Yesterday a body of gentlemen representing the Bookselling Association of London and the provinces waited upon Lord Campbell, at Stratheden-house, Kensington, to confer with his Lordship and other gentlemen of literary distinction on the present posi tion of the bookselling trade. The deputation con sisted of Mr. W. Longman (the chairman of the Booksellers' Association), Mr. Murray, Mr. R. B. Seeley, Mr. J. H. Parker (Oxford), Mr. Pickeri ng , Mr. Deighton (Ltverpool), Mr. Simms (Manchester), Mr. Douglas (Edinburgh) ' Mr. J. J. Mill s , Mr. H. G. Bohn, Mr. Dalton,. Mr. Taylor, Mr. Beilby (Bir mingham), Mr. Rivuagton, and Mr. Sampson Low (secretary to the London Association). The Noble and Learned Lord, who was accompanied by the Dean of St. Paul's (the Very Rev. Dr. Millman) and Mr. George Grote, received the deputation with great courtesy. Lord CAMPIIELL observed, that he had been called upon to render his assistance in settling the important question which had arisen iu the bookselling trade, and he certainly should be very glad if, associated with such gentlemen as Dr. Milman, Mr. Grote, and others who might afterwards assist them, he could be of any service in arranging a matter of great im portance to the booksellers of this country, The cir cumstances under which they had met would be best explained by the following letter, which he had re ceived from Mr. Low, the secretary to the Book. sellers' Association : " 169, Fleet-street, April 8, 1852. "My Lord,—l am directed to inform your Lordship that the committee of the Booksellers' Association have this day met, and, impressed with the importance of giving serious consideration to the present position of the bookselling trade, they have instructed me to re quest your Lordship to permit a few of their body to 'have :theliptiour of conferring with your Lordship_ and such other literary gentlemen as it maybe agreeable to your Lordship should be present on the occasion. " I b• g to acquiint your- Lordship that Mr. William Longman, who took .the chair, informed the meeting that, having consulted Mr. Macaulay, he was encouraged to hope that your Lordship would not object to such a conference as the committee have the honour to request, and that Mr. Longman added that Mr. Macaulay sug gested it might be desirable that Lord Granville and Mr. Grote should be associated with your Lordship. To this view the meeting gave their cordial asient. " lam further directed to submit to. your Lordship's consideration the addition of Sir Bulwer Lytton, Sir W. Page Wood, and the. Dean of. St. Paul's, or the Rev. Canon Wordsworth. - " The committee would esteem it a favour if your Lordship would inform me whether this proposal meets your approbation, and, if so, whether your Lordship would wish me to take any steps to convene the meeting. " I have also to inform your Lordship that the fkillow ing resolution was proposed by the chairman, and was unanimously agreed to—vii. That a conference b e in vited bewteen Lord Campbell, in conjunction with a few of our principal authors, and certain members of the bookselling trade, .for the purpose of deciding whether the Booksellers' Association shall be carried on under its present regulations or not, it being understood that the decision of Lord Campbell and the other literary gen tlemen shall be binding on the committee, who agree, if the decision be adverse, to convene tho trade and resign their functions.' " ' . . He at once acceded to the suggestion, and he would have been most happy had the other gentlemen men tioned in Mr. Low's note been present to-day, but unfortunately Lord Granville was • prevented • from attending by ill health,. and neither Sir L. Bulwer Lytton nor Sir P. Wood were able to meet them. Having considered it. only right that on a question of this nature both sides should be heard, he had requested that Messrs. Bickers and Bush, Mr. Bentley, and other gentlemen who took an opposite view to the Booksel lers' Association should have notice of .this meeting, and be requested to attend. He, had received, in reply to that invitation, a letter from Mr. Chapman, com plaining that longer notice of the meeting had not been given him. He (Lord Campbell) regretted that there should be any ground for such a complaint, but he did not know that, under the circumstances, longer notice could well have been given. He had also received a letter from Messrs. Bickers and Bush in reply to the invitation addressed to them, stating that they felt that upon this question compro mise was impossible ; that the inevitable tendency of the age was to open an - unlimited free trade; and that they felt assured no other arrangement would or could be final. They added that a letter from them appeared in the Times of that (Wednesday) morning, explaining their view of the case. He (Lord Camp bell) could only say for himself and the gentlemen by whom he was assisted, that they had not formed any opinion upon the question at issue, but that they desired that the most ample opportunities should be afforded to all parties who took an interest in it to lay before them any statements, or to adduce any evidence bearing on •the matter. Dr. Milman and Mr. Grote expressed their concur rence in the observations of the Noble Lord. Mr. LONGMAN then proceeded at considerable length to explain the objects of the Booksellers' Asso ciation, and the questions in dispute between that association and a portion of the bookselling trade, termed " undersellers." The managers and members of the association were, he said, most anxious to afford to the gentlemen who had consented to act as arbitrators or juiges in this matter the fullest information, and the most ample means of arriving at a just conclusion. He was deeply sensible of the heavy responsibility which he incurred in undertaking to open this question, but he was fortunately supported by a large body of gen tlemen connected with all branches of the trade, not only in London, but in Scotlaad, in Manchester, in Birmingham, and in other provincial towns, who would be able to afford information on any points with which they were more familiar than himself. lie had firmly made up his mind that he would not notice any letters, or statements, or articles which had appeared in print; otherwise, ha must say, he would have felt inclined to give an indignant denial to a great deal that had been published. The prin cipal object of the Booksellers ASSOCiStIOII was to prevent those who received the privileges of the trade on certain implied conditions from enjoying those privileges without fulfilling the conditions. The main privilege was that of receiving a certain discount from the retail price, and the condition on which the privilege was granted was that the retail price should be observed. The retail bookseller, on buying from the publisher, received a certain agreed allowance, on the supposition that he was to obtain a certain profit. Occasionally the retail price of a book was reduced, but the practice of the trade in such a case was to go round and " call in " the books from those retailers who had bought them, and afterwards to sup ply to the retailers. either the new editions or the same books at a reduced price„ so that a fresh contract was made between the pub lisher and the- retail bookseller. lie believed that the trade was conducted on these principles up to 1812. The case of Mr. Lackington had been men tioned as that of the first underseller. Now, it was extremely difficult to ascertain precisely upon what principles trade was conducted some 70 or 80 years ago, but he (Mr. Longman) was convinced, from Mr. Lackington's Life, that his system of underselling was totally different .from that of .the present day. Mr. Lackington's system was one which was exten sively practised at this time, and which met with the approbation of the publishers. Mr. Lackington was the Bohn of former days, and Mr. Bohn was the Lackington of the present day. Mr. Lackington bought " remainders," the copies of unsuccessful books which remained on the publishers' hands, and sold them at a reduced price. Who were the first underseliers he did not know, but the first book sellers' association of which he could. find any notice was set on foot by the retail booksellers in 1812. It was important, in passing, to observe that these associations had all been established by the retail booksellers, and the publishers and whole sale - booksellers had considered it their interest to support such associations. About 1828 the association was remodelled, and it was just pre viously to that time that the present system of underselling arose. It was his firm conviction that the interests of publishers and authors in this ques tion were entirelyidentical, and that what was for their interest was also for the interest of literature in ge neral. He thought the fact that the present system was for the - benefit of the booksellers was shown by the enormously preponderating majority of booksellers country, who were in favour of the regulations. The present forded tiAogenlin Booksellers' Association, which was established at a publicmeet h in ad g of the 7 b a e d e e n in fo l r B , lB, was a revivifica tion of the association of 1828, and many similar as sociationsmed throughout the He considered that the peculiarities of the book were at all "ellin trade , which differed from all others, af tions. ground for supporting such associa d_.not think that free-trade principles class of ppairie.able to the bookselling trade. The opinion, approached si w llr patentedtbst of those in which booksellers in Avvrt.iFles. The bookselling trade fixing a retail price, and n I n ch there was a possibility of d w e a a s l t t , h: 'a o s nly on , identification of there was complete advisable to buy many articles—as, for instance , were not j udge& of confidence , because persons who . . such articles m .

I , a purchaser ' wanted Lord C a mpbell ' s ~ Lives of th e Chief Jus had goods and bats— tices," he could not be put off with the late Mr. Townsend's " Lives of the Judges." If Mr. Grote's " History of Greece" was asked for, Bishop Thirl wall's could not be substituted. This gave the power of fixing a retail price, and, as those who dealt in such articles must have a profit, it was necessary that a certain agreed allow ,ace or discount should be given to the trade. It had been suggested that books should be published without a retail price, but he thought that would be throwing away one of the great and peculiar advantages of the trade, and instead of removing the existing evils, would aggravate them materially. Books would then be sold at one price in one street, and at another price in another ; the public would have no confidence that the right value was put upon them anywhere, and the whole trade would be thrown into con f us i on. Another pecu li ar ity of the trade was, that th e a ll owance wh i c h was m ade to booksellers became kn own to the publ i c. H e m i g ht so far deviate fromhis int ent i on of not not i c i ng any thing that had appeared in the public prints on this sub ject as to observe that a letter in thatday's Times stated the allowance to the retail bookseller to be 33 per cent. The writer of that letter further stated that the retail booksellers did not speculate.' But if they did not speculate they could not get that allowance —they would only receive 25 per cent. The writers went on to say that retail booksellers were surely the best judges of the scale of profits which would enable them to carry on their business. That was exactly what the Booksellers' Association said. The retail book sellers, as a body, came to them and said, " Our pre sent profit is not too high ; we ask you to maintain it ;" and on that point he agreed with Messrs. Bickers and Bush. The public seemed b entertain a false impression that the profit of the retail booksellers was larger than that of other trade. ,The fact was, how ever, and his statement could t'a t- y be confirmed, the allowances for profits in oth e r trades were infinitely greater than in the , books e lli ng t ra d e . From 40, 50, and 60, to 100, or even more than 100 per ti cent., were no unfroquent profits in other trades, but it. Now, from the facts of having a fixed retail price, of complete identification , and of the necessity of an the public had no means of knowing anything about agreed and admitted allowance to the bookselling trade, arose a power of competition which did not exist in any other trade. It was very easy for a bookseller who wished to undersell to advertise that he would take off 10, or 15, or 20 per cent., and the public had ample means of knowing that they got such a reduction ; while a haberdasher, a hatter, or a glover, might advertise his goods at a reduction of 20 per cent., but the public had no means of knowing that such a reduction was really made. A power of competition, as he had said, existed in the bookselling trade which did not exist in any other trade, and, if the power of repress ing that competition should be taken away, a wild system of underselling would arise such as had never seen ng ni instead d c country ntr in any trade whatever. beingUn the excepti on , and there upon, perhaps, profitable, would be the rule, and beende r s e lli thereupon, he believed, the ruin of the whole trade. He believed that the result of doing away with this power of repression would be the concentration of the trade in the hands of a few large monopolist re tail dealers, to the injury of literature, the incon venience of the public, and the ruin of hundreds of booksellers from the Land's-end to John o'Groat's house. The effect would be that the stock of country booksellers, except in very few instances, would be confined to small, low-priced, and probably not very valuable publications. He believed the change would tell especially upon the productions of new authors, and that the interests of literature would in conse quence suffer most materially. A new author had difficulties enough to contend with already, but he was satisfied that the abandonment of the power of repressing undue competition would increase them tenfold. He regarded the retail booksellers as a body of men who rendered essential service in promoting the progress of education and the extension of litera ture throughout the country, and he hoped the Noble Lord and his colleagues would, on consideration, arrive at the conclusion that, if the plan of throwing the trade open should destroy such a class, the small and temporary advantage which might be reaped by the public would be purchased at too dear a price. Mr. MURRAY observed that he was satisfied it would be found impossible to carry on business upon the pretended profits of the undersellers. The same underselling had prevailed in other businesses, and had been found to be ruinous. To show that the plan adopted by the Booksellers' Association was carried out by other trades, he might mention that he had in his possession a circular from a firm in the neighbourhood of Manchester, who were manufac turers of muslins, stating that they dealt with no customer who did not sign a paper engaging, under the penalty of a fine, not to sell under certain prices. The same principle was acted upon by a great house in the oil trade ; and he was informed that Messrs. Strutt and Evans, of Derby, who manufactured a particular kind of thread, would only supply it to dealers on condition that it should be sold at a parti cular price. It had been urged against the book sellers that their system was an infraction of free• trade principles ; but he had the positive assurance that when Mr. Cobden was in business for himself he never allowed his nauslins to be undersold. He had been informed also that Mr. Bright, who was manu facturing a new description of carpets, would deal only with those persons who would engage not to sell them at a depreciated price.—(A laugh.) He might ob serve, also, that barristers and physicians had fixed the amount of their fees, and would not receive less than a certain sum. The effect of the change which certain persons were endeavouring to effect in the bookselling trade would be this, that though there might be no diminution in the number of standard books, by authors uf name, that would be published, books by unknown authors would scarcely be re ceived. The result of an alteration in the present sys tem would be that ho must reduce very much the number of books he published ; for he certainly would not trust undersellers, because he did not believe their profits were such as to keep their heads above water. had b Mr. DOUGLAS, of Edinburgh, stated that the sys , were e underselling re ado p adopted but a meeting of the trade ee w n d for repressing the practice, and establishedaa held, at whichin that ci city, regu lationsternof those rules were subset . booksellers and publishers • d to by 173 out of 175 Mr. Low, in reply t : in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Mr. PICKERING briefly expressed his approval of the objects of the association. Mr. PARKER observed that the booksellers of Ox ford were unanimously in favour of t he present re u- lations. In reply to ques tions from Lord Campbell, he stated that in Germany the usual t rade allowanc was about one-third of th e retail p rice, all new books being sent by the publishers on sale or return, and i that regulations existed a g ainst un dersell un derselling. In France no system at all existed, but the allowance to booksellers varied from 5 t o 50 per cent. T were in Paris no wholsesa le boo ksellers, and i e f re person wanted a dozen or„tw ent y boo ks he had to a for them to nearly es many different b ooksellers. go Mr. BORN confirmed the statements of Mr. Parker with regard to the foreign trade, and expressed his hope that the system of underselling, which led to perpetual mLondon iaunderstanding s betwee n the booksell ers an d the country retailers, and between both parties and their c ustomer!, would be put down.

Mr. SEELEY expressed his conviction, from personal knowledge, that the gentlemen who managed thc? Booksellers' Association had been actuated solely by regard for the interests of the trade, of the public, and of literature generally. After referring at length to some of the statements in the letter of Messrs. Bickers and Bush, he observed that if the Noble Lord and his associates should, upon consideration, be of opinion that the Booksellers' Association were right, they would succeed in their object—that of maintaining peace, and law, and order in the trade. On the other hand, if the Noble Lord and the gentlemen by whom he was assisted decided that the Booksellers' Associa- tion were wrong, the end would be chaos, confusion, and disorder. Mr. MILES entered into some details with reference to the position of houses in the bookselling trade (with one of which he is himself connected), whose business consists exclusively in acting as " middlemen" between the great London publishers and the coun try retail booksellers, their dealings being thus con fined entirely to the trade. He showed the large ex penses which were necessarily incurred in conducting such establishments, in consequence, especially, o f th e vast increase of cheap periodical literature ; and con tended that, even with the present rate of trade allow ances, the profits realized by such houses were not excessive—not amounting on an average to more than about 4 per cent. Mr. LONGMAN then said he thought the state ments of the gentlemen who had expressed their opinions tended to show that the present amount of thereA As the was re greatresult lt of f scope t e r- system,s 1 jt very how east. eve allowances was not too large. As long as they had for underselling, the peculiarities of the trade ren atheeripnr:suelin: underselling, he feared that a competition might arise which would destroy the retail booksellers; and he, and the gentlemen by whom he was surrounded, were of opinion that if the retail trade were concen trated in the hands of a few large monopolists, great injury would result to literature, to the trade, and toi the public. The main question was, whether the; change suggested by the opponents of the Booksel-: lers' Association would injure the retail booksellers' or not. Hie opinion was that the competition that would arise would destroy them. Then, if a repres sive system was necessary, it must be a coercive one. Mr. Alecaulay had said to his brothee...._ , If you think that Mr. Bickers or anybody else injures you, or in jures my book, by selling it at and under price, by all, means have no dealings with them." Now that seemed perfectly sound advice, but, unfortunately, it would not accomplish the proposed end, un l ess they had a coercive system. Mr. Milee, or Mr. Bohn, or a hundred other gentlemen, could supply Mr. Macaulay's book to Mr. Bickers or any one else. It was necessary, therefore, that the trade should come to some arrangement among themselves, but that would be useless unless a penalty was imposed for an infraction of the regulations. He believed that if unrestricted competition took place hundreds of retail booksellers would be ruined. Mr. Bohn said the other day—" If Mr. Bickers can sell at .5 per cent. profit, I can sell at one," and he feared the trade might be driven to act upon some system of that kind. He believed they would fight until they reduced their profits to the lowest possible ebb—to a percent age which would not pay them ; and then the present system would be re-established by an engagement among themselves not to sell under certain prices. After some desultory conversation with regard to the bookselling trade in America, Lord CAmpueLL said the case had been very ably argued on the part of the association ; but, although a great deal of valuable information had been afforded on the subject, he and his friends, Dr. Milman and Mr. Grote, were not at present in a situation to ex press an opinion upon the question. He thought the great desideratum was that they should hear the other side, for in his opinion they ought to act upon the maxim, " Audi alteram partem." Even if he were convinced by the arguments he had heard in favour of the association, he would like to hear the other aide, who might convert him.—(A. laugh.) Lord Eldon never would decide any cause, however clear it might be, without hearing the side against whicn he was inclined. He (Lord Campbell) must say that his mind was quite unbiassed on this question, until he had a farther opportunity of infor mation and discussion, but he thought it desirable that they should bear the arguments of those who took a different view of the question, without its being expected that those parties should he bound by any opinion which he or his friends Mr. Grote and Dr. Milman might express. If Mr. Bickers, Mr. Bentley, Mr. Chapman, or any other gentleman wi:hed to he heard, he would be most happy to meet them, with out expecting them to say that they would change their mode of dealing in conformity with any opinion expressed by himself or his friends. After some conversation it was arranged that if any of the " undersellers" desired to argue the case against the association, Lord Campbell, the Dean of St. Paul's, Mr. Grote, and probably other literary gen tlemen, would be prepared to hear their statements, between the 16th and 21st of May. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The following important, correspondence between the First Commissioner of Works and Messrs. Fox and Henderson was yesterday laid .before a meeting of the General Committee for the Preservation of the Building, and has the effect of not only putting a stop to the promenade announced for Saturday, but also of finally closing the building to the public : "Office of Works, &c., April 13, 1852. " Gentlemen.—l am directed by the First Commis sioner of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings to acquaint you that his Lordship has received a letter from the Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851, inform. ing him thrt they have been always anxious to fulfil to the utmost their engagements to the Crown, and that for that purpose they had given notice for the removal of the building in Hyde-park on or before the Ist of June next; that they have given no approval or sanction to any proceedings likely to cause delay, or to the appro priation of the building to purposes not contemplated in their charter; that they had also communicated to you the announcement contained in my letter of the 26th ult., that the Chief Commissioner of Works could not in any way countenance the appropriation of the building to any purposes other than those specified in the royal warrant of the 26th of September, 1850. " The Chief Commissioner, however, regrets to find that, notwithstanding the intimations thus conveyed to you, the building has been used by you for the purpose of public promenades and concerts; that you have taken money for admissions thereto; that by means of adver tisements in the public papers, and otnerwise, you have induced a concourse of persons to assemble in the build ing, in the park, and in the neighbouring thoroughfares; and that such assemblages have been injurious to the park, detrimental to the property in its immediate neigh bourhood, and otherwise prejudicial to the peace and quiet of the vicinity. " Under these circumstances, his Lordship feels it in cumbent upon him, under the advice of the It officers of the Crown, to take measures for preventing the fur ther misappropriation of the building; but, before doing so, ho thinks it right to make you acquainted with his intentions, in the hope that, upon the receipt of this communication, you will see the propriety of forthwith abstaining from your present course of proceeding. In the event, however, of your persisting in the application of the building to its present objectionable uses, or to any purpose other than those specifically mentioned in the Royal warrant, the assistance of a court of compe tent jurisdiction will be sought to restrain you and all other persons from a perseverance in that course, and from proceeding otherwise than boni fide for the pur pose of taking down and removing the building with the materials and contents, in accordance with the terms therein set forth.

Another document of interest read before the General Committee, and unanimously adopted by them, is the subjoined report of their sub-committee, and which they submit to the consideration of the public : " At a meeting of the General Committee, held at the Crystal Palace yesterday, the following was read and unanimously adopted:— 'Repo rt of the Sub Committee to the General Committee appointed to secure the Preservation of the Crystal Palace, and submitted by the Com- matte() for the consideration of the Public. "' A great question must very shortly be decided, viz., whether the Crystal Palace is to be preserved or destroyed. The object of this statement is to establish the advantages of retaining this building, and of apply ing it on self-supporting principles to the public pur poses, combining the instruction and recreation of the people with the promotion of the arts, sciences, and ma ,onfacturee. • Not only will a great sacrifice of public property be thus avoided, but a lasting benefit will be conferred upon the nation at large. Two principal difficulties have existed in the public mind on the question of preserving the building. The first is the supposition, that if retained it must be at the public expense, as private subscriptions would obviously prove inadequate for an object of such magnitude. The size of the building and the necessary cost of maintain ing, requiring, aad rendering it permanently greatly magnify this objection, which exists in the minds of many persons sincerely desirous, on other grounds, that the building should be preserved. The second objection is that the non-removal would amount to a breach of faith with, and would be a hardship upon, the owners of property in the neighbourhood. It is necessary to meet both these objections. , • '...ttat•iivropoeed that the building-be -vested by .4.8`0f Parliament in trustees, who shall have powers of faun it under certain conditions specified in the Act. It is tilso proposed that the trustees shall be so selected as to give the country at large the highest guarantee that station can afford that the building shall be appropriated to no purposes unworthy of the beautiful site upon which it has been erected, or of the associations of the Great Exhibition. _ -6 : 7 Taing it for granted that the first, difficulty ex isting in the public mind may be overcome as now sug gested, it is proposed to meet the second by buying up all the house property in the neighbourhood said to be injured, and for this purpose, as well as for all ot her sources of outlay connected with the building, suffic ient capital will be provided under the terms of the lease to be granted by the trustees. "' Three modes of appropriating the Crystal Palace may be at present specified with su ffi cient distinctness to .show how it is intended to combine to instruction and recreation of the people with the advancement of the arts, sciences, and manufactures. " In the first place, a portion. of the space may be allotted.to a Winter Garden, embellished with fountains, statuary, geological specimens and a .great variety of other interesting objects. " Another portion might be a pp ropr i a t e d f or th e re ception of new i nventions , and a , ' tr a d e co ll ec ti on ,' i n illustfation of the commerce of the country. • " Lastly, the building might contain a gallery of de sign, for the promotion of taste among manufacturers and the public; and lecture-rooms and museums, which would relieve the already overcrowd e d state of many of our greatest scientific institutions. " It is not extravagant to expect that a sufficient sum will be realised to effect the redemption of the building in a very short . period. The receipts will be applied first in providing for the maintenance and repair of the building, then in paying interest on the capital ex pended by the lessees, and the surplus partly in adding to the works of art, and other objects of attraction which the institution will contain, but the greater part in form ing a sinking fund for the purchase of the building by the trustees for the nation. " No more is asked for, in carrying oat this plan for the preservation of the Crystal,Palace, than has already been conceded to the Zoological and Botanical Societies in the Regent's Park. " The self-supporting principle upon which it is pro posed to effect the preservation of the Palace is the same as that upon which the Great Exhibition was so success fully carried out; no better proof can be given of the confidence felt in the soundness of that principle than by mentioning the fact that some of the first capitalists in the country are prepared to guarantee the funds required upon the basis of this statement, and to submit their guarantee to her Majesty's Government. "`lt is believed that an object worthy of the energy and intelligence of the British nation is now within their reach. A building has never before existed, And, if the Crystal Palace is removed, probably never will exist, in our times, affording such facilities for the moral and in tellectual improvement of all classes of the community. The illustration of nature and the history and progress of , .art can hero be fully presented under all the advan tages which ample space and light adapted to every re quirement of the subjects can afford. It cannot be be lieved that the people of this country will allow such an opportunity to be thrown away, and this statement i.. submitted with the view of rousing them, before it is too late, to a decided expression of opinion, which alone is wanting to beCilre to them a palace worthy of the me tropolis of the first nation of the world, and a most appropriate and lasting me morial of the Great Exhi• bitten. " ‘JOSEPH PAXTON, Chairman." FREE TRADE. (From the Times.) It is difficult to keep pace with the daily increasing crowd of adhesions to the necessity, if not to the wisdom and justice of free. trade. Like Nelson re ceiving the swords of his vanquished antagonists, and passing them by handfuls to the sailor at his side, free trade may now throw capitulations by the dozen into the waste-paper basket. As usually happens when there is plenty of a thing, there is something to desiderate in quality, and we regret to say that we have not yet had the fortune to meet with an avowal so frank, so entire, so unreserved, and altogether so becoming, that it may be safely recommended to con verts in want of a model. Here we have a surrender before us made by a distinguished man—Mr. Adder ley, Member for North Staffordshire, and candidate once more for that constituency. It must be con sidered full enough for most practical purposes, seeing that the Hon. Member repeats what he said to the people of Burton early last recess, that Protection has " become, whether rightly or wrongly, so odious in the eyes of the general body of the nation, that it would be unwise to accept it any longer, even if it could be obtained." Mr. Adderley having thus determined not to accept Protection, .even if it were offered him, has of course given up that reference to the " well understood and clearly ex . pressed opinion of the intelligent classes," _w_ith which so many brother Protectionists are satisfyinats the demands of a false shame. After observinA.tht ....., Some say it is necessary to postpone the decision l to the of this opinion till the approaching appeal to country has more clearly tested the na w ti a o i I pert, I cons Mr. Adderley proceeds,—" For my o amply tested. eider that the national feeling is alread y is avowed the I believe that-the earlier thi h s de s c u ls e i stion being need f a t he - landed gentry after better, and I deprecate sac Then l ianet d:d eit g h e e n r tr l y it , u h e e n sa o y r says, b e itpert righto be m o:e i t r y s ,fo whether h a e c t q h u:i r e s cteh_necy.eaa ask the le ss l n y a national tefedeloinhgt,hhe known." The reasons exceedingly good. g thin t all in the nature provoke just the same . a little or much; they we ll they Will not obtain a hearing for other but, as long as they as • kany t 4 a his I t is important to add, that of Protection, views On the subject "to and more attainable demand s, and they will lose the l ti as r t . chan the main coincide in' with the opinions held by Lord d certainly prevalent his Derby t au among party." But as there no saving clause, no lingering glance n Adderleycof redress. supposes ,:, hesitation of the step, as the painful renunciation is delivered? There is, slight though it be. Mr. Ad derley still seems to think •it possible that at some future day, under some new phase of British charac ter, some change of circumstances, .not to say some new condition of existence, the industrious people of this country may mend a tax on al Spontaneously fd and imperiously de the arrival f oo d , and . may_ . tumultuously pre vent of foreign supplies. Such . a_ dream . certainly must have flitted through the writer's ima gination when . he says, "At all events, until the na tion changes its mind on the subject, and ceases to retain its present repugnance to protective duties, I, for one, will not seek that kind of boon to a suffering class of the community, which would only more within well clothed, blooming, playfal, wend and deeply injure them." Till the nation changes it mind on the subject 1 If it is scarcely possible to" imagine a morbid appetite for a scarcity on the part on hun gary men, it is still less possible to conceive any cir cumstance at all likely to bring about so strange a delusion. It is not the custom of labour to bn as , ce.tic in the article of food, nor do men in the receipt of daily wages often want their little pittance to go as short a way as possible. Go to any of our manufacturing towns, first, second, or third rate, and ask whether wheat at 423. is or not conducive to the prosperity of the operatives. Why do you see street after street, nay, whole suburbs, rise up as by magic from the green sward, from the stubble of last year's harvest, from the hill side, from the heathery skirts of the moor, under the very shade of the ancient oaks? Why do you see cottsges run up for labour ing men with a comfort and elegance unknown to the last generation; with good drainage, and pure wa!_r , abundant and almost free? Why are there lbs: . l ;' 9 g , plants and worked muslin blinds in all the sv;, an n ies new furniture in every room, and the yowl , happy ? Why is it that they who hoe iv ( r ) noted what they saw for perhaps half a century, G I and who have witnessed many a sudden gush of prosperity, are new as surprised at what they see as if the,like had never been seen before ? It is because everythi ng is abundant and cheap, and yet wage*keciii, K up and labour bas its due. It is because bread is uh-t- • ( 7 ',' taxed ; because`all kinds of food, if not wholly free,- are at least little taxed ; it is because bricks are un taxed, and timber .owing to the reduction of the duties, costs two-thirds, in some instances less than half, its former price; it is because coal cheap, metals are cheap, and all the material• of industry is free. Hence it is that our hard-working popu lation facility and every inducement to labou have r,to.settle, every to be hou se h o lde rs , to surround a themselves with comforts, and maintain a decent state. How far they will generally stand the trials of prosperity, which, certainly has its trit i ts, is a question for them to consider very gravely ; but it is not a question for the - nation to decide by starving the poor man for the safety of his soul. Though the surrender, then, is as total ass it is reasonable to require, Mr. Adderley still retains his - abstract love of Protection, his tender recollections of its benign influence, and his fond anticipations of itq possible, though distant revival. He tells us he be lt not in the slightest degree abandoned his opinion that the agricultural interest had a right to pr4tective duties, as an equivalent for their extra share in the national burdens. Till the nation undergoes the above mentioned change of opinion as to the wisdom of a duty on corn, he demands from a country proverbial for its love of fair play, that a class which is now dis playing so much tardy and superfluous generosity snail be relieved from those burdens which, as he says, are now wholly uncompensated. On this point we only, wish that he had spoken with a particularity and ex actness which promised success, if not in obtaining, actual relief, at least in telling us what ought to be' done. Strongly as we feel that many agriculturists have suffered by the change, and are now more bur dened than they would have been but for the theory' of a protected agriculture, we wholly despair of hit ting the exact remedy which is to relieve the ease of the sufferers without either injury to one class or wasteful generosity to another. In justice to Mr: Adderley, it ought to be stated that he most empha tically.deprecates any measures of relief which shall have the power, if not the form, of Protection. Nay; in so doing, he makes a curious admission, which cienty-disqualifl es hi m f rom - ag it a ti ng PrOtiainui ever . ' la- 'that far distant day when a ippentgit and self" Whit* r even other mode there may be;' he says, " for an adjustment of unequal taxation, it appears to me that those at least must be abandoned whie)? have the tendency in any degree (and the less that degree the less reason for adhering to' them) to raise the price of food." According to Mr. Adder. ley, therefore, protective measures are only beneficial so far as they raise the price of the protected article; and the less nuisance they are to the people, the les, are they worth the odium of stickling for them. So the working man's bane is the landlord's weal. Of course this has often been alleged, but not hitherto by county members. They have usually tried to make out that it was possible to fill the pocket of the andowner without the least interference with that of the working man ; nay, with benefit to it, rather than otherwise. •Mr. Adderley, overflowing with candour, and carried along by the tide of political transition, has confessed the honest truth, as stated by Mr. Sid.. ney Herbert, that the corn laws were nothing but .a system of out-door relief for the benefit of the land owner. AMERICAN N E WS. [A. summary of the following, appeared in our im pression of yesterday.] LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14. By the Royal Mail ' steam ship Niagara, Stone commander, we have received advices from New York to the 30th ult., and Boston to the 31st. She brings 13,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Niagara left the Boston wharf at 7 A.M. on the 31st, and anchored in Nantucket Roads shortly after 8 A.M. to await the arrival of the mails. At 12.30 P.m. she received the mails, and at 1 F.M. she set on full speed. She arrived at Halifax at 8.10 A.M. on the 2d inst., and left again at 9.40 A.M., since which time she has experienced variable and head winds, with a heavy cross sea. She made Cape Clear at 7.30 A.M. on- the 12th, Holyhead at 3.30 P.M. yesterday, and arrived in the Mersey at a quarter past nine o'clock last evening, her run having occupied upwards of 13 days mean steaming time. The Niagara passed the Canada, with the mails of the 20th ult. from Liverpool, at 1.30 P.M. on the 31st, going into Boston ; on the Bth, at 5.30 A.m., she passed the Royal Mail steam ship America, with the mails of the 3d inst. for Boston ; and on the 10th, at 6 A.M., she passed the United States' Mail steam-ship Arctic, with the mails of the 7th inst. from Liverpool, for New York. The Royal Mail steam-ship Europa, Lott com mander, with the mails of the lath ult., from Liver pool, arrived at New York on the 25th. The Crescent City arrived at New York on the 30'h ult with a million and a half in gold dust, and advices from San Francisco to the 2d ult. From the very brief accounts received we learn that the town of Downieville had been totally destroyed by fire. Our miscellaneous advices mention that a public meeting had been held in Philadelphia to resist the removal of the Mint from that city. Defalcations to the extent of 73,000 dolls. had been discovered in the Suffolk Rink at Boston. Tne military at Lochpost had been called Out to quell a disturbance among the Irish. A general fight had taken place, in which firearms were used. The riot was occa sioned by one party striking for higher wages and ettemptiug to drive off those who remained at work. The reported murder of seven emigrants in Dod dridge county proved to be a hoax. M. Kossuth arrived at New Orleans on the 27th ult. There were no preparations made for his reception and but little excitement was manifested. Eight persona had been killed and a number injured by a steam boat explosion on the Mississippi The navigation of lakes Ontario, Erie, and the rivers Hudson and Delaware was open. Nearly 500,000 dollars worth of property had been destroyed by fire at Philadel phia. A large fire had occurred at Boston, by which the Fremont Temple was burnt down, w i t h the whole of its valuable contents. The following telegraphic communication has been received from Boston : " lialtfax papers to the 261.6 inst., received here, men. tinn that Messrs. Howe and Fullerton (Liberals) had been returned to Parliament from Cumberland county by about 250 maturity. This was considered a great ovgerrenaotr military Government triumph. .. Th e timers! of tho late Lieutenant-7h wus t o take place on the 27th with pomcpnadian C ana dian letters mention th e prevalence of a rumour to the effect that the Earl of Elgin had sent in his resignation.

I was in the water about five hours, as the shore was so rocky, and the surf ran so high, that a great many were lost trying to land. Nearly all those that took to the water without their clothes on were taken by sharks; hundreds of them were all round us, and I saw men taken by them quite close to me, but as I was dressed (having on a flannel shirt and trousers) they preferred the others. I was not in the least hurt, and am happy to say kept my head clear; most of the officers lost their lives from losing their presence of mind, and tr)ing to take money with them, and from not throwing off their coats. There was no time to get the paddle box boats down, and a great many more might have been saved, but the boats that were got down deserted us and went off. From the time she struck to when she went down was twenty minutes. When I landed I found an officer of the 12th Lancers, who had swam off with a life-preserver, and fourteen men, who had got on with bits of wood like myself. We walked up the country eleven miles to a farm belonging to Captain Smales, formerly of the 7th Dragoon Guards, who was very kind to us, and ell the men that were got on shore came up to him.
