SlR,—Observing in the " Times" newspaper of this day a list of the several railway schemes that have failed to deposit their plans, Sec., necessary to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, and which are, therefore, not in a position to proceed to Parliament at the ensuing session, I find that there is one inserted, and called the "Manchester, Liverpool, and Newcastle Junction." As it is very probable that this may be taken for this undertaking, and in that case it will necessarily cause great alarm amongst the Shareholders and other persons interested in the project, I shall feel greatly obliged if you will have the goodness in the City article of your paper of this day, or in some other prominent part, to state that if the project, as inserted in the " Times," be intended for the Liverpool, Manchester, and New castle upon-Tyne Junction Railway Company, it is an error, as all the documents requisite to comply with the standing orders of Parliament were duly deposited, relating to that undertaking, and the notice on landowners, Bx., served in proper time.

The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage on skipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ; but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The Immense fortunes k nown to have b een rea lised by individuals who have advanced money upon t h e secur i ty o f 'shinning, with an assignment of the policy of assuranc,e, afford the best guarantee o f t h e soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded. The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a wide field for the operations of the Association. The great balk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period for which the loan has been granted. Among the many advantages it hcilde out, the following are not To the Shipowner, the certainty of obtaining, at a moderate rate, aid without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he most requires it. The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at an equitable rate. To the . Shipbuilder, particularly when building fer the market, either at home or in our colonies, by placing him in a position less dependent upon immediate sale at an unfavourable season. +To both, a participation in the profits of the Association by be crming shareholders. The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro prietary : The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the Association ; hence the double profit which will arise from these two sources. A total absence of risk to the shareholders. _ _ It m y be added that an extensive connexion has been already formed in the leading outports, and insurance business to a large amount secured for the Association. The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed those of any ordinary marine insurance-office. The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845. • The whole sum required for the preliminary expenses has been advanced by the London members of the Committee of Management. Applications for shares, in the usual form, may be made to the Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to any of the following agents, from whom more detailed prospectuses may be bad :—Wm.

EXTRACT FROM REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF MA NAGEMENT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, DATED THE 29TH DECEMBER, 1845, " By the scheme promoted by the Direct Northern Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to the north of which city there is a population exceeding five millions) within the distance (as mea sured by time), of four hours and a half from London ; to reduce by 42 miles the distance now traversed by the existing means of railway communication between those termini ; to lessen the distance as projected by the competing plan least favourable to the public) that of the Eastern Counties Extension by Cambridge and Lincoln) by 2134 miles, and as projected by the most favourable rival scheme (that of the London and York) by ten miles ; and yet so to reconcile this result with local wants, as to place, without in any instance sacrificing the principle of directness, every town of importance in the districts to be served by this Company's main line nearer Lon don, either by means of the main line itself, or of well-devised lateral lines, than they are by the •cheme of the London and York, which, for the sake of passing through certain towns, pursues a devious route to York, thereby inflicting a serious injury on the country north of the Humber. " Thus the scheme of the Direct Northern Railway offers to the North of England, and to all Scotland, advantages presented by no other project whatever. These advantages it also immediately con veys to Bedford, St. Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, East. Retford, Sheffield, Gainsborough, Doncaster, Pontefract, Selby, and Hull ; whilst it lessens by twenty eight miles the route to Leeds, the great manufacturing capital of Yorkshire, itself rapidly becoming the centre of an important railway system. " With perfectly unexceptionable gradients, that in no case ex ceeded 1 in 200, with upwards of sixty•nine miles of level on its main line, with no works of any engineering difficulty or of peculiarly ex pensive execution, with only 3,900 yards of tunnelling in eight tun nels, with no opening or swing bridges, with only one viaduct, and that of 500 yards, and with remarkably easy curves, the Direct North ern Railway, whilst its primary object is to unite in the directest manner London and York, will at the same time .serve a rich, fertile, and populous country, will reciprocate the advantages of easy and inexpensive communication between the manufacturing towns of the north and the agricultural and grazing counties of eastern and central England, and will connect by the shortest route the south of England and the continent of Europe with York, the north of England, and Scotland. The shareholders will observe the suggestion made by Mr. Miller, which proposes to introduce a new element of safety, regularity, and speed into railway travelling, by the conveyance of passengers and goods upon separate lines. This suggestion will, no doubt, receive the consideration due to its importance in the ensuing session. " The Committee entirely concur with Mr. Miller in the important bearing which the Holborn Terminus project has on the Direct Northern. It is in effect, though tender different management, an ex tension of that line into the heart of London. By its means the London Terminus of the Direct Northern Railway will be immediately avail able for the Post-office and the City of London generally (between Furnival's inn and Gray's-inn-lane), and will itself form a portion of one side of the widest thoroughfares in London, will be in the immediate vicinity of the Courts of Law and Inns of Court, and comes more into the heart of London, with less sacrifice of valuable property, than any metropolitan terminus which has been suggested. " In accordance, therefore, with Mr. Miller's recommendation, and in pursuance of the powers entrusted to them by their proprie tary, the Committee have taken steps to secure control over this project, satisfied that it affords the most central, and, at the same time, the most accessible and least expensive London terminus. " The Committee refer the shareholders to the map accompanying this Report; it fully shows the course and relations of the Direct Northern Railway, and its national character. " Up to the 30th of' November, all the standing orders of Parlia ment have been complied with ; and the solicitors report their per fect ability to Mill all that remains to be completed within the time limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepared, and with deposits paid, and the proper deeds signed by a body of most responsible Shareholders, the Com mittee intend to make their application to Parliament at the earliest possible day, confident that a project of such undoubted public utility as the Direct Northern, in which the public service itself is deeply interested, will there receive what it only needs to ensure its success —a fair and impartial hearing." The following tables, appended to the Report of the Company's Engineer (John Miller, Esq.), will show the relative advantages of the Direct Northern in point of distances, as compared with its com petitors for legislative sanction, and with existing lines. It may here be observed, that the distance between the cross of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, and the centre of the Great Tower of York Minster, as measured along the earth's surface, is, according to the Ordnance Survey, 920,108.7 feet, or very nearly 174 1 4 miles ; and that the main line of the Direct Northern, between London and York, is 176 miles.

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, se 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 nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With this view, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three years, after the first five years, among those who assure for the whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the Assured. For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered 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 t U ha T r I t E n S er . e are many parti cipation of the profits. The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value of the policy, on its security. Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the assured afforded by the most respectable established companies.

MEETING, most respectably attended, of landowners and occupiers of land, was held at the Bear Inn, Vantage, this 12th day of January, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of opposing the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway Company for an Act of Parliament to form their line. PHILIP SMITII COXE, Esq., in the chair. The following resolutions were proposed, seconded, and carried unanimously : RATING OF PRINCE ALBERT'S FARM. TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT OF SAXE COBURG AND GOTHA, K.Q. The humble memorial of the undersigned churchwardens and overseers of the parish of New Windsor : Showeth—That your memorialists attended a mee ti ng o f the parish of New Windsor, in the vestry, on the Bth day of January inst. That, at the instance of your memorialists, a majority of the parishioners present at such meeting passed the following resolutions : That, in the opinion of this meeting, the suggested line of railway from Oxford to Salisbury Direct is quite uncalled for, inasmuch as there is neither passengers or goods traffic along the proposed line requiring such accommodation, and consequently, that whilst a great sacrifice of private property must take place, no adequate, if any, benefit can possibly arise to the public by the formation of such a line. That as the line throughout presents one unbroken agricultural district, possessing within easy distances markets and fairs amply sufficient to absorb all the produce thereof, the scheme in question appears to this meeting a mere wanton speculation of the day, possessing neither merit in itself, or a reasonable prospect of a re turn for capital required for the undertaking. That, with these impressions, the members of this meeting do use their best endeavours, individually and collectively, to defeat the proposed measure in Parliament, and that for such purpose a sub scription be entered into, and placed in the Bank of Messrs. Barnes and Medley, Wantage Bank, to the credit of PHILIP SMITH COX), WILLIAM STONE, CHARLES RONEY, as trustees of a fund for carrying on and defraying the necessary ex penses attending a petition against the Bill, and the support thereof in Parliament. _ . _ _ " That this vestry extremely regrets that the resolutions in reference to the rating of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, passed at the vestry meeting held on the 18th of Sep tember 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 deprecates the garbled statements set forth in the public journals on the subject. "That, inasmuch as the maintenance of the poor presses heavily on the parishioners, a respectful memorial be now presented to his Royal Highness, praying him to take the state of the parish into his gracious consideration ; and that such memorial be prepared and presented by the parish officers." That Messrs. Bischoff and Coae be requested to undertake the conduct of such proceedings, and the following gentlemen do form a Committee for the general direction and conduct of the business generally, viz That your memorialists cannot approach your Royal Highness without expressing, in common with all the re spectable part of their fellow-townsmen, their deep and heart felt regret that any person should have been present at the psaroidprvieestytryofwfheoelsinhgoudlduesoto yfarohuarvßeofoyragl ig o H ttenhtnheas,s as to havetrespectand given utterance to some of those observations which have appeared in the public prints, and which your memorialists orreet and ssda.nujurestyifioanbrleßopyaraalgHiragpts ess a n t T s such c at h th a v yt es o ut t h r r y em d v e ae p mri r oo e u c ris a a t il e ni dscts beg . which have from time to time been inserted in the public papers, have never been sanctioned or approved by your memorialists, and have been published without their know ledge and concurrence, and have consequently caused great pain and embarrassment to your memorialists. That your memorialists, in humbly and respectfully lay ing their embarrassed position before your Royal Highness in the first memorial, did so, as stated in such memorial, from a necessity, as it were, cast upon them, and in opposi tion to their own feelings. That your memorialists have a full knowledge and con viction that your Royal Highness is not in any way charge ' able for any rates in respect of Flemish Farm, and regret exceedingly the resolutions which were passed at the vestry on the 18th of September last, which your memorialists again beg to reiterate were passed without their participat ing therein. That your memorialists scarcely know how to approach your Royal Highness, in craving on the part of the parish your gracious beneficence in aid of those funds which are appropriated to the poor, because they feel that your Royal Highness has not been treated by some (happily very few) persons with that respect and propriety which was due to your Royal Highness. That your memorialists would, however, cast themselves upon your Royal Highness's gracious consideration, knowing full well that liberality and kindness which has always been prominent in every act of your Royal Highness. That your memorialists would again assure your Royal Highness of the attachment and respect which is felt for your Royal Highness in this royal highly-favoured borough. And your memorialists will ever pray, &c. • THOMAS ADAMS, WILLIAM INGALTON, Churchwardens. JOHN CLOD, JAMES Crusnorm, WILLIAM NOIEE, Overseers. HENRY ROSE, Thos. CLEAVE, P. S. CoxE, Esq., Chairman.

Sir,—l am commanded by his Royal Highness Prince Albert to acknowledge the receipt of the memorial which you have forwarded to me from the parish officers of Wind sor, and in reply to state that when a claim was preferred for the payment of rates by the Prince, on account of the Flemish Farm, and when the legel liability of the Prince was insisted upon by the vestry, his Royal Highness felt himself precluded from admitting such a claim without previous consultation with the highest legal authorities. His Royal Highness submitted the whole facts of the case to the Attorney and Solicitor-General of her Majesty, and subsequently to Sir Thomas Wilde. Their opinion was, that his Royal Highness was not liable, in point of law, to the payment of rates, and that the admission by him of such liability might constitute a dangerous precedent affecting the prerogatives of the Crown. In the letter which I ad dressed to you on the 15th of December, I informed you " that his Royal Highness had no disposition to resist any claim that could in fairness be made upon him, whatever might be the legal obligations." I have now to inform yon, on the part of his Royal Highness, that if the parochial au thorities had continued to insist upon the payment of the demand made as a matter of legal right, his Royal High ness would have felt himself compelled by a sense of the duty which he owes to her Majesty to resist the claim. You have informed his Royal Highness that the vestry of Windsor has passed resolutions, of which the following are copies : "That this vestry extremely regrets that the resolutions in reference 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 Flemish Farm, and that this vestry deprecates the garbled statements set forth in the public journals on the subject." Again— " That inasmuch as the maintenance of the poor presses heavily on the parishioners, a respectful memorial be now presented to his Royal Highness, praying him to take the state of the parish into his gracious consideration, and that such memorial be prepared, and presented by the parish officers." His Royal Highness infers from these resolutions, that the vestry distinctly admits that his Royal Highness is not in any way liable to be rated- for the Flemish Farm ; and his Royal Highness therefore feels himself at liberty to take the course which is most satisfactory to his own feelings, and to pay, as a voluntary contribution, a sum equal to the rate, which would have been annually due had the legal liability of his Royal Highness been established. It is als - o his Aoyal Highness's intention that the payment of the sum referred to should commence from the year 1841. I have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, Henry Darvil, Esq. STORMING of CIUDAD RODRIGO TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—however reluctant to obtrude upon your valuable time and space, and in regard to a subject which a recent melancholy event has rendered one of peculiar delicacy, I appeal to your sense of justice to be allowed to correct an erroneous expression in the letter from the brother of the late Colonel Gurwood, which appeared in your paper of the 6th instant. _ ...... In this_ the writer states that the wound, under the effects of which his late relative had unfortunately continued to labour, was received at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, " where," he adds, " it is known he volunteered the forlorn hope." This would leave your readers to infer that there was but one breach effected, and only one forlorn hope, or that the one led by Colonel Gurwood was the principal attack. Allow me then to state, as is well known to all who were present at the assault, that the party led by Colonel Gurwood was against the lesser breach. The main breach, to the defence of which, as a mater of course, we may conclude the attention and force of the besieged were chiefly directed, it is equally well known, was stormed by the party led on suc cessfully by my late brother, Major Mackie, of the 88th Regiment, who volunteered on the occasion, although, as being senior lieutenant of his regiment, he was the first for regular promotion at the time. I beg herewith to transmit two documents—one of which is from Colonel Russell Manners, N‘he commanded the whole of the party which stormed the main breach, and who fol lowed the advance led on by my brother. The other is from Lieutenant-General Sir James Rempt ; and these are selected from a number of others equally confirmative of the state ment I have made. Under the circumstances, I am justified in asserting, that, if the term " the forlorn hope at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo" is to be restricted and applied to one of the two, it must, by preference, belong to the one which Major Mackie Ivolunteered. Having given the advantage of your wide circuliant.iuozsitictoe I what, however unintentionally, is undoubte M y th an I ' to the memory of my late brother , g bli 't to this to your known impartiality to e I e a g p a p a eal pu wi ei co y nfiden ce explanation.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, C. MACKIE. Querley Rectory, Hants, Jan. 12, 1846.

I also certify that, upon my joining the 3d division, immediately after the capture of Ciudad Rodrigo, Lieut.- General Sir Thomas Picton, then commanding the division, pointed out Captain Mackie to me as the officer who led the forlorn hope in the assault of the main breach which the 3d division carried, and that he particularly distinguished him self on that occasion. _ _ - " JAMES KEMPT, Major-General. " London, March 26,1820." STATE OF TRADE. —— - MANCHESTER, JAN. 13.—Since Tuesday last the increasing pressure for money in the metropolis appears to have exer cised an unfavourable influence on the market for manufac tured goods, and the demand has been limited, though with out any sensible change in prices. For yarn, however, the demand continues tolerably good, and a fair amount of busi ness has been done at the full rates of last week. ROCHDALE, JAN. 12.—This is what is called the first, or new market. There has been a decided improvement in the demand for goods, which has induced manufacturers to ask higher prices, but they have not succeeded in obtaining them. Another manufacturer has stopped payment, whose liabilities are stated to amount to 15,0001. Others are talked of, but not yet made public. Wool is rather stiffer to-day, and somewhat better prices have been realised. LEEDS, JAN. 13.—Our markets in the new year do not present any new features. Light goods, such as tweeds, re main in pretty good demand; but the heavier descriptions of woollens, owing to the continued unusual mildness of the season, do not sell so briskly as they should do at this period of the year. Upon the whole, however, a rather better feel ing may be said to exist, from the fact that more has been doing in foreign wools these last fourteen days than for some months past ; and there is no doubt that this feeling .would be much strengthened by the setting in of more winterly weather. HUDDERSFIELD, JAN. 13.—Our market this d e a e y k p a ar f t a l i y r maintains the improved character of that of last w amount of goods having changed hands 1 The business in the warehouses is rather limited, ia. theCloatliethloluaglhL Ithere are buyers in town from a n of the most important houses in London and Glasgow.--lifchester Guardian. BIRMINGHAM The Committee of Management of this Company have effected an amalgamation with the Dudley, Madeley, Broscley, and Ironbridge Railway Company, on terms which are advantageous to the Share holders of both Companies. The liability of the Shareholders of this Company will be reduced from 501. Shares to Shares of 251., and Two Shares will be issued to the Shareholders of the Dudley and Madeley Company for Three of their Shares. By this arrangement the Capital and Parliamentary Deposit of 10 per cent., and the capital requisite for the entire scheme of this Company, including a line from Dudley to Madeley next year, will be secured. The reduction of the nominal amount of the Shares renders it ne cessary for the Shareholders of this Company to have their Scrip Certificates stamped. They are, therefore, requested to send them to the Company's Office for that purpose.

Parties who may elect to receive back their deposits, may at once receive 21. per share on account, and the balance as soon as the amount of the expenses incurred shall have been ascertained. Parties who may elect to take shares in the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham Company, may, in like manner, on depositing their scrip, obtain a letter of allotment for their proportionate number of shares therein, which letter will be forwarded to the original Shareholders of this Company immediately and to others so soon as the Di rectors shall be satisfied of the sufficiency of the applicants; and parties *ho shall fail to send in their scrip on or before SATURDAY, the 17th instant, will be considered as having elected to receive back their deposit less the expenses. In cases where the proportion of the Shrewsbury and Birming ham shares to be received shall amount to a fractional part of a share, the Shareholders will have the option of paying or receiving the difference in value between such proportion and an entire share. ......... Arrangements will be made and announced, as soon as possible, for procuring the signature of the Shareholders to such deeds as the altered circumstances of the Company have rendered necessary.

LAUNCH OF THE AMPHION FRIGATE OP THIRTY-SI - X.' GUNS. • WooLvrimr, JAR. 14.—This fine frigate was ordered to be built on the 16th of May, 1828, and to be named the Ambus= cade, but from some well-grounded objection to that name, it was altered to Amphion, by an Admiralty order of the 31st of March, 1831. The building of the vessel commenced on the 15th of April, 1830, and was carried on on the same lines as the Castor frigate, but she has since been lengthened six teen feet by the bow, and fitted in the stern for a screw pro peller as an auxiliary, every other part and filling being the same as a proper sailing frigate. She appears to be a sightly vessel, and sits well upon the water. Her figure-head is a bust of the late gallant Captain Sir William Hosts, Bart., and her stern is of a neat square form externally, but round internally, for fighting her guns, and to all appearance will be a fast sailer, and a good ship of war. The following are her dimensions : Feet. Inches. Length of the lower deck 177 ... " 0 Length of the keel for tonnage Breadth extreme Breadth for tonnage 42 ... 8 Breadth moulded • Burthen in tons, old measure, 1,473 66-94 Do. do. new Miss Psyche Hoste, daughter of the late Captain Sir William Hoste, was to have named the Amphion, but in consequence of that young lady's indisposition, the interest ing ceremony was performed by Miss Hawkins, niece of Admiral Sir James llawkins Whitshed, Bart., G.C.8., Ad miral of the Fleet. At a quarter before three o'clock, r.m., Miss Hawkins, ac companied, by the Gallant Admiral, and escorted by Com modore Sir Francis A. Collier, C.B. and K.C.H., Captain- Superintendent of the dockyard, entered the enclosed space surrounding the ship, and the master shipwright having pre sented Miss Hawkins with a glass of wine, she drank to the success of the Amphion, and the bottle, with the remainder of the wine, having been attached to the bows of the ship, was broken upon them. -The men then suspended their la bours in knocking out the dog shores, as the tide had not risen sufficiently high, and it was twenty minutes past three o'clock before the vessel was allowed to glide into the water, which she did in beautiful style amidst the cheers of the as sembled spectators, the band of the Royal Marines playing the national antheth. The company present was very nu merous, and the day particularly fine, and every person seemed gratified, as, owing to the hour of the launch being later than announced, none were disappointed of witnessing the interesting scene. The Amphion is to be taken on Monday next to the East India Docks, to be fitted with engines of 300-horse power, by Messrs. Miller and Ravensfortb, and will be the first con structed for the steam navy of this country with the whole of her machinery considerably under the water line, and conse quently not liable to be deranged by shot during warfare. The screw will be fifteen feet in diameter, on Ericson's prin ciple, attached to engines on the direct-action principle, in vented by Count de Rosen, with four feet stroke, performing of war Danish b y Ambassador, aid of t h se appliances.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR S I read with much interest the observations made by you, a few days back, on a letter published by Sir Charles Walsley. The case put by Sir Charles illustrates the posi tions in which the landowner and the land occupier are rela tively placed with respect to each other. This valourous prototype of the protectionists refers to the sale by his nephew, and the purchase by Earl Talbot, of the Tixall (Tick is all ?) estate. In this instance he states that the purchase money was 240,0001., and the rental 6,0001. a year, being, as Sir Charles states, barely 3 per cent. upon the investment. This transaction is put forward to prove the extreme modera tion of the landed proprietors, who, as the farmers' friends, claim protection and the maintenance of the corn-laws. It is, no doubt, put forward with a view to induce the public to believe, that these men are so devoid of all avaricious and grasping propensities, that out of pure and disinterested benevolence they are content to sacrifice private interest, and so prove themselves by deeds, as well as by words, the farmers' friends. They claim credit for philanthropy in in vesting capital in "dirty acres," which will barely yield them 3 per cent. ; whilst naughty Messrs. Cobden, Bright, and Co. are making " the deuce knows how much" per cent. upon the capital which they employ in trade and manufactures. If capital, when employed in trade, commerce, and manufactures, be capable of produc ing so much better interest than when invested in the purchase of land, how noble and generous must be the feel ings that prompted Earl Talbot to make such a sacrifice as to invest 240,0001. so very disadvantageously as in the purchase of the Tixall estate ! There is no law, that lam aware of, which could prevent Earl Talbot, Sir Charles Walsley, and his nephew, from laying out their capital in purchasing cot ton, establishing a manufactory, and setting up a calico shop in opposition to Messrs. Cobden, Bright, and Co, and so make "the deuce knows how much" per cent. upon the in vestment. The only doubt that could be well entertained as to the ultimate success of such a speculation in the hands of a firm so composed would be that brains, as well as brass, are required profitably to employ money in trade, commerce, and manufatures ; whereas, any golden calf, with just brains enough to keep him out of a lunatic asylum, and a modicum of sense just sufficient to retain an attorney, and to employ a land-valuer, may become the proprietor of a whole district of country, and assume aristocratic airs, pre serve . game, whip beggars, pound donkeys, represent an agricultural constituency, and, in futuretimes, become talked of by " the fifth transmitter of his foolish face," as the chivalrous and the pure-blooded founder of the ho nourable family of the Dillydoodles. The same observations ap ply with equal force to the cases of those who are land occupiers as to those who are employed in trade, commerce, and manufac tures. Any member of the Dillydoodle family may lay out 240,0001. in the purchase of land, and claim great credit as the farmers' friend for asking only 3 percent., or 6,0001. a year, as a return upon the investment, but where is that 8 per cent. to be found ? From what source the 6,000/. a year to be derived ?It requires brains as well as brass—it will take skill as well as capital annually to produce that amount. In this case the farmer and his labourers are the manufac turers. Supposing the Tixall estate to be 6,000, and sup posing it all to be in Mr. Cobden's occupation as an agricul turist—the capital required to stock and to cultivate it would, at the rate of 51. per acre, amount to 30,0001. Mr. Cobden, as the provider of that capital, would have to make, at the very lowest estimate, 15 per cent. before he could keep him self from actual loss.—(See Bayldon's "Art of Valuing Rents and Tillages," p. 478.) In addition to this 15 per cent., the farmer must manage by his skill, and with his comparatively limited capital of 30,0001. to pay, in the shape of rent, to Squire Dillydoodle, 3 per cent. upon 240,000/. Thus the farmer must make, to keep himself from actual loss, 35 per cent. upon his capital. Of this amount 20 per cent., or 6,000/., which is one-fifth of the capital employed, is paid over annually to some farmers' friend, the preserver of game, the whipper of beggars, the pounder of donkeys, and the representative of an agricul tural constituency, as a compensation for anxious thoughts endured, and sleepless nights passed, in devising the best, means to be adopted for keeping at home a few sheep - ski ns that had manifested a disposition to follow the fashion of their fellows, by creeping up the spout as most others in the neighbourhood had already done. A FRIEND TO FREE TRADE. Menai Bridge, Jan. 12th, 1846. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE 'BURLINGTON HOTEL. —Between two and three o'clock this morning the following fatal and dreadful accident occurred at the Burlington Hotel, Cork-street, Bond-street. William Adams, valet to Hud son, Esq., M.P., who is staying there, returned home in a state of extreme intoxication, and having ascended the stair-case to the third story, stumbled, and falling against the bannisters, overbalanced himself and fell down the well of the stair-case. He was taken up bleeding and insensible, and expired in a few minutes. His skull was dreadfully fractured, and one of his arms broken. PUGILISM. -- JOHNNY WALKER. AND LANE OF BIRMINGHAW.—WaIker attended at Broome's last night to go on with this match for 2001. aside. Lane's friends, how ever, were not forthcoming for so large an amount. It is whispered that they think a match with Forty Fox, of Manchester, now pending, would be a safer speculation: hence Walker's disappointment. 201. additional has been made good on Harry Broome and Terry's affair, and both men are actively preparing for the day. l c—The • THE LEAGUE MOVEMENTS OF THE urER i k g (Wednesday)wll be th e three great league events of the great meeting in Covent-garden Theatre will preside, and the spea k ers announced are the ge lion.

The Great West Riding dinner, in aid o f the quarter of a million league fund, will also take place this (Wednesday) evening, at Leeds; a programme of the pro ceedings at which will be found elsewhere. Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright are to address the meeting. To-morrow (Thurs day) evening, there will be a large gathering in the Free Trade fly so'clock c H I o a c l k l lastpro e b v a e b n l n n g o , e so o f the largest numerous had evbeerenktnhoewnap, applica tions, tions, there did not remain a single ticket for either the plat• form or the galleries, and very few for the body of the hall. That the demand should be so large at this unusually early period, shows that the interest of the public in the proceed ings of the League, so far from abating, is greatly increasing. The speakers announced are Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, and Mr. W. J. Fox; the two former fresh from the great York shire manifestation, and Mr. George Wilson, within 24 hours after presiding over a metropolitan assembly in Covent garden Theatre, will again occupy the chair at the Free Trade Hall. Thus, although there are no special topics of great importance, no announcement of what the Ministerial measure for the alteration or repeal of the corn-law will really be, there will be no lack of interest or of subjects, for each will have something cheering to tell of the spirit and liberality of these great assemblages in the cause of free trade. Next Tuesday,. we understand, there is to be a free trade meeting at Norwich, to promote the great fund and the qualification movement, and it is announced that it is to be addressed by Mr. Cobden. Mr. Wodehouse, M.P., we see, has intimated to the Protection Society, that if Mr. Cobden is there he will meet him ; and we shall look with some curiosity to ascertain whether the protection and monopoly advocate really does " show up" on the occasion.—Manchester Guar. Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re gistered Paletot to suit the ever-varied nature of our climate, forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua non of the railway traveller, but is equally so adapted for any gentleman taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease. Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also a general public favourite, being so peculiarly English, and avoiding all foreign extravagance of style.
