This Bank will combine the advantages of complete security to shareholders, depositors, and others, with an ample return upon the capital invested in the undertaking. This will be accomplished in the following manner : All the funds of the Bank, with the exception of those required for current purposes, will be invested in Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, or the Public Funds, and in no other securities whatever. The various branches of business transacted by other banks will be undertaken by this Establishment, with the exception .of discounts; but accommodation in this respect will be procurable on the most favourable terms, through the agency of this Bank. Advances will be made solely upon the securities specified above, and no person will be allowed to overdraw his account. Interest, at the rate of I% per cent., will be allowed upon Special Deposits, and the dexter halves of Exchequer Bills, or India Bonds, of a corresponding amount, will be given, if required, to the depo sitor; such deposits, if under 10,0001., may be withdrawn without notice; and If amounting to 10,0001., and upwards, at One day's notice. With a view to assure the shareholders and depositors of the con stant management of the Bank under the rules laid down, and to keep them at all times acquainted with its condition and security, there will be three auditors, whose duty it will be at least once in every month, and as much oftener as they may think proper, to in spect the accounts and securities in the Bank, and who will have a discretionary power to call a special general meeting of the proprie tors, at any time they may think such a measure advisable. A preliminary account has been opened with the Bank of England, in the names of six of the directors above-mentioned. The unequalled security which this Establishment will afford to all classes associated with it, Is perhaps a sufficient guarantee for the patronage of the public, and its consequent success. The shareholders will find in it a perfectly safe, and at the same time a more profitable investment than that presented by any Esta blishment subject to the well known general risks of the Banking business, since it will be free from those losses which operate in other cases as a drawback on the dividend. Depositors will have, in their own possession, indisputable proof of the safety of their property, and other persons employing this Establishment will find all the conveniences attending private or Joint• Stock Banks. The outline which has been given will convey a general idea of the plan. In the prospectus will be found the fullest information, and an address in which is discussed the system of Banking now in opera tion, and the necessity for the introduction of a new system, con forming itself to the regulations of the above-mentioned Act of Par liament, for the purpose of affording greater security than could hitherto be obtained, the want of which has been manifested by the heavy losses which many Joint-Stock Banks have sustained. Applications for shares, in the annexed Form, may be addressed to the Secretary, at the OffiCe of the National Security Bank, No. 163, Fenchurch-street ; to the above Solicitors and Stockbrokers of the Company; and to the following Solicitors in the country, of whom copies of the Prospectus awl any information may be obtained :—An dover, 11.

The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, the advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is Its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwellin:-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these, are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNrvEaskt, GAS Busalr.a." As the cost of laying on gas is mach lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-horses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir JonN RENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was hea , ed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third."

HALSE, the Pr o f esso r o f M e di ca l Galvanism, of 5, Pelham-crescent, Brompton, begs to inform his friends that lie has taken the house, No. 44, Finsbury circus, Finsb iry-square, and will be ready to receive patients there in about a fortnight's time. He also informs them that as the house is a large one, he will be enabled to do away with 'the great incon venience of keeping patients waiting so long, as he is now sometimes compelled to do, it being his intention to have eight operating rooms, and thus have eight patients under the operation at one time. In the interim, invalids who may be desirous of having his pamphlet on Medical Galvanism, will be pleased to inclose two postage stamps to him at Pelham-crescent.

THE NAUTICAL ALMANAC for 1846, 47, 48, and 49, MAY STILL BE HAD. John Murray, Albemarle-street. PRICE SD. are too well known to need recapitulation. Some among us are the converts of the League, bnt there are many of us who, before the League was iormed, before Colonel Thompson wrote his Corn-law Cate chism, or Ebenezer Elliott his Corn-law Rhymes, from the time the food monopoly assumed its most odious form in the law of 1815, have cherished an un dying hostility to the system, from the conviction that it was highly injurious to the welfare of our country. By the kindness of Providence, great men have been raised up to accomplish its overthrow—the object hes been pursued with unparalleled constancy, sagacity, and zeal,—with a liberality, which, if it was not most wise, would have been prodigal. We believe that the tree of monopoly is not merely cut down, but uprooted, and therefore we recommend that this association, following the example of tl:e League, be now conditionally dis solved; but if it shall hereafter be seen that any fibres of the old root retain their vitality, if one shoot should re-appear above the surface of the ground, then we shall call upon you to resume your labours, and complete your tusk by its utter eradication. And now, as a Free Trade Association, we bid you farewell. We commend to your sense of justice the great leaders under whose guidance we have reached this high consummation. You will retire, we trust, to no inglorious ease, other fields of labour for the good of your kind now claim your atten tion; to the moral, the intellectual, and the physical im provement your countrymen you will now turn your thoughts, your exertions, and your prayers." He afterwards alluded to the time when the association was formed five years ago, and the progress it had since made, until now, that its labours were brought to a close. The League had been formed only for commer cial reform; and so soon as that was obtained, as a necessary consequence it fell to pieces. The men who composed it, however, still remained, and they would probably turn their attentione4Qestelser subjects. They must not forget, at the same duce, to whom they were indebted for what they had received—their early leaders, foremost of whom was Colonel Thompson, who he was happy to see present this evening.—(Cheers.) It would be bad taste in him (Mr. Smith) to occupy the time of the meeting just now, and he would therefore simply move the resolution, leaving it to others to second and support it. Mr. Smith accordingly moved the resolu tion, which was seconded by Edward Vickers, Esq. Lord MORPETIS, M.P., was introduced by the Chair man, and on presenting himself was received by loud and often continued plaudits—the company rising, waving their handkerchiefs, and renewing their applause at several intervals. His Lordship, on silence being obtained, spoke as follows :—Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I will confess to you that even placed as I am, surrounded as I cm, welcomed as I am, it would not have been my first impulse at the end of a very long and laborious session of Parliament—after having myself during the progress of that session, gone through two elections—it would not have been my first impulse to have met you under a roof, and to have come to make and to listen to speeches in a closed apartment. I would rather have betaken myself—or rather I should have been tempted to betake myself to those woods and forests—(Laughter)—which are sup posed to be officially assigned to me.—(Cheers.) But when I reflected on the uniform consideration and kind ness I have ever experienced in the town and neighbour hood of Sheffield, and the undeviating support which has upon all occasions been given to me during my connexion with the West Riding of Yorkshire—(Hear) —upon the struggle, and (as far as Sheffield is con cerned) the successful struggle which you made even in the hour of defeat—when I reflect further, that at the two last elections you w e r e ki n d enough to dispense with my personal attendance amongjou, but gene• rously renewed your confidence and support without my having appeared in the usual manner to claim it at your hands—when I reflect further on the occasion which now brings us together, upon the stake which Sheffield has in that great question, the history of which seems now to be completed, and of the part she has borne in every part of the mighty struggle I felt that I could not occupy the first moment of our recess better than by coming among you, and here, in the heart of Sheffield, joining you in the office of ringing the knell of the departed corn-law, and offering a benediction round the cradle of free trade.—(Loud cheers). The resolution which has been moved and seconded brings before you two different administrations, and the names of the respective leaders of the two great parties in the state. Any one who has bestowed any attention upon what has been said will be aware that I for one have never failed in giving the fall meed of just praise to Sir Robert Peel for the part he has borne in the settlement of the corn law. He himself, in the last speech he made as a Minister of the Crown, paid a great and emphatic, but no more emphatic or great than just, tribute to the paramount claims of Richard Cobden.—(Loud cheers.) And I feel that Richard Cobden himself would be the last man who would deny the credit which is justly at tached, in connexion with the history and downfal of the corn -law, to Sir Robert Peel.—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) I feel that I ought not, in thel position I now occupy, to endeavour to assign the degree of credit which may attach to the party in the state with which lam connected, or to the Ministry of which I have the honour to be a member.—(Loud cheers.) What is more to the purpose is to remember how incumbent it is upon that Ministry to bear in mind what has been the course it has hitherto pursued, and what the principles which have entitled us to succeed to that high position. And I trust that the Government of Lord John Russell, con formably with the spirit of that resolution, will feel that throughout all the domain of free trade, their part is not only to carry out, but to improve upon what has been done.—(Loud cheers.) There is indeed one lesson which our excellent chairman has given us, which, for my part, I should be the last to disclaim. He has told us that the great duty of governments is to let the people alone. Now, feeling,how much more they have:always dome, and done so well, I am quite content to take the injunction of my friend near me, and I wish it could be taken up by half the world besides—to let them alone, and let them manage their own business, which they can do better than with the help of meddling governments and legislatures.—(Hear, hear.) However, in managing the complicated affairs of a country like this, there will al ways be plenty for its administration to do ; and I hope the experience of the last great struggle, and the know ledge of the difficulties we have overcome, will show to us that there is 'scarely a difficulty, when met in a right spirit, which may not be overcome when fairly confronted and honestly grappled with. And in this spirit I hope the Administration which now enjoys the confidence of the Crown will be able to:reap many noble gleanings in the field of human progress.—(Loud cheers.) There is,one consideration adverted to byyour chairman, whilst it tends in some degree to damp the exhiliration and to suspend the satisfaction with which we should be otherwise disposed to hail the past triumphs of free trade policy, and to enervate its coming trophies, yet if rightly considered, at the same time embraces the value of that principle which has been embodied in the recent measures of the Legislature, and ought to make us more satisfied than ever that it has now given it a permanent sanction. The consideration I mean is that which I fear is too correctly stated in the recent speech of her Ma jesty from the throne—the disease in the potato crop. But, lamentable as the presence of this evil is—fearful as the prospects are which it may open before us, yet we ought to feel grateful that we have already done all which pertains to human knowledge and legislatures to break the shock, and to counteract the mischief.— (Hear, hear.) The mysteries of nature which we cannot read ; the decrees of Providence which we cannot con trol, seem to proclaim to us that at present at least there will be a large deficiency in an ordinary and very general article of human subsistence. But at last our ports will no longer be subject to an uncertain and capricious sliding-scale, which must have practically shut them on the importation of wheat, oats, beans, barley, maize, and other grain. At last articles of human food will be admitted free of duty under all circumstances. And does not this dark and myste rious evil, which now seems to be spreading over vast tracts of country, seem to bring something in the spirit of a solemn rebuke to those who, in the earlier discus sions of the present session, without, I am ' sure, any intention to deal lightly with the privations of their countrymen, yet permitting themselves, with something like premature levity, to indulge in sarcastic references to the malady in the potatoes ; and to those who have been lately filling the market places and the farmers' tables of our provinces with dismal lamentations over the good old days of bygone protection ? I fear that I am presenting to you no imaginary picture when I say that if such measures are not taken, especially in the sister country of Ireland—as I know are about being taken—multitudes will run the risk of famine. The most inveterate protectionist will tell you that ho is as ready as any one to meet the pressure of any im mediate evil, and that if the natural operations of their loved sliding-scale had not of itself reduced prices, in such a state of affairs they would have been ready in the face of famine to throw all the ports open. But we tell them that that is not enough—small . thanks to you, that the sharp cry of a people's famine will be strong enough to sweep away every obstacle ; but what we want to proclaim is that in every year, in every sea son, in every state of the weather, the ports of Britain shall be open.—(Loud cheers.) Therefore plough now your fields, and wastes, and prairies ; cut down your forests ; grub up the roots of your trees ; sow wheat, and maize, and barley, and oats, and beans, and peas,— load all your boats and barges on your seas and rivers, the Baltic, the Don, the Hudson, and the Mississippi, — come when they may, and from whence they may, for the ports of England shall be open to them, and no man shall stop them.—(Loud cheers.) The manufacturers and workmen of busy England shall open their mouths wide for all this abundance, and no man shall stay it.— (Cheers.) And this it is mainly which makes me re joice that the people and the Parliament of my country have given a complete, an irresistible, an eternal sanction to the principles of free trade, and to reverse which I believe will be a far harder task than to remove the pyramids or to stop the downfal of Niagra.—(Cheers.) And I have the sanction of your chairman and of this meetirig, that if such an attempt should be made, the free-treaders of Sheffield will do their best to stop it and to put it down —(Hear, hear.) But then it is the fashion for the defeated and disappointed to deprecate and dis parage the principles which they have been unable to arre st, and which they are powerless to change. And they efore it is that we hear some of that party talking witl t infinite scorn of its being supposed to be a right • thin gin a commercial country to lay down the rule that you ex@ to bay in the cheapest and to sell in the dearest EXAMPLES.

Very IMPORTANT and VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, embracing ,the entire PARISH of ADDINGTON, free of Tithes and Land-tax, and almost of Poor-rates, with its spacious Mansion, excellent Manor for Game, the Advowson, and several first-rate Grazing and Dairy Farms, extending nearly to the town of Win slow, and• only live miles from the county and borough town of Buckingham, distinguished as the family seat and domain of the late Hon. General Vere Poulett, forming a singularly eligible rand solid investment for capital, in a proverbially rich and fine sporting country. . - MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are commissioned to announce that the above remarkably valuable and truly important FREEHOLD ESTATE will be SOLD by AUCTION, at the Mart, near the Bank of England, on THURS DAY, 24th of September (unless an acceptable offer shall be previ ously made by private treaty). It comprises the spacious and substantial MANSION OF AD DINGTON, with walled garden, capital stabling, &c., placed on a gentle elevation, nearly in the centre of one of the MOST FERTILE DOMAINS in the county, embracing the entire parish, nearly encircled by a fine brook, and chiefly rich grazing and dairy land, the whole tithe free, and let to old respectable tenants at rents amounting to about 2,6001. per an num. The perpetual Advowson, with its parsonage and glebe, and the Manor, which is well stocked with game, appertain to the es tate. The timber is nearly all elm, a certain proof of the fertility of the soil. The high turnpike road from Aylesbury to Buckingham passes through the property, close to the town of Winslow, and it is within a very easy distance of the several markets of Buckingham, Bicester, Stony Stratford, &c. This description of grass land is unlikely to be affected by any change as to Corn-laws or Tariffs, and the property therefore presents, with its peculiar and great local ad vantages, an indisputably fine and choice property for the invest ment of money, with a most enjoyable domain for residence, being in a perfectly rural district, and in the centre of several packs of hounds. A station on the Buckinghamshire Railway will be very near. The property may be viewed by application to Mr. King, surveyor, Winslow, of whom particulars may be had ; also of Messrs. Walker and Gridley, solicitors, 5, Southampton-street; of Messrs. Karsiake and Crealock, solicitors, Carlton Chambers, Regent-street.; and every information obtained of Messrs.

By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years andten." 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 everyliving 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 be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to eurselves, we secure the Ilk e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as bast becomes the highest of God's creations.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—.• T he work now before us will be a pp re ciated by the profession a l man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between irritative' and inflammatory' action in d e t e rmining the course of t reatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by rnanslaughtering quacks." From the London Mercantile. Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors In treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea lousies which sever the peace of families."

GREAT FREE TRADE FESTIVAL AT THE MUSIC HALL, SHEFFIELD. (Abridged from the Sheffield Iris.) The commemoration of the passing of the glorious measures of free trade was celebrated on Wednesday, at the Music Hall, by the Free Trade Association and their friends, and throughout the town by the majority of tradesmen closing their shops at noon, to give their assistants and apprentices a holiday. The soiree, at the Music Hall, was held at six o'clock in the evening, when the orchestra, platform, and saloon were crowded in every part, to say nothing of the occupants of the gallery, who attended as spectators of the scene. In the centre of the orchestra sat the Chairman, W. Fisher, Esq., supported on the right by Lord Morpeth, Edward Smith, Esq., H. G. Ward, Esq., M.P., Mr. Alderman Dunn, R. R. R. Moore, Esq., and Richard Solly, Esq. ; and on the left of the chair were John Parker, Esq., M.P., Edward Vickers, Esq., Colonel Thompson, W. Jeffcock, Esq., H. Wilkinson, Esq., and S. Butcher, Esq., Mayor. In the orchestra seats we also observed T. A. Ward, Esq., town regent, T. B. Turton, Esq., master cutler, Ashmead, Esq., from Pniladelphia, U.S., Eckman, Esq., from Sweden, Dr. Bartolome, F. Hoole, Esq., R. J. Gainsford, Esq., John Ryalls, Esq., John Yeomans, jun., Esq., C. Appleby, Esq., Wm. Waterfall, Esq. ; Revs. B. T. Swamis, Rhodes, and Wright ;Aldermen, Carr, G. Turton, and W. Hoole ; Councillors, H. Wil kinson, Thompson, H. Atkin, W. Fisher, jun., I. P. Cutts, J. Stevenson, G. Tucker, Jon. Roebuck, T. Rodgers, Roper, and Jackson ; Edward Bramley, town clerk ; Henry Vickers, Esq; Messrs. W. A. Matthews, Hobson, Unwin, Moss, Oates, David Johnson, Zechariah Dyson, and George Johnson. Immediately behind the chair were several sheaves of wheat, ripe and full, and inscribed on a large banner, at the back of the orchestra, " Union, Perseverance, and Victory." The railings in front of the orchestra were ornamented with flowers and evergreens—with a fine wheat sheaf in the centre. On the sides of the orchestra were splendid stands of rare and choice flowers, from which, along the sides of the building to the gallery, ran superb festoons composed of evergreens and flowers. In front of the gallery hung a spacious banner inscribed, " Wisely use the pre sent, learn from the past, and trust to the future." " Time works wonders." One cross table was placed for the distinguished guests in the orchestra. The platform contained six tables at right angles from the orchestra, and nine other tables occupied the remainder of the saloon. At the bottoms of the chandeliers hung gigantic ears of Indian corn—showing that the increasing popu lation of our own little island, can, through the blessing of free trade, be sup Flied with the surplus produce of other and distant lands. In front of the chairman was a superb silver vase, on an equally magnificent silver waiter, filled with a most beautiful bouquet of flowers. The company consisted of some of the best men of Hal lamshire. 'Their wives and daughters also graced the scene with their presence, and it was truly gratifying to see so noble and immortal a cause countenanced by so many hundreds of the lovliest and fairest members of creation. Both from the orchestra and the gallery the scence was a most imposing one, and will be long im pressed on the memories of those who witnessed it. At the conclusion of the repast, the CHAIRMAN pro ceeded with the business of the meeting. He apolo gised for having taken so prominent a position, and regretted his inability to fulfil the duties in connexion with it. He paid a high compliment to the ladies of Sheffield for the part they had taken in the victory which had been achieved, many of them having ren dered the most valuable services in connexion with the bazaar at Covent-garden Theatre, and having shown that their sympathies were enlisted in this great cause. He was satisfied in his own mind that by a repeal of the corn-laws the labouring population would be much better clothed, and many other happy results would arise which he hoped they would live to see. At any time the repeal of the corn-laws would have been acceptable, but it had come at a time when cir cumstances rendered it doubly so. They were fearful of a great falling off in the potato crop, a more early and more extensive failure than last year, and in the face of such a calamity free trade in corn was indeed a great and important benefit. He hoped they would all live to see the sentiments of free trade more fully appreciated and understood. They had not yet got quite all they asked for, but a good instalment of some thing like seventeen and sixpence in the pound, and very good security for the remainder.---(Hear, hear.) The corn-law being repealed was the removal of the centre arch of monopoly. Sugar had already given way, and they might infer that all other monopolies would soon go in the same way. As a proof of the good likely to be effected by such proceedings, and their effect upon other countries, he referred to the alteration already made in the United States, and to the reception which Mr. Cobden had met with in Paris. He (the Chairman) was of opinion with the Frenchman in the observation lesser nous faire, meaning in English "Let us alone," and all he would ask was permission to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market. Having said so much, he would not occupy the time of the meeting, but would proceed to the business of the evening, and leave it to others to address the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then read the following letters, which had been received from the parties, in excuse for their non-attendance:— Wentworth, Aug. 14, 1846. Sir,—Being otherwise engaged on the 2d of Sept., and at a distance from home, it will not be in my power to attend the soiree intended to commemorate the great step in commercial reform by passing the recent Corn Act.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your very faithful servant, FITZ WILLIAM. 5, Charlottte-street, Bedford-square, July 18, 1846. Dear am much gratified by the request of the Association of which you are the President, that I should join in their rejoicings for the recent free-trade victory. lam sorry to have to add, that I can only sym pathise with them from a distance, as it will not be practicable for me to be in Sheffield at the time men tioned. With thanks for the added kindness of your son's invitation, I am, dear Sir, yours truly, To Wm. Fisher, Esq. W. J. FOX. West Lodge, Putney Lower Common, July 27. Sir,—lay its transit, some accident your letter was delayed in transit, or I should have earlier replied to it. Now, and for some time I fear, the increased occupation laid upon me by this new paper, will render it more than inconvenient for me to leave London, otherwise I assure I you I should have most gladly availed myself of the honour of the invitation conveyed to me—the more so, ' too, as I am anxious at the first opportunity, to pay the debt, or part of it, that I already owe to the courtesy and forbearance of the good people of Sheffield.—Yours faithfully, DOUGLAS JERROLD. Leeds, July 24, 1846. My dear Sir,—l feel greatly honoured by the invita tion of the Sheffield Free-Trade Committee to attend the public soiree. I assure you it would have given me the greatest pleasure to be present on that interesting occa sion; but a business journey, previously fixed, and which cannot be put off, compels me to deline. Accept, my dear Sir, my hearty congratulations on the great constitutional victory which you are about to colebrate.—l am, dear Sir, yours very faithfully, EDWARD nAINES, Jun. W. Fisher, Esq., President. Great Houghton, near Barnsley, 29th July, 1846. Dear thank you for your invitation, and wish T. deserved it; but I could not accept it without becoming an object of derision to myself. Tieing taken no part in your four years' battle, why should I share in your tri umph? Without the funds of the League, even the abi lities of Mr. Cobden would have been useless; and to those funds I contributed not a farthing! On the 21st Instant, in reply to a letter of invitation from John Yeo mans, jun., Esq., I said all this in many more words, my cibjects being to express, however inadequately, my sense of the appalling difficulties encountered and over 'come by Mr. Cobden, and to remind the world of an ) other benefactor, Colonel Thompson, who, to say the least, is the father of free trade agitation, and whose ,deeds, in their blessed consequences, will not be found - to be " of the things which pass away." I am, dear Sir, yours very truly, EBENEZER ELLIOTT. EDWARD SMITH, Esq., the Vice-President, next rose and read the report of the Free-trade Association:— " THE FINAL REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE SHEFFIELD FREE TRADE ASSOCIATION. "On former occasions we have met to keep alive our hopes, to note the progress of our cause, or to devise new and liberal measures for its promotic n. We now meet for the last time, but we meet to congratulate each other that the principles of free trade have pre vailed. That their opponents have become their Mi nisters, that every statesman has acknowledged them to be true and just—that they have received the au , thority of law, and that therefore our labours have ceased. We shall not weary . you with a retrospect of the past history pf thin 4secczat*. Whe leading facts ez7 - ite7. .f?—/ " •`'N • market. Now I certainly cannot see anything ignoe minions in such a maxim. On the contrary, it seems to me that if we should actin any other way it would beb to act in despite of every-day prudence and of plain common \, sense. But Ido not stop here, for I would ask whether' - buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market is not the only course which can enable the indivlelutale who practise it, orthe nations, which are formed of-itiet individuals, to put a larger surplus into their pocketer---sse_Y- - - than if they had bought in a market less cheap, or sold' in a market less dear? To put a surplus in one's pocket —" Oh, what a low idea," it will be said.—(A laugh.) ; How very unlike the days of chivalry—how very unlike the days of Archbishop Laud, the eavesdropper. But this practice of putting a larger surplus into your pocket, paltry as it may seem, what does it represent? It repre sents the power, in the first instance, of having a larger meal, a rasher of bacon, or a jug of milk, when these things, under other circumstances, would have been forbidden luxuries. It represents the power of having better furniture in your houses and lodgings, of mend ing your broken panes of glass, and of stopping the holes in your roofs to keep out the cold :and rain, when under other circumstances it would have been a sort of waste to do so. It represents getting better clothes for your children, which will enable you to take them to church or to meeting, or to walk out on a Sunday afternoon, or to send them to school to receive the bene fits of a good education.—(Hear.) It represents, as you rise still higher in the social scale, a choicer collection of books upon your library shelves, or more favourise prints and pictures upon your parlour walls. And it represents navy the power, w i t h out h av i ng recourse to additional taxa,- an thelt will n a y enable estimates,3e tion, of pro v idi ng better :security r for the wars of our na ti e Id. a without calling orndonuo: to increase Mr other Member, Mr. Parker, to devise a fresh tax for this already heavily-taxed people.—(Cheers.) It will also represent additional comforts toe your soldiers and sailors; it will provide new sources o,c recreation for your labourers and mechanics, by opening eublic walks and galleries, supplying them with the sigist of works of art, and with the exhibition of works of science. It will make the nation at large, not only more wealthy in the lowest and grossest sense of the town, but more bril liant, more refined, more benevolent.—(Loud cheers.) In short, it is the talent which, put out to interest, will .wake it,' possessor wealthy, and worthy to rule over ten cites. In the measures lately adopted we have, of course, mainly sought our own good as a nation. But other nations will see what we have done, and will copy us, for their own good.—(Hear.) The more you establish and extend the benefits of tree trade, the ereater security there is for a good understanding and the harmony of nations. Talk of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market being a low cod paltry maxim, why it is to se cure that cheapness and to acquire that dearness that nations will be brought to se.' the guilt of war.—(Hear, and cheers.) No sooner has this country, in her impe rial Legislature, given lofty utterance to tire doctrines of free trade, but already we hear the echo across the At lantic. Even Russia is contracting the giant limbs of her prohibitive system; Sardinia and Sicily are also giving in to that maxim of law and prudence; and even the Pope of Rome has become the promoter of railways, and I hope he will end by becoming a sound commercial reformer.—(Hear, and cheers.) And fate whispers that we are beginning to instil these principles into the hitherto closed ears of Germany and the Rhine. OaX charmer charms too wisely for parties to stop their ears; and I look forward to the day when the sword will drop from the hand of the soldier, and the red artillery shall quench its murderous flashes.—(Hear.) And now I hope you will go with me in saying that this derided maxim of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market, besides the immediate benefits it confers, must tend to the sublimity, the charity, and the blessed ness of peace.—(Loud cheers, during which his Lord ship sat down.) JOHN PARSER, Esq., M.P., was sure that the meeting would think, from the speech which they had just heard, that the Noble Lord had made a very recent incursion from the woods and forests, and happy was itfor them that he bad carried into that district all that poetry of nature and truthful portraiture in the speech which he had just made. But as he (Mr. Parker) had not the advantage of presiding in so poetical a region, he had no occasion to dwell upon those beauties, or to enter at all into the question of woods and forests. They must be content to hear his humble views advocated in common and prosaic English, and showing the triumph which truth had gained over prejudice and error. They had very pro perly put upon one of their banners, " Time works wonders"—that was an undoubted truth ; but he would ask which of them in the course of a few years would look back to anything compared with the magnitude of the struggle that that great commemoration had con summated, or could have thought that they should have met at that period to speak no longer of the law as it exists, but which was obliterated, and gone to that place from which he hoped it never would return. Some time ago the persons who entertained these views were not many. Col. Thompson had certainly given the country some sound opinions, which he had taken from Adam Smith, who had lived before him, and illustrious writers who had gone before their time, and had constituted the age in which they lived by their discoveries. But the prin. ciples of commercial freedom, though popular here some few years ago, were inadequately understood, and it was not until the mind of the nation had had the stirring events of late years applied to it, that they saw before them the reality of this question in all its importance. They had industry enough to deal with these monopolies as they had been dealt with. He re membered well when this question was first raised in Sheffield. He remembered, in 1840, when the ques tion first took a formidable position, he took the liberty of asking some friends as to the great difference between this question and others which bad been easily carried. Ile contrasted this question with the slavery question and the reform in Parliament. In slavery there was none to oppose them but the planters, while in the abolition of boroughs, there was none but a power ful aristocracy and a powerful party in those bo roughs—but there was a mighty majority in the nation. Now in the question of the corn-law matters were in a different position, because they had not only the great proprietors, but also the small landed pro prietors against them in the three kingdoms. He therefore saw from the first that it would be a severe struggle, and therefore they ought to thank those who had shared in the struggle, and whose services could never be sufficiently appreciated. The corn-laws were now, he believed, settled for ever. But if Mr. Fisher's doctrine of letting things alone had been applied some ten years ago to the corn-law, they would have been in a different position. He meant letting things alone when they were in a natural and inartificial state. He wanted to clear away these in jurious laws, and then, when the coast was clear, let things alone. He trusted it would be the maxim of every future Minister who should conduct the affairs of this country. There was another victory not less im portant than that of corn, he meant sugar. It was emi nently useful and desirable that when the corn-law was settled. and before lassitude came over the public mind, the Government should address themselves to the sugar question. They did so, and taking advantage of cir cumstances within their reach, they had succeeded, he hoped, in settling that most difficult and perplexing question, and putting sugar as well as corn upon the principles of free trade.—(Cheers.) He must say, with respect to this great achievement and victory of free trade, he could not pourtray its results in such lan guage as they had heard from his Noble Friend, but all must see that it was in point of fact the necessary result that when that cloud in the west appearW, frightening statesmen from their propriety, and alarm ing every lover of peace and good order—(Hear, hear) — when there were rumours and reports as to the possi bility of our friendly connexions with America being is jeopardy, they must see that if this great question of free trade had not intervened there would have been little hope of these dangers being averted ; but they were now holding out the olive-branch of peace and the right hand of fellowship. They could rejoice that the quarrel was over, without having recourse to the department of his Honourable Friend, or to to his own department, to ' maintain the dignity of England. He was happy to see Colonel Thompson present, one of the great veterans and champions in the cause. During the fourteen years i which he had had the honour of a seat n Parliament,lfrons whatever side the question had come, his vote had always been recorded on the side of free trade.—(Hear, hear.) He had voted with Colonel Thompson when perhaps not more than a score were with them ; with Lord Mor. peth, when the votes did not reach 100 ; and with Mr. Cobden, since he had taken the command of that great cause. lie had not expected that for some years they would have obtained that great victory ; but it should teach them that where a mighty nation and an intelligent people employed their minds and energies in the right way, without mixing the question up with party objects, looking only to truth, that power is irresistible. He hoped to see in future the absence of that vindictive and party feeling by which the affairs of the country had been too much agitated. He hoped to see a prospect of some armistice and lull of party warfare. The result of the struggle must impress them with the truth that there were means in store for carrying out great social results. It taught him—and he hoped it would teach all—that if they had but steadiness and industry, honour and ho nesty, they would have the support of nations, and be, as we were—victorious. (Mr. Parker sat down loudly cheered.) Mr. WARD, on rising, was received with', lone and loud cheering, which lasted some minutes. After it had subsided, he said, that if he had looked only to personal feelings and circumstances, he should have preferred to meet that company at a future period. He had, how ever, felt it to be his duty to do so, and had accordingly come amongst his old friends. He wished to remind them that it was not a convivial meeting, but one to celebrate an important operation in our history —and to pay respect to that company withoutdisret spect to others. He felt that he had a difficult tas to follow those who had preceded him—and who had left him so little to glean, particularly as he !Tel, the fourth commentator upon the same resotuttee r Lord Morpeth had taken an intellectual, and Mr. Parker a practical view of the great question of fre trade—and he would therefore like to know what her, had left for those who followed them.—(Hear anti laughter.) The course which that meeting was adopt. ing was one which was suitable to the great occasion— and singularly so, as regarded its time and character , and constitution. In all the speeches which he hay;. heard that night it had been made a matter of astonish. ment that they should have been then meeting for such a purpose, and at such a time. If, at the same perio last year, any one had predicted the most impossibh thing, it would have as easily gained credit, as to_ ha e li: , prophecied that his Noble Friend, Lord Morpe th, sh o a l ; now address them, not only as a member of th e CAD • and congratt but also as Member for the West Richngs ic a b the count: - lating that company upon the positiowte believed, hi had assumed.
