THERMoNETEIt, Lowest, 42 ; Highest, 53 ; Noon, 47 , BAROMETER, 30 . 07. —WIND W., fine. personal property of the country goes into the public Treasury. From this grievous tax the Peers and more wealthy landowners are generally exempted. They rarely have much personal property, and their entailed estates pay nothing. The amount thus itn properly diverted from the Treasury is enormous. Take' for example, the landed property or one of the Cabinet Ministers. and see what he and his family would have paid to the public revenue had Peers been treated like hard working tradesmen. Suppose the estate has changed hands twice within the last thirty years, and that it is worth 7,000,0001.—a very moderate calculation. Even descending from father to son, the legacy duty would amount to 150,0001., and had it descended to distant relations, the sum would have been one million and a half sterling. But property changes hands by descent or will much oftener than twice in thirty years, and this circumstance, con sequently, would make a vast difference in the calcula , tion. The family, during that period, has succeeded to two other estates—one of which would hare been classed in that clause of the Legacy Duty Act by which ten per cent, is charged, and the other five per cent. Each of these estates is large, and perhaps, taken together, they may give a rental of somewhat less than 80,0001., some say 100,0001, but we rather state the case hypothetically, and leave our readers to reckon the amount which the family has thus saved by one exemption alone. They will find that, according to the average of human life, a family pob sessing so much landed property must save an enor mous sum in thirty years by this unfair immunity. When the burdens on land are taken into account, facts like these cannot be kept out of view. -fluti WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE. THIS LAY. M ,rning • 34 minutes after 4. I Evening ss 57 minutes after 4. Immethodical and formless as the opposition of the Protectionists appeared to be on the first blush of their discomfiture by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S secession from their principles, the necessity and peril of their position has driven their plans to a most precocious development. This single fortnight between the mere exposition and the veritable discussion of their downfal has imbued them with such a wonderfully vivifying impulse, as to force their schemes of antagonism to a premature growth. What originally appeared to be a vague and un systematic antipathy to the Ministerial statement, has :sow budded forth into some kind of shape, however much void of symmetry : the rage of the landowners, previously a creature of chaotic bitterness, has " taken limbs unto itself"—but those limbs are sinewless, and thewless, and utterly destitute of moral force. All the earnestness of will is there, but without the power of action : the Archimedean standing-place is there, but without the leverage wherewith to move the political fabric. In the Upper and the Lower House, in the agricultural districts, and in the metropolis, the great mouthpieces of monopoly are breathing vengeance against Sir ROBERT PEEL for what some designate his cowardice, and others his chicanery, and others his pro fligate inconsistency. Nut only is Stamford in all the effervescence of chagrin, and not only do " the powers that form" in the vicinity of that borough growl with something between malice and disappointment against their representative, Sir GEORGE CLERK, but similar sentiments, though of extra acidity, boil up in the bosoms of the protectionists in Oakham. A still more marvellous fury is goading sundry of the inhabitants of Newark to expressions of the bitterest discontent : and in divers other quarters—in nooks and corners as obscure and remote as Welchpool—the first feelings of prostration are gradually sub siding, and in lieu of them feelings of the most acrid, and at the same time of the most impotent rage, are gurgling in the hearts and bubbling through the lips of a vanquished but braggatt class. Through the medium of oratory the flames of agricultural agitation are evidencing them selves, and are crackling somewhat lustily, though unhappily for no recognisable purpose whatever. Yet, so repeatedly have the same materials been consumed over and over again in Precisely the same manner—so charred, and blackened, and tinder-like had they bee ,me through constant use, that the fire of opposition would either smoulder away to insignificance, or be at length irretrievably extinguished, but for the interposition of aome powerful political bellows. That bellows is his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND, who, in his capacity of President of the Central Agricultural Society, was yes terday instrumental in breathing something more vivi fying than usual into the principles of which he is so uncompromising an advocate, in the shape of some very valiant resolutions and very hopeless recommendations. The first resolution declares the Society's " alarm at the proposed measures for establishing free importation ;'! while the second utters its firm opinion that such mea sures would excite a revolution so terrible as "to in vo!ve not only the agricultural but the other productive classes of this country in certain ruin." It would, we c.uijeeture, require some great metaphysical ingenuity to ferret out the argument, the influence, the- applica tion, or the utility of these two vastly important and amazingly logical decla'ations. Tl;e d. duction eon mined in the latter is so miserably non-apparent ; the announcen ents are so manifestly founded upon as sumptions ; and the whole originates so clearly and ostensibly in the dark arid murky principles of se lf interest and self-aggrandisement, that it withers away in its proportions, until it becomes in the estimate of every sensible thinker something very little short of nothingness. The subsequent recommendation, Low ever, is equally shallow and equally preposterous ; it is addressed to the country in general and the local Pro tection Societies in particular, advising them severally and collectively— " That they do immediately form committees, of not more than twelve gentlemen, to wait upon the Members in their several districts, who were elected on protective principles, and press them either to reject the proposal of Sir Robert Peel, or at once to resign their seats, and appeal to their different constituencies for a sanction of the change in their political opinions." Hitherto we have laboured under the impression that an English constituency was capable of conducting its own affairs, and scrutinising the conduct of its own re presentative, and duly estimating its own cons:steney, without the interference of any extraneous or infinites sitnal force; but, thanks to the Duke of RICHMOND and his adherents, our erroneous notion is diTell.d; we clearly perceive, according to their mode of drawing infeiences, that the case stands quite otherwiEe, that hot is cold, and that white is black. All Hun. Members may, therefore, now expect some twelve d.L:y s of delightful dunning, and pestering, and importunity; besides the additional pleasure of arguing with men as capable of comprebendieg a self evident proposi tion as of seeing commerce conducted with scales of an equal balance. Assuredly the character of opposition adopted by these lovers of exclusive protec tion is proportioned to the littleness of their policy. Like the Abyssinians mentioned by BRUCE, they would cut their dinner from the living flesh of the animal they rode—they would satiate their appetite for emolu ment from the life-blood of their count ymen—they would extract wealth for themselves from the property of the country. The accounts from Madrid of the 22d inst. are of a , unsatisfactory character. The proposed marriage of the QUEEN with the Count DE TRAPANI is exciting great op position, and will either break up the Ministry or lead to the dissolution of the Cortes. Scarcely any party in the country seems to approve of it ; the chief supporters of the measure being Queen CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ,WhO are encouraged in thei. scheme by the Ceurt of France. We learn from some of the journals that the Deputies who had resolved to protest against the marriage re mained firm in their purpose, and that several of them are generally supporters of the Government. The Tiotspo states that the text of the resolutions is nearly as follows :—" The undersigned Deputies, strongly con vincea that the marriage of her MAJESTY with the Count DE TRAPANI would be fatal to the country, to its institutions, and to the consolidation of the monarchy, pledge themselves to appoint a Committee from their own body to confer with the Ministers, and demand from them a formal promise that they will not consent to such a marriage." The 7 iempo adds that more than fifty Deputies have already signed this resolution. It would appear, therefore, that there is little chance of obtaining the approbation of the Chamber of Deputies for such a marriage, as the Progressist party would have only to add their votes to those of the dissidents of the Ministerial party to defeat the project. The Universal state;, that so far from there having been shown any disposition on the part of some of the Deputies who had resolved to protest against the mar • risge with the Count DE TRAPANI to retract, they had all remained firm, and their number was being hourly increased. The Ministers held a Council, at which they are reported to have resolved that they would reject the message which it was proposed to send to them, to re fuse any information on the subject of the marriage, to dismiss all public functionaries who should take part in the manifestation, anl to dissolve the Cortes if the majority should persist in the course that was pur rued. That journal adds :—" Most animated discus sions have taken place in the Council of Misters re lative to the message and the Trapani pretensions. It is not doubtful that the discord existing between the Ministers will end in a modification of the Cabinet. We are in a complete Ministerial crisis, and may Heaven prevent its results being detrimental to the country and the throne! The Deputies who have signed the message are more than ever determined to persevere in their project, and the difference of opinion that separate the Opposition and the Majority him vanished before the immense importance of an affair which concerns all parties and all society." The affair altogether forbodes some serious movement, but no mention of it has yet been made in the Cortes. The Phare de Bayonne of the 25th says I—" At the moment when we Were going to press we received a letter from in ' i n f o rming us that the Spani s h Cort e s have b ee n dissolved. ru Although our correspondence gives us this news as positive, we do not publish it as entirely authentic." The Funds were greatly depressed on the 22d, in consequence of the alarming state of public feeling. The Three per Cents. closed at 3 it cash, and 32i at 60 da3s; the Fire per Cents. at 23 at 60 days. The discussions in the French Chamber of Deputies, which are likely to b prolonged yet for several days, are generally without interest, and will probably con tinue till M. BERRYER brings on his amendment respect ing the liberty of the seas. It was said that Ministers would meet the amendment by a motion which would give a triumph to neither party, but an interesting de bate, however, was reckoned certain, and M. GUIZOT would have to contend with all the Republicans, Libe rals, and Legitimatists. These parties might be better employed at present in devising some scheme fur the relief of the army in Africa, and restoring disas ters which have cast a gloom over France, than in wasting time and throwing away • oppor tunities by long speeches on contingent events. Every packet from Algiers only brings additional ac coun►s of misfortunes. In fact, the army seems to be disorganised, one-half of the horses lost, and the Go vernor-General totally bewildered by the numerous difficulties in which he is involved. Letters from SP tif, in narrating the calamities which befel the division of General LEVASSEUR, are unani mous in attributing them to the disorder which reigned in the corps d'arntee. "It must be de clared," says one of them, " that if the column had remained organised very few men would have been lost. Three thousand men, united by discipline, ought by mutual aid to surmount all the difficulties of a march, which, after all, was only ten leagues. The snow and cold were certainly the incidental cause of the disaster, but the determining cause is the disorder which, in the absence of the commander of the column, reigned in the ranks." The Constitutionnel says :—" Accounts from Tenet to the 15th were received at Oran on the 18th. Marshal BUGEAUD, on his return from his expedition from the Ouarensenis, was in that town, and his column, cantoned in the neighbourhood, was in a state of great demoralisation. The men were harasied with fatigue, and the horses could scarcely stand. The greater part of the saddlery had fallen into the power of the Arabs, who will not fail to make a trophy of them." The following deplorable aceount, in which probably there is too much truth, appears in the Courrier Francais: " We learn that the Governor-General of Algeria, who was on the 11th in the environs of Tiaret, returned on the 14th to Tenez. What were the motives for this precipitate retreat ? Was it the want of provisions that prevented the Marshal from maintaining his ground at Tiaret ? or was it the fatigue and disorganization of his column that forced him to go into cantonment at Tenez ? It is unfortunate, but too true, that the column left strewed on the way behind it stores which it was no longer able to draw along with it, and the harness of the horses which expired on the roads, and which the Arabs will collect as trophies. Mast assuredly the Marshal too much abused the only good quality he pos sesses, that corporal hardihood which enables him to sustain fatigues, deprivations, and dangers. He drags along his soldiers, without regarding i heir exhaustion from the incessant marches he compels them to make, with out end and without object. M. Bugeaud, no doubt, con siders as a wonderful activity this restless and blind mobility, which induces him to be at every moment changing place for the mere pleasure of changing. lie calls General Reclean into the Ouarensenis, presuming that Abd-el-Kader is there. In the meantime the Hainza remains unprotected, the Hodna rises in insurrection, and General Levasseur, to occupy the interim, goes and buries his supple mentary regiments in the ravines of Djt bel Djira, in which is also involved the column of General d'Arbouville, of whom we are still without any news. Now M. Bugeaud retire to Tenez to cover himself, no doubt, from the rigours of winter; he drives General Korte to the bottom of the province of Oran, into the Yacoubia, where he fancies Abd-el-Kader may appear some day cr other. He sends Generel Lamoriciere among the Flittas, in search of the Emir, being himself unable to find him. He has him tracked by his troops through the closest recesses of Algeria, and yet the Emir, who is everywhere seen is nowhere to be found. At a vast cost, he prepares an expedition to be ready in the spring to make a move from Djemma Ghazaouat into Morocco to attack Abd-el-Kader, who establishes his government more strongly than ever in the very centre of our possessions. After all these various displays of fbrces, after all these grand movements of trf ops, are we yet on the heels of this evanescent enemy ? Not at all ! Some say he is in the country of the Flittas ; others, that he is more to the south, at the extremity of the Chot el Chergui c'istrict ; others, again, that he is in the east, towards Gond jilla ; while M. Bugeaud seems to believe that he is to be found in the Yacoubia, quite to the west, while the Marshal himself hopes to find him in the circle of Tenez, in the northern centre. Therefore it is in this wild imaginary pursuit that our soldiers have been engaged for ten long months, leaving frogmen's of their flesh torn off by the pointed rocks, and on the thorny bushes of the plain. Because it is the plea sure of M. Bugeaud, are our soldiers to confront the snow as well as the sand storms ? to endure the piercing gales of the winter as well as the seffucating simoons of the summer ia this absurd chase, followed at hazard without glory, with out profit ? The razzias have destroyed all the means of sub sistence, the hospitals are overcrowded with the sick, whole battalions have sunk under cold and fatigue, even the horses have fallen down and died on the road from fatigue, all the equipments have been worn out or lost, all the stores have been exhausted. i3ut Marshal Bugeaod, confiding in the strength of his own constitution, runs first one way, then another, not knowing where to stop nor precisely what direc tion to take. If the Government should still refuse to call upon him to account for the legions entrusted to him, the mothers who have thus seen their children perish without glory for themselves, without benefit for France, these mothers will cry aloud for vengeance upon this Varus, who thus is sacrificing a whole army to his own headstrong folly ! Is this all ? Alas! no. Within three month, 12,000 colonists have been sent over to Algeria, the Government encouraging their emi gration, and granting large parcels of land to them to be cul tivated. And what has followed ? M. Bugeaud, braving the will of the Government, refuses to put thegrantees in possession of their lands, and the poor colonists are prevented from farming on their own account, or l a b our i ng f or hi re f or ot h ers, as no lands are assigned to any of them. Waiting the good pleasure of the Governor-General, these too confiding colo nists are driven to mendicity to satisfy the wants of nature. They are seen in bands in the streets imploring charity, and often in vain, or perhaps yielding to the worst suggestions of misery. Before the credits for Algeria are voted, most of these wretched beings, deprived of employment, and devoid of all other resources, in the very heart of winter, under a climate which decimates them, will have returned to Europe. Thus M. Bugeaud, if due care be not taken, will have at once compromised, and perhaps irre me diably, both our con quest and our colonisation. This is not a question of party opposition, and rather than accuse the Mi n i s t r y o f a ll t hese disasters, we prefer conjuring them to repair them, if there be yet time !" A letter front Rome states, that on the 17th the congrega tion of Igaacious Loyola inaugurated in its church, at Rome, a Triduum for the conversion of the people of England to Catholicism, on which occasion the church was filled from morning till night. A great rise has taken place in the French Funds, attri buted to large purchases of stock for the account of certain railway Companies. It was said that the Directors of the Lyons Company have come to the determination to invest 24,000,000 f. in the French Funds, half in the Three per Cents. and half in the Five per Cents., and are now engaged in car rying out this operation.

A requisition from the electors of Buck ingham, calling upon him to resign his seat, has been presented to the Right Hon.

Mr. Dean has been prevailed upon to resign the chairmanship of the Board of Customs, and Sir Thomas Fremantle is ap pointed his successor. Lord Redesd ile has given up the post which he has so long filled, of whipper-in for the Government in the House of Lords, in consequence of the new measure, It will be observed that Lord Ashley, in his speech of Thursday night, hinted at the possibility of his not having another opportunity of addressing the House of Commons. It is said that the Noble Lord intends, after voting for Sir Robert Peel's measure, to resign his seat and appeal to his constituents for re election. There is a rumour that Lord John Manners intends to take the same course. Mr. Laseelles and Lord Courtenny are mentioned us probable successors to Sir Thomas Fremantle, in the office of Secretary for Ireland.

SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 31, 1846. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was rather a heavy market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, and prices were nearly 1 / §d. per lb. lower. The sales were 5,000 to 6,000 bales, kcluding 1,100 Pernam and Maranharn, at 5 3 / 4 d. to 6d.; 400 Egyptian at 5 1 / 2 d. to 5 3 /d.; 500 &lilt at 2Ad: to 3 1 ;40.; and 4,000 American at 3 3 / 4 d. to sd. per lb.

Consols have been 94% 36 for Money, and 95 to IA for Account. Now the former are marked 94%, and the latter 947. Bank Stock has been quoted 206, and India Stock 255 to 257. The New Three-and-a.

We would beg to draw the particular attention of our readers to a letter from Mr. COBDEN to the tenant farmers of England, which appears in another column. As the record of the deliberate opinion of "ors who has sprung from their own ranks," it is entitled to their most mature consideration. As the opinion of the first political economist of the day, it is entitled to the at tentive consideration of ail philosophical (as contra-distinguished from party) politicians, and as the opinion of one of thcon political philosophers who, cording to the a'hnission of Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, was three years ago right, when be, the Prime Minister of the country, was wrong, more especially is it entitled to the consideration of the Minister, who, by his own showing, is three years behind Mr. COBDEN. Out of consideration to the tenant farmers themselves, he advocates an immediate, in preference to a gradual, repeal of the corn-laws, and argues that the present mo ment, when there is a scarcity over the whole continent of Europe, is the time of all others when the corn-laws can be repealed without even temporary inconvenience to the British farmer. "I ;" says Mr. COBDEN, "you should be induced to concur in its views, you will avoid the only danger to which, in my opinion, the farmers were ever exposed from the repeal of the corn-law— that of the transition state. From the first I have always entertained and expressed the conviction that free trade, far from permanently injuring the farmers, would ultimately tend to their prosperity and independ ence. I never disguised from myself, however, the temporary evils to which they might be exposed in the change. But let us unite in seizing the present opportu nity, and the triumph of sound principles may be achieved without the bitter ingredients of one particle of injury to any class or individual. From the most exalted personage in the realm down to the humblest peasant, all may witness, with unalloyed pleasure, one of the greatest victories ever achieved ever past preju dice and ignorance, whilst each class may derive pecu liar gratification at the close of our long domestic struggle. The SOVEREIGN may gkry that her reign was reserved for the era of a commercial reforma tion, more pregnant in its beneficial consequences to the destinies of mankind than all the wars of her illustrious ancestors ; the landed aristocracy viii see in the con summation of our labours, an opening for the resumption of their social influence based upon the only sure foun dation—the respect and confidence of the people ; to the middle and industrious classes will be presented a constantly widening field for the employment of their peaceful energies, together with greater means and more leisure for that moral amelioration which, I trust, will accompany their improved physical condition." The aristocracy, tinder almost every form of govern ment, and in all ages, have claimed for their order pecia• iar privileges, honours, as well as exemptions from taxes and duties imposed upon the rest of the cemmunity. The only exceptions, perhaps, have been in republic-, and these for a limited period. When the ruling, the wealthy, end what may be called the official party, became strong and brought the plebeians under their power, they, agreeably to the propensities of human nature, began to ake care of themselves, to throw all the heavy burdens upon the vulgar, and those who could not resist their authority, and to cover their selfish pur poses and unmerited privileges under the pretence that in some great emergency they had rescued the State from the brink of ruin, and that no honours or rewards could be too great for the saviours of their country. The ;barons of England claimed great merit in this respect, but all they did was to humble the Exec, and increase their own power, if we except some trifling advantages which they claimed for all classes, but which they rarely afterwards en forced. Self•interest was the prime mover—self interest regulated their future conduct ; they raised themselves to the rank of demi-gods, disdained to take oatha like other people, because their word of honour was stronger than the oath of plebeians ; they would be tried for flagrant crimes only by men of the same rank, who had an interest in screening a compeer:; declared their honours and their judicial and senatorial rights perpetual, and for one tax which they laid upon themselves they laid twenty on the rest of their fellow-subjects. In France these principles were carried to a still greater extent even than in England, solely because the middle classes were more depressed, and, consequently, less able to resist their unjust pretensions. Like madmen, the nobles thought the power of their order would last for ever; they had embarked with them in the same system of oppression all the high dignitaries of the Church, and in time the whole of the clergy. Religion and the sword ruled the destinies of the country, till, some sixty years ago, the people, indignant at such mockery of justice and abuse of the sacred truths of the Gospel, burst forth like a volcano, and swept the united race from the face of the country. What has been the result? During all the revolutions which France has undergone the crimes of the nobility and clergy have never been forgotten or forgiven; they have been re garded as outcasts, and even to the present day the stigma still adheres to both orders. The iron reign of NAPOLEON made an outward change : nobility was made hereditary, and the Church, to a certain extent, was raised from its low and deplorable condition; but when the hand of the despot was removed, and the influence of foreign powers which crushed the national voice, it again broke forth, and demanded that the Peers should enjcy no rights inconsistent with those of the people. The hereditary peerage was abolished, the KING was restricted even in the creation of temporary Peers, and all classes became alike sub ject to taxes. The great revolution led mainly to this result, but the second, called that of July, completed th e work. Would it not be prudent for the Peers of England to take a lesson from their neighbours and be wise in time ? Why should the possessors of land have any exclusive prieileges, and why should the great body of the people be enormously taxed for the benefit of one class?—for amid all the arguments of the monopo lists the main argument is, that the abolition of the corn laws will reduce their incomes. The fact has been inad sertently admitted by the most strenuousadvocates of the obnoxious impost, and all rational men know that the interests of the tenants and their labourers have no• thing to do with the question, that these classes are brought in as ignorant auxiliaries and that the rent-roll guides the whole movement. The discerning public cannot be deceived by such shallow pretences, and the Peers, for they are the prime instigators in the affair, will yet find that by persevering in their opposition they will only excite further investigations, and that the offers of the Duke of RICHMOND and Lord BEAUMONT will be accepted by Mr. COBDEN and Mr. HUME. The former has repeatedly attempted in vain to ascertain, by means of a Committee, the real amount of burdens on land. His request cannot now be denied with a good grace; and while the new tariff for corn con tinues in operation, there will be ample time to carry the inquiry into full effect. But an inquiry into the burdens alone will not do. The exemptions can not be omitted. There must be a balance-sheet, and the legacy duty alone will throw a vast weight into the scale against the landlord. That xenormousexcept and those unjust whoare universally reprobated by e exempted from its operations. It is calculated that, periodlo4oina nA not exceeding the span usually allotted to hum= life, the whole PRICES OF RAILWAY SHARES. Bristol and Exeter Buckinghamshire .. Caledonian Ditto New ..

The Chamber of Representatives continued the debate on the article of the Project of Law, relative to the chase (the game•laws). It adopted article 5, with the amendments proposed by the Government, and by three Members. Some questions were put to the Minister of Public Works, by Messrs. Delsosse and Delahaye, to know whether the Government was considering of means to present the di%asters which are: cecasioned by the an nual inundations of the Meuse, the Lys, arid the Schelde. The Minister answered in the affirmative. He declared that this important question was the subject of serious and profound investigation, which would shortly be completed, and the result embodied in a project of law. The Minister of Finance announced, in reply to a question of Mr. Osy, that the revisal of the law on sugars would be presented to the Chamber in a fort night. The sugar refiners of Antwerp have just addressed a petition to the Chamber of Representatives, in which they declare that they join in the desire of the refiners of Ghent, for the speedy revisal of :he existing law on sugar. Monsieur Odin, Bishop of Texas, is now at Ant werp. He is one of the oldest missionaries in America, where he has resided twenty-four years, and for the last ten in Texas. He is thoroughly acquainted with the States of the Union. The Bishop has come to Europe to engage priests for Texas, where the population is rapidly increasing. Twenty-seven are to embark with him at Havre. He has been to Rome, and had an audi ence of the Pope. HAMBURGH BORSENHALLE, JAN. 2A. Bills.

COBDEN TO THE TENANT FARMERS OF ENGLAND. TO THE FARMING TENANTRY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM Gentlemen,—The question for you now to determine is, shall the repeal of the corn-law be gradual or im mediate ? Deny it who may, this is the only question that deserves a moment's consideration at your hands. Public opinion has decreed that protection to both agri cu'ture and manufactures shall be abolished ; and minis ters and statesmen have at last reluctantly bowed to a power from which there is no appeal. Let no de signing or obtuse politicians delude you with the cry that the House of Lords, or a dissolution of Parliament, can prevent the repeal of the corn-law. All men of average sagacity are now agreed that free trade in corn and manufactures is inevitable. How, then, shall we ap ply this new principle ?—timidly and gradually, like children ; or boldly and at once, as' becomes men and Englishmen ? Upon this point, I wish to submit to your consideration a few remarks, which I believe to be of the utmost importance to your interests ; they are offered in good faith by one who has sprung from your own ranks, and who, although deemed by some to be your enemy, will, I hope, live to be regarded as a pro moter of the independence and prosperity of the farming tenantry of the kingdom. The Government measure proposes to abolish the corn law in February, 1849, putting on for the three interven ing years, a new scale of duties, sliding from 10s. to 4s. The moment this law is passed, the duty will drop from 15s. to 4s. Here will be change the first, fright the first, and with many, I fear, panic the first. But there will be no settlement. You will not be able to foretel whether the duty during the years 1847 and 1848 will be 4s. or 10s. It is quite probable that, in Febru ary, 1849, the duty will be 10s.; if so, on the Ist of that mouth, it will drop again suddenly, from 10s. to Is. Here will be change the second, fright the second, and, possibly, panic the second. The fall of duty in these two changes would have amounted to, first, from 15s. to 45.; heat, from 10s. to ls.; making, together, 205.; but, mark, if the duty were immediately reduced, from )ss. to ls., the fall would be only 14s. So that by this clumsy contrivance, you are not only to be kept for three years in a state of suspense and embarrassment, and exposed to double panics, but are liable to a drop of 20s. instead of 145., duty; you are actually subjected to die shock of the withdrawal of 6s. more of protection! But this is only a small part of the danger to which you will be exposed by the delay. From the moment that the new corn-law is passed foreigners and corn im• porters will begin to make preparations for the day of its extinction ; they dread a sliding-scale in any shape, owing to former lesses, and will keep their eyes steadily fixed upon the Ist of February, 1849. What a precious policy is this, which advertise for three years to all the landowners and speculators of the entire world, offering them a premium to hold back their supplies, and then to pour upon our markets, in one day : a quantity of corn which, but for this contriv ance, might have been spread over twelve or eighteen months ! And what may your fate be under these pro bable circumstances ? Supposing the crop of 1848 to be abundant in this country, you will be liable, in the spring of 1849, to the sudden and unnatural intiCK of the corn accumulated by foreigners for this market, which must be sold here, having no other market ; thus beating down prices artificially, to the loss of all parties, but more especially of the British farmer. How different would be the operations of an immedi ate repeal of the corn-law. There would then be no stock of foreign corn waiting fur the opening of our ports. Nobody expected last year in Poland or America that the English corn-law would be repealed—nobody prepared for it ; not a bushel of grain was raised upon the chance of such an unlooked-for contingency. Is there an intelligent farmer in the kingdom that will not at once exclaim, " If we are to have a repeal of the corn-law give us it this spring, when the f armer i s un prepared for it, and when not a single quarter of corn sown after the news reaches him can be brought to this market in less than eighteen months." But the present is, beyond all comparison, the most favourable moment ever known for abolishing the corn law. If ever it could be repealed without even tempo rary inconvenience to the farmer, this is the time. There is a scarcity at present over nearly all the conti nent. One half of Europe is competing for- the scanty surplus stock of grain in America. Millions of our countrymen are deprived of their ordinary sub sistence by the disease of the potato, and they must be sustained at the public ex pense upon a superior foo6. Do what we will, we cannot, during the present year, secure low prices. Abolish the corn-law to-morrow, and still wheat must rise during the spring and summer. If the farmers bad the power of ordering time and circumstances, they could not contrive a juncture more favourable to them than the present for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-law. Nay, I believe that if the corn-law could be abolished by a secret edt to-morrow, the farmers would never make the discol'ery of open ports by any injurious effect produced upon their interests. I cannot believe that Sir Robert Peel is favourable to the gradual repeal ; he supported it by no other argument in bis speech than the fear of pani c amongst the farmers ; but he has told us again and again, in proposing his former alterations in the tariff, that he believes all such changes are less in jurious, if suddenly made, than when spread over a series of years. I have the strongest conviction, derived from his own past changes in the tariff, that he is right. Why then should you, in deference to unfounded fears, be deprived of the benefits of ex perience ? If you speak out in favour of an immediate settlement, who will oppose your wishes ?—Not the Government : they are anxious, so far as putlie opi nion and the exigencies of the moment will allow, to conciliate your favour. Not the great landed proprie tors, whose interests and yours are in this respect iden tical, who desire also, on political grounds, to put a ' period to an agitation, the prolonged duration of which they believe to be injurious, and who would willingly take any step which shall at once consult your interests and dissolve the League. Let me entreat you to take this subject into your instant and earnest consideration. Do me the justice to believe that I have no other obj , ct in view in writing this lettei but to serve your interests. If you should bs induced to concur in its views, you will avoid the only danger to which, in my opinion, the farmers were ever exposed from the repeal of the corn-law—that of the transition state. From the firs.t I have always enter• tained and expressed the conviction that free trade, far from permanently injuring the farmers, would ultimately tend to their prosperity ;and inde pend,orce. I never diTuised from myself, however, the temporary evils to which they might be exposed in the change. But let us unite in seizing the present opportu nity, and the triumph of sound principles may be achieved without the bitter ingredient of one particle of injury to any class or individual From the most exalted personage in the realm down to the humblest peasant, ell may witness, with unalloyed pleasure, one of the greatest victories ever achieved over past prejudice and ignorance, whilst each class may derive pecu liar gratification at the close of our long domestic struggle. The Sovereign may glory that her re i gn was reserved for the era a a commercial reforma tion, more pregnant in its beneficial consequences to the destinies of mankind than all the wars of her illustrious ancestors ; the landed aristocracy will see ix the con- ~.. summation of our laKatrs, an opening for theresutort, of their social influence based upon the only itire f""' l l) 4 . ti , tion —the respect and confidence of the people ; ixd • the middle and industrious class es will be present",pir constantly widening field for the entrl.;yrnent 0 peaceful energies, together with greater means ill leisure for that moral ameliorat ion which, I trust , accompany their improved physical condition. 1 the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient COOservali g ~ RICHARD Pte London, 30th Jan., 1846.
