The accounts received from Liverpool this morning give on ne S f dlast:— of the state of the Cotton Market there " There have been sold to-day about .5,000 bales of Cotton, including 1,000 bales on speculation. There is no change in Saturday following r prices." We regret to learn that the Bencool en h as b een totally lost near Liverpool. The following has just been posted at the North and South American Coffee-house upon this melancholy subject : " The undersigned, George Gray, seaman on board the barque Bencoolen. from Caen, gives the following account: "The Bencoolen passed Holyhead about five o'clock on the morning of the 7th inst.. and at eight. o'clock got a pilot on board, and proceeded with the wind at W. to W.N.W. towards the Victoria Charnel. Hove-to from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the ship proceeded, and passed over the Victoria Bar at about half past six o'clock, the pilot being on deck from 3 p.M. until she struck on Taylor's Bank about half an hour after she pas,ed the Bell buoy. When the vessel struck, the quarter-boat was immediately lowered, by order of the pilot, as a means of SAfety in case the vessel should go to pieces, and into which five of the seamen, and three apprentices got, leaving eleven in. number, in cluding the master and the pilot, on board—the sea at the time making a heavy breach over the ship, when the boat carried away a three-and-a-half inch line. The boats even attempted to regain he vessel, but the boat hav ing twice filled, the crew determined on making the best of their way for the shore, the vessel at the time, from the effect of her striking en the bank, was apparently breaking up. The boat's crew land e d a t Prince's Dock Basin abou' half-past nine P.M. (Signed) "GEORGE GRAY. " P.S. Three steamers and the Liverpool life-boat were immediately dispatched, but on reaching the spot where the vessel struck little of the wreck could be seen, and it is sup posed that evrry soul on board has perished." The arrival of the Trent West India mail steamer has been announced at the Jamaica Coffee-house. She reached Southampton Water at nine o'clock this morning. The letters and papers brought by her will probably reach town this afternoon. The very general topic of conversation in the City this morning is the turn the discussion will take in the House of Commons upon the important topics contained in the pro jected changes in the corn-laws and the tariff. The impres sion is that Government will have a good majority. It is thought here that the debate will last eight or ten days at least. A very firm market has prevailed for all the British Secu rities to-day, and prices have advanced. Cons.Jls for Money and the Account have advanced full N per cent. on the closing value of Saturday afternoon. Both have reached 97N ; the latter are now % lower, as some realising has been going on. Exchequer-bills have commanded 41s. premium. Bank Stock has reached 209. The Reduced Three per Cents. 97?' and the Three-and- a -Q uar t er p er Cents., 100 q. /; 4 ' Ihe market for the Mexican Bonds has improved also. A good remittance is expected by the Trent steamer, for the Mexican Dividend Fund, and the Bonds have touched 31. They are now a shade lower. Brazilian have improved to 2314 ; the French Three per Cents. to 83f. 75c.; and the Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. to 604 3 1 0 The Share Market has shown great firmness this morning.

The Committee met again at twelve o'clock this day, Mr• Strutt, Chnirmau. h • proceedings commenced by taking the adjourned case of the MORTIS STAPPORT: MIME (POTTERIES) BERXS AND MINTS (HuNcizaroan EXTENSION) RAILWAY. Thefe were petitions against this Bill from the owners of the land through which the line was to pass, stating that due notice had not been given in the London Gazette. The Com mit tee resolved not to enter on the petitions to-day, and adjourned, at four o'clock, till twelve o'clock to-morrow. Sub-Committee No. 3. The members of this Committee resumed their sitting al the usual hour this morning, Mr. Aglionby in the chair. NORTH HmaTxsen ERANCHES This was a petition from the North British Railway Com pany, praying for leave to bring in Bills to enable them t• construct a number of branches, and other works, on their main line. Th North British Railway commences at Berwick-on- Tweed, and terminates in a junction with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, at Edinburgh. It is 62 miles in length, and has a branch to lladdington, in the county of that name, and a branch to Fisherrow ; and the line, it is expected, will be opened fortraffic in about three months. The same Company are the proprietors, by purchase, of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway. - The present Bill was for making four brandies, and alter ing and deviating the Fisherrow Branch, the - cost of which works was estimated by Mr. John Miller, the engineer of the Company, at 170,0001. The Committee took an objection to the subscription con- tract, because it included a number of other works to which the present Bill was in no way related; but in all other re spects the Committee decided that the standing orders had been complied with.

Company, hold- ing by the hand a child between two and three tears of age. Wishing, however, to take the infant into her arms, she .tooised for the purpose of lifting it up, when just at that pre cise moment a wave hit against the pier with considerable force, by which both the female and child were precipitated into the water. Notwithstanding that immediate assistance was rendered the young woman was drowned, it being sup posed that her body was drawn under one of the neighbour ing barges, as, up to a late hour last evening, it had not been recovered. The child was, however, fortunatel, rescued in rather a remarkable manner, by a policeman who bad jumped into a boat; the child was floating by means of its clothes, when the policeman reached it by his foot, and getting his foot under the child's clothing, held it up by this means tin further assistance was procured, and the child was thus saved rum a watery grave. LINE. Mr. COATES opened the cast for the petitioner Mr. Joseph Keys, against the subscription contract. He bad to explain to the Committee the nature of the allegation which he was of opinion would net fail td, upset the case for the promoters. Ile contract deed was net an invalid deed, inasmuch as the trustee, Mr. Garrett, was a subscriber to the capital, and therefore he could not sue upon the covenant of the deed. In that very room on Thursday last, a decision was come to in the case of the Ayrshire and Galloway, upon the very same ground. The allegation was just of the same character, and he could not see how the Committee could come to any other decision in the present instance. It was held in law that no partner could sue his co• partners for any expenditure in the outlay of their businers. In the very exact position was the present deed. Take away Mr. Garrett altogether, and then the case was still the same, for the other trustee, though not a shareholder, could not sue either himself or his partner, Mr. Garratt. The Act binds two trustees to carry out a certain contract; one of the trustees was a shareholder in the scheme, and the co-trustee,who was not a shareholder, was answerable for the liabilities of his partner to the deed, and therefore, if he were to sue Mr. Garratt, he would in reality be cueing himself and his partner. This deed was, he would not deny, per se, a valid deed, so far as the capital of the Corn pany was concerned, but as far as the protection of the public was concerned, there was no power under the present deed to enforce the principles of that contract, and, consequently, the public might suffer. Having the' the decision of a Corn mittee on his side in an analogous case, having common sense on his side, and having the law on his side, he trusted that the Committee would see that the standing orders had not been complied with on the part of the promoters. The CHAIRMAN said he remembered one case of last ses sion which was similar to the point now raised. In that case one of the trustees was himself a shareholder, but there was this difference, that without the sum for which he was bound there WAS - more than'amnle capital. He referred to the Eastern Counties (Norwich Extension.) Mr. 13unKm—In the present case he had to say that the con tract deed was perfectly valid. It had been held good, in many decisions in a court of law, that where a co-trusteeship existed, one trustee could recover from the others, under cer tain regaitions of the deed. Now, in the case for the promoters of the present Bill, there was one person who had signed the covenant who was not a subscriber to the undertaking, and that made it quite competent for him to sue the other trustee or the whole Com pany. This had been decided over and over again in courts of law. Mr. COATES replied, after which the room was cleared, and having consulted the Speaker, The CHAIRMAN said that Committee had considered the case which had been argued at such length, but understand ing that exceptions had been taken to the decision of last week by the agents who were interested for the cases which had been alluded to by Mr. Coates, they were anxious to take the opinion of the Chairman of the Sub-Committees who would meet on Thurs day and consider the question raised. The Committee were quite prepared to give their own opinion on the allegation, but it would be no doubt more prudent to wait a consultation of the Chairman, after which they would immediately decide the point at issue. IMPORTANT TO PARLIAMENTARY AGENTS. The CRAIR3fAIf said that he was instructed by the Speaker to inform the agents for Bills, that they had neglected to comply with the standing orders, which required the name of the Bill to be written on every petition for or against the same; any petition being presented without this form being complied with, was contrary to the standing order, which was as follows: " That on every petition presented to this House, relating to any private Bill before the House, the name, or short title, by which such Bill is entered in the votes, be written at the beginning thereof; and whether such petition be in favour or against the Bill relating to the non - compliance with the staning orders." 'NEWaUIt thlre. AND BATH LINE. promoters, and called L Mr O7 cO D A O TE N s appeared for seve ral witnesses to prove the several deposits of the plans, sec tions, and books of reference. After which Mr. BURKE said he appeared on the part of Colonel. Wroughton, of the parish of Wilton, in the county of So merset, and other landowners. The petition alleged that the owners of property, though marked on the plans and sections, was not shown in the books of reference. The Clerk of the Peace for the county of Somerset was then called. Mr. COATES objected to the petition being proceeded with on the part of the owuers in the petition, unless it could be shown that they were parties actually to be affected by the proposed line. The room was then cleared, and upon the parties being called in, The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee would not enter tain any petition against the omission of property in the books of reference, unless it could be shown that the petition was presented by the consent of the parties to be affected by the non-compliance with the standing orders. Mr. BURKE would call Col. Wroughton. The witness merely pointed out his property on the plan. The Clerk of the Peace for the county of Somerset was then called to produce the book of reference which had been deposited with him. Upon referring to the book, it turned out that the property was fully described. Mr. BunrE said dish he would, of course, abandon that allegation, as well as several others which were diaposed of by the decision of the Committee. Mrs. Susannah Shaw was then called to prove that she had not received notice for a piece of meadow ground which was to be taken. This allegation was sustained. The Committee adjourned, at four o'clock, till twelve o'clock to-morrow, when the remaining allegations in the petition will be taken. Sub Gurnnittes Nu. 2. This Committee sat to -day a few minutes before ona o'clock. Them were present—Sir J. Y. Buller (Chairman), Mr. Walker, Mr. Craig, Mr. Kemple, Mr. Bell, and the O'Conor Don. THE CAMBEZIDGS iIIID OXPORD 3LAILWAY was heard. .. _ Mr. livarr (in f , upport of the motion) said—The first alle gation in the petition was, that the plans and sections of the line, as deposited with the clerk of the peace at Oxford, were not in compliance with the standing orders. In No. 12 the parish of Barington was not marked in the line of deviation. Mr. M. J. Davenport (engineer) proved the omission alleged. The distance of deviation was about 15 perches. The CHAIRMAN Sad that in this case the orders had been complied with. The next allegation was that the distances, miles and furlongs, were not correctly marked on the plan. Mr. ELLICOMBE objected to the term the plan, as being too vague. This led to some discussion, but the Committee were of opinion that the term was sufficiently specific. Mr. M. J. Davenport was examined in support of this allegation. In one section (50) for 10 there were marked 11 furlongs. The CuainstaN said the standing orders had been complied with hi the present instance. The next allegation was, that the alternate miles, as laid down on the datum line, were incorrect. Mr. Davenport was examined in support of the allegation, and the Committee considered that on the 3d mile and 46th furlong there was incorrectness, and therefore that the stand ing orders in that instance had not been complied. The next allegation was that the gradients were impro perly marked. Mr. Davenport said that in one section instead of 84 it should have been marked 90. Ile did not survey the line. Mr. Denton (the engineer of the Company) was examined. He said in the section alluded to the marking was perfectly correct, in which the Committee concurred. It was also alleged that there were various other inaccura cies on the line. itie CHAIRMAN said, in the case of the Oxford and Cam bridge Railway, the Comniittee were of opinion that the standing orders had not been complied with. LONDON AND BRIGHTON (WANDSWORTH BRANCH) RAILWAY, The Bill stated net the proposed railway would be of great public benefit. There were two petitions alleging non compliance with the standing orders, but no one appeared in their support.. Witnesses wire then examined to prove that the usual forms had been complied with. The line was to pass through Streatham, Mitcham, Tooting, and Wandsworth. Mr. PRITT said that this Bill had been thrown out by the Committee on its merits last session. The present Bill, by clause 39A, would not require more than 5 per cent. The CHAIRMAN considered that it would be necessary to prove that the present was precisely similar to that intro duced into Parliament last year. Mr. Pitirr stated that there was no material difference. The Committee wore of opinion that the deposit of 5 per cent. was sufficient in this case. The remaining evidence was of the usual character, and the Committee were of opinion that the standing orders had been complied with. SICEPTIELD A:VD LLINCOLN JUNCTION RAIWAY. as well as the p resen t e Mr. Farr said that the pre sent was on e of those that arose out of the standing orde r to which he had alread y referred in the preceding case. _ Mr. Gainsford examined —Was solicitor t o t h e B ill y s t t shees►isoanm as the form er Bill . , The Bill of last year was for a main line and a branch. The House had negative d the branch, and the 13111 was orde re d t o bßriollu,gwhitlibehefo was re Parliament substantially be engrossed. The main line for which the p resent petition praye • d was exactly the s ame vs the main lin e of the former petit ion. Mr. LAING, agent, presented a petition from Mr. W. D un Wheeler, of Sheffield , so licitor, on the p art of h is client, Mr. tantiallal Clarke Hutchinson, stating that the proposed line would pass through and injure his property, and that the petition was not presented by the sarnes parties who had brought it for ward last year. Mr. Pairr said he objected in limini to the objection being beard, as the petition was presented by one party on behalf of another, whereas the party interested should apply himself. It appearing that the petitioner had been authorised to act for Mr. Hutchinson, the petition was received. Mr. LAING said that his objection was, that the standing orders required parties to prove that the undertaking was car ried on by the same persons. Mr. Gainsford was then examined, and stated that the par ties were the same, and there was the same body of directors with the exception of on e individual, who bad retired from old ago. Mr. LAING said that out of 73 who had signed, only 23 had signed the present petition, while out of 707 who c had ,igned the former contract only 98 had attached their names to the present deed. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were unanimously of opinion that the petition was from the same parties. The Committee decided that the standing orders had been complied with by the Company.

B RITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, NEW ROAD, LONDON. Messrs. MORISON have much pleasure in publishing the follow ing letter with the writer's permission. It is well-known to all the world that Lady Sophia Grey has been following the Hygeian treatment for the last ten years, and therefore her opinion must be admitted as highly valuable in a matter of such vast importance. ller Ladyship's letter is as follows: " Sandiway, near Northwich, Cheshire, December Ilth, 1845. " Gentlemen,—This has been such a dreadful sickly year amongst the poor, that the demand for your most excellent pills has been very great, and I shall therefore be thankful for the usual supply of them. " I take this opportunity of enclosing the 5L for 1846, towards the Exeter ilygeian Dispensary. " I think nothing can be more satisfactory than the pro g ress that your medicine makes; and wishing it may in time gain a complete victory. " I remain, Gentlemen, " Your sincerely obliged, " GREY."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUiV. - - SIN-If it will not be encroaching on your valuable space, will you allow me, through the medium of your journal, to ask two questions of those enlightened jurymen, who dis played so much judgmemt and humarity in the case of the unparallelled monster, Captain Johnstone? The first point on which I should like to be informed is, whether a man's drinking to excess, with a view to embolden him to commit some atrocious deed, is a sufficient plea for insanity? If so, I should advise all murderers, ere they proceed to their awful task, to take to drinking a day or two beforehand, when they will undergo a mock ceremony, called a trial, and be acquitted on the ground of insanity. Why was Taiping hung, who shot his sweetheart in a fit of jealousy. which amounts to nothing less than temporary insanity? The second question I would ask is, whether they took their own views of the case or those of the counsel for the de fendant? It would seem they were entirely guided by the latter. Thus the primary object of juries has been frus tratLd. Your humble and obedient servant, JUSTITIA.. To-day is the sixth anniversary of the mar riage of her Majesty with his Royal Highness Prince Albert. ROBBERY AT KINGSGA.TE-STREET COURT OF RE QUESTS.— On Saturday information was circulated thoughout the Metropolitan and City police, that during the night of Tuesday last some thief or thieves stole from the above court about 4/. in silver, and about ss. in copper. The thieves were, no doubt, from the smallness of the sum thus obtained, greatly disappointed in their hope of plunder. THE CORN MARKETS.—It is worthy of remark that at the 'Wakefield corn market on Friday, the prices of all kinds of grain advanced. Already the farmers, factors, and millers see the emptiness of the fears which have so long haunted them in regard to .the effect of opening the ports.— Leeds Mercury. At a recent meeting of the Commissioners of the Middlesex and Essex Turnpike Trust, at the Bird-in-Hand, Stratford, it was still deemed expedient to collect the tolls through their own servants, in lieu of letting them, as was the custom a few years since. The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Com mons gave his second full dress Parliamentary entertainment on Saturday last, at his house in Eaton-square. The follow ing noblemen and gentlemen were the guests on this occa sion :—Lord John Russell, Viscount Palmerston, the Right Hon. Sir John Cam Hobhouse, the Right Hon. Henry La bouchere, the Right Hon. B. Macaulay, the Right. Hon. Francis T. Baring, the Right Hon. Edward Ellice, the Hon. Fox Manic, Lord Marcus Hill, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Mr. G, Bung., Sir George Grey, Mr. Vernon Smith, Sir William Clay, Colonel Fox, Rear-Admiral D. Dundas, Mr. C. Buller, Mr. Rutherford, Mr. Bernal, Mr. Tufnell, Mr. Horsman, Sir Thos. Troubridge, and Mr. J. Parker. HAWICE. lIRANCHES. This was another petition of the North British Railway, Company, for leave to bring in a Bill to make a number of branches from their Ilawick line, the estimated cost of which was 770,0001._ The Committee took an objection to the plans, inasmuch as they did not correspond with the petition for the Bill. 13y the petition the Company sought for powers to make a branch from Torwood Lee to Selkirk, while the plans deposited were for a branch from a place called Rink to Selkirk. Mr. Miller, the engineer of the line, explained that so much of the branch as lay between Torwood Lee and Rink bad already been sanctioned by the Legislature, and, there fore, it was abandoned in the present instance. The Committee complained that this discrepancy between the petition and the plans was calculated to mislead the public, and they trusted that in future the promoters of Bills would make the titles of their lines in their petitions and plans correspond. The decision of the Committee in this case was the same as that in the last. CARLISLE EXTENSIONS. This was another petition of the North British Railway o..npany, for leave to bring in a Bill to construct their Car lisle Extensions, the estimated cost of which was 660,0001. The customary formal proofs having been gone through, the Committee informed the parties that their decision in the former case would apply_to this also. These were the thYeeThills included in the joint subscrip tion contract alluded to in the first case. The aggregate amount which the parties to this instrument bound them selves for was 1,274,6871., and the question whether this deed could apply to three Bills was left for decision of the Com mittee above, or the Committee on Public Petitions. GRETNA BRANCH. This was a fourth petition of the North British Railway Company, for leave to bring in a Bill to construct a branch from a point on their main line to Gretna, the estimated cost of which is 80.0001. The usual evidence of the deposit of plans, &c., having been adduced, the Committee decided that the standing orders had been complied with. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. This was the petition of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway for leave to bring in a Bill to make a branch railway from a point on their main line to Queensferry, the estimated cost of which was 140,000/. The Committee decided that the standing t.:ders had not been observed in one respect. The fixed point where the branch commences on the main line was not suffi ciently specified on the plan of the branch by some distinc tive mark. It was stated in the section that the branch would commence at the point on the plan where the main line diverged, marked A. The plan showed the point where the main line diverged, but it was not marked A. Thp Committee adjourned shortly before five o'clock. Sub-Committee No. 4, Room 11. An additional Sub-C, mmittee was appointed for this day, consisting of the fallowing Members Sir W. Heathcote, chairman ; Mr. Hope Johnstone, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, Mr. Packe, Mr. Acland, Mr. Ewart, Mr. Home Drummond, Mr. Childers, :1; r. Cornwall Leigh, Mr. E. P. Shirley.. The bustness of this Committee commenced at twelve o'clock, when there were present Mr. Home Drummond, Chairman, in the absence of Sir William Heatlicote ; Mr. Hope Johnstone, Mr. Shirley, Mr. Packe, and Mr. Evans. TIPNVELL-CITIVI-WHITNEY FLZCTUrt,y. This was a Bill to empower certain persons therein named to divide the rectory. which is in the county of Norfolk, into three parts; to build one or more churches in each district, and to add a burial-ground to each new church; to provide parsonages and glebe land, and to raise moneys. Adjourned, owing to the petition not being before the Committee. THE SALFORD WATER-WORZS BILL. was passed. WINDSOR, SLOUGH, AND STAINES ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY. This was a Bill to construct a railway from Windsor to Staines, in length eight miles, and estimated to cost 150,0001. Mr. Walmesley, the agent of the Bill, appeared before the Committee, and the usual preliminaries having been gone through, the Committee decter.d the Bill to have passed it. SOUTH MIDLAND (HUNTINGDON BENCH) AND (NORTHAMPTON AND BEDFORD BRANCH) RAIL WAY. These were two Bills for the construction of the above two branch lines, which were together 91 miles in length, and estimated to cost 1,900,0001. The Committee declared that the standing orders had been complied with, except as to there being only one con tract deed for both lines, which was reserved far future con sideration. Messrs. Venables and Co. were the agents for these Bills, and Mr. Vignolles the engineer of the lines LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (PARE-. HAM AND ALTON BRANCH). Length 21 miles, estimated cost 300.0001.

BUCKINGHAM AGRICULTURAL PROTEC I'ION SOCIETY. SATURDAY EVENING.---PIUSU nt to public announcement, a dinner of the Buckingham Agricultural Protection Society took place on Saturday, at the Town-hall. Every nook was filled, and upwards of 500 pers ms sat down to dinner. His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, K.G., presided, and was supported on his right and left by the Earl of Orkney, the Marquis of Chandos, Hon. W. Fitzulau rice, M.P., Dr. Marsham. &c. After the usual toasts of loyalty and courtesy, Mr. P. Box proposed, " The Peers and the Members of the House of Commons who are favourable to protection to native industry." He (Mr. Bux), when be looked around that room, saw persons who possessed capital and estates to the amount of two millions, and had Sir R. Peel a right to say that they should have no voice in the country?--(Hear and cheers.) Had he, or any other man, a right to dictate when they said appeal to the country, and let us judge for our selves?—(Hear, hear.) They considered that they were an ill-used people.—(Cheers.) the assertion of Sir R. Peel, as to the probability of famine, was not right. He would allow that there was an immense decrease in the production of potatoes, and that the sister island was in a state of consider able distress. It was then the duty of the Government to look to it, and if they had done so, the matter would not have appeared before the country in the shape in which it had.—(hear, hear.) With reference to the subject, of this toast, he thought they should have an immense amount of ability in the House of Peers, for it appeared that, when any Member of the House of Commons became obnoxious to Sir R. Peel, he placed him in the Upper House; and to that House they must now look to prevent everything from being sacrificed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Box concluded by proposing the toast, which was drunk with much applause. The Earl of ORKNBY ri turned thanks. Ile could only say for himself that his political conduct would be in accordance with their wishes. It was a matter of great gratification to him that they had received him, and of his brother's (the Hon. W. Fitzmaurice, M.P.), to represent them, and he was sure that he would b e ever ready to advocate their interests, and the general interests of the country. He begged to as sure them that he would, with his utmost ability, support their interests, and he hoped they would yet prevail. Mr. E. llostwooD proposed, " The Members for the County." Mr. Du Pa; M.P., in returning thanks, said he thought it was of the utmost importance that a mutual understand ing should exist between the representative and those who sent him to Parliament. When he saw the spirit which had been aroused there, and the different meetings of farmers and agricultural bodies, throughout the kingdom; above all, when he recollected that they had to fall back on the House of Lords, combining, as it did, all the talent of the country, and led by a Richmond, a Buckingham, and a Cleveland— when he recollected all this, he could not, he would not, de spair.—(Loud cheers.) He was afraid that, in the House of Commons, there would be a far greater majority than even their worst fears would lead them to suppose ; but he did think there was great reason to hope that the House of Peers would turn this apparent defeat into a victory.—(Cheers.) It was net the first occasion on which he had opposed the Government, and he could assure his constituents that he should be found in his place the following Monday, acting in concert with a trusty and united band, who would be still faithful to their colours and adhere firmly to their prin ciples, resolved to throw every obstruction in the way of the proposed measure of which the forms of the constitution would admit.—( Loud cheers.) Captain W. FITZMAURICE, M.P., also acknowledged the toast. He should use his best exertions to promote ti sir views in the approaching debate. He believed a measure had never been proposed which was fraught with so much danger to every class. It favoured the manufacturer to the detriment of the agriculturist, and he should give it hie most cordial opposition. He sat down amidst loud cheering. Mr. H. IiUMPIIRNTS next proposed, " Colonel Hall, the Member fur the borough of Buckingham," which was drunk with the usual honours, and briefly responded to by the Hon. and Gallant Colonel. The Rev. W. 'l'. EYRE then gave, " The Marquis of Chandos, the candidate for the borough of Buckingham." (Drunk with three times three cheers.) The Marquis of CHANDOS briefly returned thanks. The Earl ,f Oaif..emv, in giving the health of the Noble Chairman (his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos) congratulated the agriculturists on having, in the person of the Duke, a nobleman who would stand by them to the last. The toast was drunk with nine times nine rounds of deafening applause. After the tumult had subsided, The Duke of BUCKINGILIM said—l can safely assure you that I find the utmost difficulty in returning my heartfelt and grateful thanks to you for this gratifying mark of your approval and friendship towards me. We have met, gentle. men, to record our opinions and feelings on a great measure recently introduced by the Government, and which has called forth the opinions and feelings of all classes throughout the country ; and were Ito judge from the appearance of this great assembly, I should safely assert that those measures of the Government find no favour in this part of her Majesty's do minions. 1, for my own part, gentlemen, hare nothing to recal.—(Cheers.) In 1841 the Government appealed to this country to ascertain its sentiments upon the alteration they proposed in the corn-laws. They proposed in her Ma jes:y's Speech that an alteration should take place to the extent of an Bs. fixed duty, which they recommended as boat for agriculture and the country at large. Upon the hustings of this country, where that question was argued, a Parliament was avowedly returned by the constituencies throughout die+ land against that nropoe - a1 on the part of th e Government, and in re.eer protelaree e„ agriCUaLure.— ( Hear, bear.) That Governme n t b a d e a di eu tO street in consequence of an early vote brought forward by the then OppoAtion, afterwards her Majesty's Govern merit. It pains me to have find fault with a Government which came in on principles diametrically opposed to their present prac tice—which flew the colour ~ f protection before every consti tuency, and which has forgotten the principles on which they were formed, and acted and became a free-trade Go vernment, pandering to the lowest vices of the lowest order of the country.—(Cheers.) The country in which we live has for years maintained its ascendancy amongst every na tion of the globe, by its interminable resources and the Indo mitable spirit of its people, but you will now, by this measure, attempt to crush those feelings, and lay this noble country the pride of every Engishman—prostrate at the feet of fo reigners.—(Great applause.) You are to do away with your native industry, and to do away with your native agriculture, and you are now to declare yourselves free to receive from all parts of the world corn and other produce. By that very act ou will be thowing out of cultivation much of your sail, and you will then become dependent on those states. I look at it with the deepest alarm and oismay ; but if we are beaten, as we may be, still we shall not be conquered.—(Cheere.) I will not trust myself alone in giving these opinions, and I am gretitied to be able to fall back on Hansard, which gives you the Parliamentary debates; and I will go back to 1539, and quote one paragraph of a speech which Sir James Gra ham uttered' in the House of Commons.—[The Noble Duke then read a paragraph uttered by the present Home Secretary in corroboration of his remark, as well as from an address de livered by Sir 11. Peel in March 1839.] I refer, said his Grace, to those speeches in order to show you that up to that time the very gentlemen who now compose the Adinir nistratiou were your sincerest friends.—(Hear, hear.) And. what is the cause of the change? It appears that in Novem ber—and if it had been very cold weather one would not have been surprised at people meeting together to keep themselves warns over a lire in Downing -street—(a laugh) —but in November a quarrel takes place, and Sir 11. Peel finds liimselfin a minority on the subject of the alteration of the corn-laws. [The Noble Chairman here recapitulated the various Ministerial changes which have been repeated latterly, untie ad nauseam.] In the event of a war, continued his Grace, the greatest distress must prevail.—(Hear, hear.) I hope, however, that we may still altar this measure, or t or r e C cripple or defeat it, that it will not become the l a w land.—(Cheers.) imploreteirMemb ers t the d e agricul tural oht oi ,uty and interest . i n every c un i t e y e - r t s o . see e e h their apposition to the n fig le l a i s t u t r h e e fr b o a n t i tl n e o o s f e t l h fi e s i h r n fr tiv er e . s, Five In fe' r eling of dislike to prosper ; I one class or the other ; I want to b b a r t i bring i 3 n o t ' ( l ) the heat no country ed ; (grLoeuadteseth cheers) and misery my cla see post with the Duke of want t t o he se a e g a ri l C l h il a rt i e )p r 3 e r st an l d fe se e r n yt myU t h stroy i d: a a t t . t e 's „, b r l o f. o e d i l it of tr this h a c a o l l a n n ab t t r ei y ona t .t h — e rely upon it Rich who is at the head of the Cent ra l S oc i ety- , (Cheers) —to —to defeat if possible this measure--to do it all - the harm we can ; fur if we cannot defeat it we will endeavour to crirple it, and you shall never have to charge with incon sistency the man who now sits down thanking you from the bottom of his heart. (The Noble Duke resumed his seat amidst loud and long. continued applause.) The Rev. F. LITCHFIELD, in proposing the next toast— " His Grace the Duke of Richmond, President of the Central Society "--said lie looked upon Sir Robert's Peel measure as a gigantic scheme of plunder, intended to transfer one man's property to another in the most reckless and wicked mariner. He would tell Sir Robert Peel that there were three characters in ancient history which he might study, with profit to himself, and, perhaps, advantage to his country—namely, Catiline, Cicero, and Brutus. He might learn that if Catiline, when he was prepared to betray his country, had kept his own secret, he might have succeeded in his wicked object, but he would have been handed down to posterity as a successful knave.—(Cheers.) Prom Cicero he might learn that he was honoured for his eloquence, but died despised as a coward—(Renewed cheers)—and from Brutus he might be taught that if Caesar was the monopolizer of the Crown, his sworn friend was not the man who should have slain him.—(Great applause.) The toast was then drunk with the accustomed honours. The Marquis of CHANDOS next proposed—" Prosperity to) the Central Society and other local societies for the protection of agriculture and native industry." . _ Other toasts followed, and the conviviality of the eve inc was prolonged to a late hour. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Site,—Through an allusion of the Times newspaper to the, failure of a Jewish firm, some persons have reported it to be that of Moses and Son, of the hlinories, and which is calcu lated to do them some considerable injury.
