Esq., Author of " Tables on Anntutes," &c., King William-street, City. ACTUARY AND SECRETARY—WiIIiam Clark, Esti. Temporary Offices, No. 16, Lincoln's Inn-fields. It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan tages of Life Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated. This Company is formed for granting every description of Life Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of Assurance, and every other description of property. Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,0001. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum bered,, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its advance. The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably adjusted scale. . One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its benefits as nearl♦ as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With this v ew, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by parties on tho 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 consistently with 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 full parti cipation of the profits. The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value of the policy, on its security. In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the assared 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,ls influenced by the•belief that there are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease anti affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this m•uie 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 6/. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee will, during the continuance orall the lives, receive an annuity of 61. ; 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 1,000/. 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 funds 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.

(Provisionally Registered.) Capital 63,0001., in shares of 1/. is. each. Offices of the Company, No. 41, it oorgate-street. For some years before tile 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 interest. , !. Mit 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 tbr 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 peojectors 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 dis,layed in supporting that character—a power of expansion and development which, if duly supported by an amount of capital immediately available, must inevitably render the " Iron Times " the le •ding journal of the age • Founded on the basis of the " Iron Times" as a Railway News paper, the " Iron Times," as a General Newspaper, has a point d'appui to start trim, 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, wh , ch alone appears necessary to insure its increased usefulness as a public journal, and an increased 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 HO 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 11. Is. 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 taw 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 11. prem. per share; the remainder at such periods and at such prices as th•. Committee of Management shall de termine, and the augmented value 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 into legal effect, is now under the consideration of counsel. Application for shares, and all communicatio is respecting the un dertaking, are to be addressed to H. Edwards, the Secretary, at the office of the Company, 41, Moorgate-street, London. To the Committee of Management of the " Iron Times" News paper Company. Gentlemsn,—l request you will allot me Shares, or such less number as you shall determine, in the Capital Stock of the " Iron Times" Newspaper Company; and I hereby engage to pay the sum of One Pound One Shilling upon each Share that shall be appropriated to me, and to execute the Deed of settlement of the Company when required, it being distinctly understood that my liability is limited to 41 Is. per Share, and that under no circum stances I shall be called upon for any further or other stun. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant. r EN LECTURES ON THE CHRONO - THERMAL SYSTEM of MEDICINE. By Dr. DICKSON. Price 2s. 64. Lecture I.

A great deal of ex parte matter (says the Herald), has of late appeared in the public journals on'this subject; the ob ject of which is evidently to make it appear that Prince Albert, in resisting the claim of a rate as a right, has been actuated by a desire to save an inconsiderable suet of money; whereas, the f►ct is, that the law officers have formally ad vised his Royal Highness, that the property, belonging to the Crown, though managed in the Prince's name, is not legally liable, and that the prerogatives of the Crown were involved in the question ; the Prince, however, offered to pay the money required as a matter of courtesy and conside ration for the poor, but a majority of the parish vestry re fused the money except as a rightful rate, embracing, of course, a continuous rating. On Friday afternoon another vestry meeting was held on the subject, Mr. Mains, the Mayor and Vicar's warden, in the chair. There was a numerous attendance, and the pro ceedings were somewhat stormy, a party being present, led by Mr. Sharman, whose object appeared to be to place the Prince in an invidious light bef.re the public. A detail of the previous proceedings was given by the chairman, who read a memorial which had been presented to the Prince, and the answer iNreto by Mr. Anson, his Royal Ilighnosi's private secretary. This reply intimated (as above stated) the Prince's desire to do anything reason able by way of courtesy ; hut stating also that a case had been submitted to the law officers of the Crown, and that Sir F. Thesiger and Sir Thomas Wilde concurred in opinion that the Queen was the real occupier of the Flemish farm, and that therefore :he property was not liable to be rated, as claimed by the parish vestry. A good deal of speaking took place. Several gentlemen depreca•.ed proceedings calculated to offend and wound the feelings of her Majesty and the Prince; and Mr. Sharman, though no lawyer, quf stioned the correctness of the opinion of the law officers, moving .: resolution to the effect, that the Prince was in beneficial occupation, was therefore liable, and that the rate ought to be enforced. To this an amendment was moved by Mr. Ingalson in the terms following :—" That this vestry extremely regrets that the resolutions, in refer ence to the rating of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, passed at the vestry meeting held on the 18th of September last, should have been so carried, inasmuch as this meeting is now fully aware that his Royal Highness is not in any way liable to be rated for the Flemish farm ; and that this vestry deprecate the garbled-statements set forth in the public jour nals on the subject." On a show of hands, the Chairman decided that, in his opinion, the amendment was carried; this was disputed, and the names of all the rate-payers present, aye or no, were written down, when it was fund that the amendment was really carried by a majority of two. The question is there fore settled in a legal and parochial sense; but Mr. Sharman declared that he himself would ge to the expense of another opinion, and thus keep the affair alive. Finally, it was agreed to make a representation to the Prince, that the parish funds were in a low state; and there can be no doubt that his Royal Highness will cheerfully lend his aid, and do it in a liberal and princely spirit, so that his concession be understood as one of courtesy, and not of. right and compulsion. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Romeo and Julia, which has been acted every night on which the Misses Cushman have appeared, was repeated on Friday evening. The present version is from the text of Shakspere, and introduces us to Romeo as, in the first instance, the lover of Rosalind. Miss Susan Cushman is gradually acquiring confidence, and beautiful and powerful as was her Juliet on the evening of her first appearance, we must confer that we preferred her acting on Friday evening. There was more of unity about it. Miss Cushman's Romeo, we repeat, the only Romeo we have had on the English boards since the youthful days of Charles Kemble. The Bee and the Orange Floiver, that most tasteful of fairy burlesques, preserves its at tractions undiminished. and the house is crowded every night. EXETER HALL. Handel't oratorio of the Messiah was repeated here on Friday evening, Mrs. Sunderland, Miss M. B. Hawes, Mr. Hobbs. and Mr. 11. Phillips being the principal vocalists. Mrs. Sundt flaw] improves upon acquaintsnce, and when she has divested herself of her propensity to indulge in ornamental flourishes—a propensity in,w hich all provincial vocalists are more or less wont to indulge—she will prove an acquisition. Let her model her style on that of Miss M. B. Hawes, who understands sacred music perh..ps better than any lady singer in England. Hobbs was good, and Phillips was very fine. The choruses were magnificent. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE LIVERPOOL WATER WORKS. In consequence of the death of Anne Devaney, one of the unfortunate sufferers, through the bursting of the tank con nected with the Harrington Water-works, at Liverpool, a coroner's ;ury were again summoned to investigate the pain ful circumstances connected with the deplorable catastrophe, and an inquiry tor.k place before P. F. Curry, Esq.. on Tues day last. The following scientific gentlemen were in attend ance by request of the coroner :—Mr. S. Holme, Mr. Ken nedy, kr. M•Gregor, Mr. Franklin, Mr. King, and some others, whose names did not transpire. The CORONER, in addressing the jury, said that he had been induced to summon the full number of twenty-three, not for the purpose solely of inquiring into the cause of death of the deceased Anne Devaney, but from having heard observations made—remarks made—to say the least of them injudiciously, after a previous inquiry . of thirteen hours' duration, to sh ow that the facts gone into, and the verdict come to upon those facts were not satisfactory to the public. It was his duty, and their duty, to dismiss trom their minds everything but the facts which would be brought before them at the present inquest, and upon those facts to determine their verdict. The evidence, so far as it affected the cause of death, was then gone into, and the investigation adjourned till Thurs day, in order to give the scientific gentlemen who were to be examined as 'witnesses time to examine and make their re port as to the construction of the tank. The inquiry was resumed on Thursday morning, when the gentlemen already named were in attendance to give evi dence. A model of the tank, several plans, &c , were pro duced in court for the purpose of more clearly setting forth the circumstances in connexion with the bursting of the tank to the jury. Mr. John Grantham, in his evidence, said that he attri buted the accident to one of two causes—either one or more of the horizontal stays breaking off at tha nuts, or the bolts in the flanges breaking, leaving the side plates with out support. He considered there was no want of care in the construction of the tank, but there was a slight want of skill. Mr. Samuel Holme testified as to the careful construction of the foundation, which he considered would have borne 1,900 tons, being twice the weight it was intended to carry. He attributed the bursting to the wrenching of the bolts. He considered there had been a want of skill, or error in judgment in regard to the construction of the tank, but it was not in the quantity or quality of the'mate.rials. Mr. M'Gregor, Tlr. kennedy, and Mr. H. Pooly confirmed the testimony of Messrs. Grantham and Holme. Mr. Miller, solicitor for the Hawarden Company, called witnesses to prove that the catastrophe was not owing ill the insufficiency of the tank or its staying, but from a deficient foundation. Two builders, named Beaumont and Burns, gave evidence to that effect; as did a Mr. Rumpling, architect and sur veyor. After a charge from the CORONER, the jury retired, and consulted for about half an hour, when they returned bring ing in a verdict of manslaughter against Howell, the ma nager of the llarwarden Iron Works, and a deodand of 1007. on the tank. The CORONET: informed them that a deodand could not be levied for two reasons—first, because in a case of manslaugh ter no deodand was admissible; the second, that the tank was an appurtenant to the frechold. The foreman of the jury stated, that nineteen of the jury were unanimous in returning the verdict which they had brought in. The CORONER said that he took that opportunity of stating that he quite.agreed with the dissentients. WAKEFIELD' CORN MARKET, JAN. 9.—The supplit.s of all grain are large this week.

The Moretha privilege s are g i ven to the in the r egu l ar reg i ments o fn price of a substitute in the time of p e ace generally averages about 101 ; 'although during the war 601 . and even 80/. w as p n r o i t va a t n es u w n h u o su o a r l e c m h e a c rg ha e. oics the line, which makes the conscription less severely felt by industrious men serving in person or as substitutes. - PRESENTING A PISTOL AT A CLERGYMAN—James Myers, a man dressed as a railway labourer, was examined the person the sitting m at oi.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT WITH VITR'°L.--On Friday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a young man named Samuel Holmes, residing in Church-street, Padding ton, was lifting a large bottle of vitriol off a shelf, when the chair on which he was standing s lipped from under him and he. fell to the ground, the bottle breaking upon his head, and the burning liquid flowing over his face and person. So dreadful is the injury he has sustained, that no hopes are en tertained cf his recovering the sight of both eves. BUCKFASTLEIGIL—The woollen trade of this town remains exceedingly dull, numbers of workmen are out of employment, and in consequence of the high price of provi sions and the scarcicity of potatoes, numerous families are suffering the greatest privations.-- Western Titrtfs., THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE • IN LIVERPOOL. 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 seat, 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 Ratbbone, Mr. R. E. Harvey, Mr. Vin cent Higgins, Mr. John Finch, Mr. John Finch, jun., 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. H enry R om ill y , Mr. Charles Robertson, Mr. H. Jevons, and m an y ot h er o f the leading merchants f 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 for them with unflinching firmness and unabated zeal the great and gl..rions 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 ; an d th a t th e 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. BATHIIONE, 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 moat 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 o th ers , were stoned in Williamson-square, not many yards from that theatre, far protesting against the iniquitous and ferocious war with France. At that time, they would all remember, they had the life-and-prorerty 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 it.—(Great cheering.) L. HEYWORTH, 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 how 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 Ametica 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'lluffie's appeared th-y 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 outscommerce 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 aemit 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, and other agri cultural products, our own restrictive system would certainly be doomed to overthrow."—(Cheers.) It was plain, there fore, as he had eh eady 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 potation 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 ruse, 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 succeedee, 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, tire 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 I igh 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 commercial com munity, are you of opinion that there men are qualified by their intelligence or their sympathy with right and the people to rule ovor and to regulate the trade and vast mer cantile affairs of this the greatest of all commercial empires? —(Cheers.) Are vou in Liverpool willing to fit st;11, and that other towns should sit still, making, and e arning, and living just as you can, all merely permissively ng yourselves citizens of this great kingdom, and if law did not interfere, having the power of gathering to your selves the riches of the whole earth, and adding incalculably to the comfort and well being of the whole population—are y n willing ignorance and that these men, who have pro ved their gnorance e and incompetency so that every one must see sh.uld still rule over and gi late for the commerce of this great king dom ?—(Loud cheering, and,, cr ies of Well stand it n o longer.") VN e said from the beginning, and all experience has confirmed the opinion then expressed, that the corn -l aw 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 Lynam, in Wiltshire, where 1,000 labourers assemb led b y the lightof the moon to di s c uss 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 I..bour, 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 time. Mr. Hey worth has spoken of the United States, and read a paragraph from the report of Mr. , -ecretary Walker, which ought to be published in every newspaper in the kingdom, and be read by every man in Great Britain and Ireland—a report which extends the frimully hand of America to this country, asks us to forget bygones, and be brethren, as we ought new to , be, —(Loud cheers.) A great reduction of the American tariff must follow the abolition of our corn-law, and the abo lition of the ecrn-law will fur ever destroy all chance of war between this country and the United States.-( Loud Ow ing.) Recollect, too, that the Prime Minister of England is in a p , sitlon of extraordinary difficulty—such a position as ' no Prime Minister, perhaps, has occupied in the memory 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 sles 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 lila 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 tothl 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 it ind of the Prime Minister, and the questions which he 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 hanger, 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 scriptians to this fund. We want this money, and we must have it.—(A voice, "You shall have it," and loud cheers.) If you are 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 occupied, 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 tor 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 bad no great reputation he as connected with this great .quesstip 14.4,41ertit ; _yrote men in the Own who had doneas - MuchOr t4lecau.ll,:of fLes trade as any in the kingd o t ni w ith th e me a ns ; they had 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—(Hear, 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.

Blackburn 5O 0 0 Of the aggregate sum of 14,0001., there are, we under stand, about 3,0001. which were subscribed at Manchester, but, being the subscriptions of inhabitants of Liverpool, were again announced at this meeting. Mr. CoIDEN now rose to address the meeting, and was re ceived with rapturous applause. He said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I feel that I am 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, 1 have a colleague m -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 up o n having been concerned in the exertions to accompl_sh 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 oppo nents to convey the idea that by some ingenious necromancy we are to turn the 250,000/. which we intend to raise into th. creation of county voters, but r eally the generalb°do f r opponents ought to take time to consider before t h ey swallow those raw jokes of their leaders—(Cheers.) They Tight to recollect that a sum one - fourthof 250,0001., of which only 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 county votes by this subscription of 250,000/.—(Hear, hear.) We do not 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 p ay 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 ex hibited.—(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.) - a 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 r rest, we have no West Incite or Canada merchants to give a fashionable tone to sosiety, and favour monopoly.—(Hear, hear.) We are in Manchester unprotected cotton menus 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 Manchester.—(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 pia 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 hiveresults of the anticipated election, I always heard it asked, '• What will Liverpool do in the case of an elec tion F " I wish to give the friends of free trade an oppors 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 lik e ly t o b rea k up all political party feeling. Within the nest fortnight you will be placed in a positiop 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, wha t on a former ocoasion, was looked open as the Pilot-balloon of Sir Robert Peel— (Laoghter)s,has .stated that he is opposed to the govern ment ; and the Duke of Newcastle, who owns the borough of Newark, states that Mr. Gladstone should not be again returned.—(Hear, hear.) Here are clear proofs that Sir R. ; Peel is going to propose a measure whit!' will separate bins from those former supporters of his, and 14401 We l that a rupture in the H o use o f Com s n,toptA a4OO follow e d rupture of 1 4 4 , 1111 e taq' Liverpool Un +l ' , • a ...is day furl- 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.—(Hear, 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 from 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 slavishl, will be released front their party ties. Brokers must see that more imports must produce more sales 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, requiting the adoption of more vessels, must bring more vessels to the port ; that more ♦essels will, in consequence, be re paired there, and that more vessels, too, will be built there. On these principles the interests of sl.ipowners and builders must be as completely identified with the cause of free trade as are the interests of the met chant and the broker. Again, with regard to labour; does it not appear to those who have been accus•omed to vote only with their party, that more ships coming into the port will bring more 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 s,enul 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 a.•d just cause.—(Cheers.) Ido not know whit your eolours are. I think I have heard 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 should 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-powdec candidate wilt - Enthusiastic Aci4 - 41re to show himself here EnthusiastiC cheerin , ~‘,..

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. Barley, 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 Emerald and Mercury tenders. The Janus is of course now in ordinary, acid, 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 ft 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 y( sterday 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, boom plact.d 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 fuze 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 to. , k 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 occupi, d 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 a hich 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 he 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 t ffect, 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 of the Illussrious is appointed commander of the Excellent, in place of Captain Bagot, promoted. Letters have been received from 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 tempestuous state of the weather would not admit of Commander Brown going in. The Kingfisher was to sail on the 9th of De cember, and the officers hoped to get to the Island of Ascension by Christmas-day. The enlargement of the new steam basin at the -north part of the dockyard having been approved, the neces sary orders from the Admiralty have this week been is sued, and the work wilt be carried into operation with out loss of time. The place called the Buildings has 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 the basin, capable of hiding 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 is to be made, instead of a building slip, and this will open direct from the harbour. The contractor Mr. Peter Nolte, has now about 500 mechanics and la bourers at work on this great undertaking, and as the n d ts ock o 3 f the arrl, season advances will take on about 200 more. A hard, t o o r % l landing dwi ill h p e l a f c o e r , m f e o d r theto the use or the eastwardinohfa inhabitants and as Frederick's Battery and Magazine are to be in eluded in the dockyard, another ba t tery will be made, to command the approaches on e i ther side, and in fro n t. The west and south walls of the basin are already built height, and about 150 masons are oc 'ed on them. cure WOOLWICH, JAN. 9.—The Grampus, 50 guns., Capt. H. B.
