(Loud and prolonged cheers.) There are other subjects to which, standing as I now do in the proud position of your representative, you will perhaps ex pect that I should allude. The sugar question, for instance. (Ohm) Mai Otititot IMiii Uhl tint 14 • Parliament, pratatdy to Ste sttltatiat• aftl cute that lam oppose d to escsaaive dittatemia4 anti prohibitory duties of every hied iebetaeovee= qiift hear, and cheers.l s ugar at .one period, a - ikr Lord Brougham m Ic-t" - 4,eoriier annum to the revenue. The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought in his wisdom that he could increase the finances of the country by raising a further differential duty. ite expected a great increase to the revenue; but the fact is, that the consumption of sugar was so materially abridged, that instead of being increased, the revenue from that article fell Toff to 2,53 0,000/.—(Cheers.) There are many other articles, equall3- the subject of excessive duties, which pre. vent their due enjoymeqt by the multitude. I am quite aware that the revenue cannot do without a duty upon many articles, more especially articles of luxury; the rule should be to combine the maximum of revenue with the mi nimum of cost to the consumer.—(Cheers.) Ireland !s the next subject to which I ought to allude. Ireland has fleets experimented upon for the last two hundred years by admi nistrations of various political sentiments; but I fear thi.it little has been done to make her's a happy and contenta; people.--(Hear.) I am most desirous for the Irish people to see that we think them no longer a conquered nation.—that we give them equal rights and privile g es with ourselves-- that we forget use are separated by the Irish Channel, and that we treat them with the same kindness as the inha bitants of Yorkshire treat the inhabitants of Lancashire.— (Cheers.) The education of the people also is a very im portant consideration, and one which I should be ex tremely glad to see the Government pay more regarl to than Governments • have hitherto done, and to do it in such a way as not to interfere with the religious feel ings and 'views of any particular sect.—(Cheers.) To be useful it must be general, and whatever our religious creeds may be, it is most important that we should have a moral community.—( Loud cheers.) The poor-laws also afford a subject worthy of deep consideration. I fear that the poor of this country, far from decreasing, are on the increase, and if any atnendment of the poor-laws should he brought before the House of Commons, so far as I arts able, and as one voice goes, I shall endeavour to prevent you being plun dered by worthless pretenders, but at the same time to relieve to the utmost infancy, old age, and real cases of distress.—(Hear, hear.) The sanitary condition of the country is another object requiring the attention of the Government. In many towns the masses of the working population, the industrious bees of the community, occupy _ cellars much less comfortable than the mud huts in Ireland, of which we hear so much.—(Hear, hear.) There is a great want of water in many of our towns, and Government must give large powers to parties to introduce a plentiful supply of water, in order to keep the cottages and the persons of their inhabitants clean, for without cleanliness there cap 1 :,.. no self-respect amongst; our latonringpoptlAstion,'.-I( I n • conen,Ann , r - tifirj.#o4kiltle)iken, that I generally to all class interesti.—(Cheers.) no idea of one class of the community being compelled to pay for the comforts cf another; that we must endeavour to correct. We possess local and acquired advantages which no other country in the world probably possesses, and if we make a prudent use of them no doubt England will continue to main tain that high position which she now occupies among the nations of the earth,—(Cheers.) It will greatly depend upon the wisdom of your representatives, whether we are to con ' tinue to enjoy that pre-eminence or not; certainly, as far as the influence of the humble individual who addresses you goes, I shall endeavOur, by nnfettering industry, by promot • ing the morals of the people, by improving their education, and by aiding to repeal and amend such laws as require re pealing or ameudment, to maintain our country in that glorious position which she now occupies.—(Cheers.) You are quite aware, gentlemen, that I possess no oratcrical powers ; I shall not trouble you, therefore, with any further observations upon the present occasion, excepting to repeat ' that I cannot find words in which to express to you the gratitude and pleasure that I feel at your having entrusted me with your confidence—a confidence, allow me to say, which I shall be extremely proud of being able to deserve and to possess.—(Loud cheers.) The Hon. Member having concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff; resumed his seat amidst considerable applause. Some person in the crowd inquired whether Mr. Brown would support the Ten Hours Bill? Mr. Baowx—l have heard an anecdote of a Member of Parliament who went into a small public-house at Salford to ask for the vote of the landlord. He found a girl stand ing by the counter, and she asked him what he wanted. He said he had come to ask her father for his vote. She then bawled out to her father up stairs, " Father, here's a Parliament man come, and wants your vote." " Tell him," responded the father, " to write his name on the counter with a piece of chalk, and I'll inquire into his character."—. ' (Cheers and great laughter.) Now, gentlemen, I believe you all know my character towards the poor--(Cheers)— and if I thought that a Ten Hours' Bill would tend to the. good or the advantage of the working classes, I assure you I would support it; but you send me to a deliberative as sembly, and by the arguments which I hear there I shall be guided, as I am bound to be.—(Loud cheers.) The questioner did not think. that Mr. Brown had fairly 'met the question. Mr. BROWN—But I think I have met it very fairly.— (Cheers.) Perhaps I can give you some information that you are not aware of. In the United States they work 78 hour's a week. In France, from 72 to 74. In Austria, from 72 to 80. In Saxony from 72 to 80. In England 69 hours a-week-16 per cent. less than in any country on the con tinent.—(Loud cheers.) No other questions being proposed, three cheers were given for the new Member, three for the League, and three for the Queen, when the court was declared to be dissolved. POOR MAN'S GUARDIAN SOCIETY. A public meeting of the friends of this society was held last night in the Temperance Hall, Waterloo road, in compliance with the requisition of 200 householders of the borough of Lambeth. Mr. B. CABUELL having taken the chair, said he had been requested by several to take the chair, and state to the meet ntary societies the ing the ot tg o i b mi ing the object of the society. Distinguished, he said, as the c it ou ,l n ,a t s r)-was strange fo r tll:a o a t l the poor, and et' the funds collected for their benefit, was con ducted in a way by no means creditable to any Government, and that no institution had risen to protect them. The Poor and as sately as possieie, that the "A as lan's spe S t o d c ii i 3 e . ty wants of the poor may be attended to immediately. He needed not to dilate on this subject before the meeting. Poverty, which was no crime, was yet treated in this coun try with an obloquy which seemed to insinuate something immoral in the want of the means of support. He referred to a case which had occurred, by way of illustrating the working of this society. The case, he said, was that of a poor girl, destitute and neglected, who had applied to the Marlborough workhouse in vain. Application was made on her behalf to the Lord Mayor. Ile referred the applicant to the City Guardians. The City Guardians, on being applied to, said they had made their r e p or t t o the Lord Mayor • and the answer from his Lordship was, th a t t h e report had'been received. Application was made to the Poor-law:Commis sioners. The report which was received from them, drawn up by the Guardians of the City of London work house, the Chairman characterised as most disgrace.. ful and unwarranted. He read a paragraph from that report which characterised the majority of those who applied at Marlborough workhouse as " lawless vaga bonds" and " prostitutes." The chairman commented with the deepest indignation on the terms of this sweeping clause. He thought it was to be regretted that men connected with the Government were so insensible to the claims of the poor. The Rev. Mr. BARBEE, after adverting to the good treat ment of the poor in the parish of Lambeth, and to the ne-- cessity at the same time of such society, even in Lambeth, to protect those incidental cases where injustice was often done to the helpless, moved this first resolution. " That, in consequence of the recent exposure of various acts of cruelty and injustice to the helpless poor, this meet. ing is of opinion that every possible assistance should be given to the obtaining redress in all proved cases of such nature, it being, as this meeting believes, very difficult for the poor to succeed in doing so, unless by such aid as is af forded by the Poor Man's Guardian Society." Mr. COCHRANE in seconding the resoluti on , re f erre d to the r eport from the district asylums in which it was stated that there were 50,000 in the metropolis who daily rose from their beds not knowing where to get their first meal. From this he appealed against the Poor Law Guardians c* London, that they ought not t o h ave summarily con demned the poor as they had done. The same report stated that they relieved 18,000 during the winter months, and it gave their trades, designating them indus trious and willing to work if the opportunity had occurred. He thought, then, considering the frightful amount of suf fering, the poor, instead of meriting their condemnation, deserved their sympathy and their aid. His statements would be found borne out by the police reports of the daily papers.. It was but the other day that he read of a man, verging on seventy years of age, having been put in prison for refusing to work at the pump, the labour being too heavy for him. Another case was that of a poor girl, destitute and starving in the street, who was taken up by the police. She was ordered to be taken to St. Luke's workhouse, and the ma gistrate gave her an order for admissi on . Th e policeman accompanied the girl to the house, forcibly tagain. urned his back when she was It was but e theother ect of union relief, ha re. Yturned out Wakley, on some being inquiry h . diet (the hrane believed) of the said Brom could prola i rk ent, which allowed the poor man four ounces macocwi ti,t day that M o r. ;Vmeat, not per day, but per week. He (Mr. Cochrane) said the society had given its assistance at the inquiry into the Andover Union case. James White, when brought up to give his evidence before that Committee, was so emaciated as to excite a shudder in the members who beheld him. Ile said he had five or six children, and received only 7s. a week, and that bread, hot water, and a pinch o f salt sprinkled over it, was his diet from one end of the week to the other. Mr. Cochrane then alluded to those cases which have already appeared in The Sun, and stated that the case of Mary Smith had been postponed till the following sessions. These cases showed the necessity of such a society as the Poor Man's Guardian Society. He said it was an evil connected with the appointment of the guardians, that it was altogether in the hands of the householders. notwithstanding that the poo r in many cases paid more to the parish rates than those who had the vote. There was a strong obligation then on pri vate gentlemen to come forward and protect the poor under this grinding oppression. He concluded with seconding the resolution. Mr. SKELTON, a workman, was afraid that the society might miss the best means of effecting their object. He was understood to advise the society not to expend their money in particularising cases of cruelty, but in pointing out these men who had been denounced by the magistrates, and with drawing them from the labour-market, and in pointing out the willing and the industrious who seek the opportunity to labour. In short, he advised them to provide labour with their money. Dr. M'DowALL addressed the meeting at considerable length. He was glad to see the middle class men come for ward to help the poor, and he promised the society that the working men of Lancashire and of Yorkshire, at least, would go with them to a man, and create a grander movement, a greater agitation than ever existed on any question. The following resolutions were then moved, and carried unanimously : " That this meeting is of opinion that the principles and objects of the Poor Man's Guardian Society are fully entitled to the support and co-operation of the public." " That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Press, for its able advocacy of the rights of the poor." "That the thanks of this meeting be given to Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., for his able and impartial conduct in the chair." The meeting then adjourned. PULMONARY CONSUMPTION.—We are gratified to bear that Dr. Cronin, of Leicester-place, already favourably known to the profession and the public for his successful mode of curing consumption by " Anaspasia," has been for some time engaged in at tempting to promote the absorption of pulmo nary tubercle by means of electro-magnetism, and, we fin derstand, has completely succeeded in effecting their remora. from the lungs. Consumption, is the " plague spot of ou variable clime," and is acknowledged by every medical writer to arise from the deposit of tubercle. The removal of tubercle in its early stage is, therefore, of the utmost import ance, and hence the value of the new agent introduced by Dr. Cronin, which, by producing absorption of the tuber culous deposit, prevents the formation of tuberculo-pidwonari abscess and its consequences—consumption.—G/- i~~ ~., ~.a-,,,,. ~~:: Es. 1111 '
